Médouneu is a small town in northern Gabon. It is the capital of the Haut-Ntem Department in Woleu-Ntem province. As of 2009 it had an estimated population of 2,445.[1]
The town is served by Médouneu Airport.
Although Médouneu lies entirely outside the de-jure boundaries of Gabon and inside the ones of Equatorial Guinea, the latter does not claim sovereignty over it in order to avoid a similar conflict around Ebibeyin, the third most populous city in Equatorial Guinea after Bata and Malabo, but which has a large part of its territory within the de-jure boundaries of Gabon.[2]
