Chomba
Chomba is a village under the Bamenda municipality in Cameroon.
Chomba is a village under the Bamenda municipality in Cameroon. The village is located six kilometers outside of Bamenda town. Before the 1960s, no motorable road linked the village to Bamenda town. The main road that links the village to the town was constructed manually by the villagers themselves. It was until the late 1970s/early 1980s that motor vehicles could reach the village. Today, the village is linked to the Bamenda town, by a half-paved/half-unpaved road.
