The town was captured by the French Colonial forces in May 1897; they established a military base there.
The town is an important market town and has a range of crafts, including pottery and basket work. There are caves near the town known to locals as les grottes. They were built under the French colonial command around 1900 using forced labour and form a network of tunnels to the west of the town.
There is also a swamp with crocodiles.
