Equatorial Guinea

A community portal about Equatorial Guinea with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Equatorial Guinea, officially the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, is a country in West Middle Africa, one of the smallest in continental Africa. It is bordered by Cameroon on the north, Gabon on the south and east, and the Gulf of Guinea on the west, where the islands of São Tome and Príncipe lie to its southwest. Formerly the Spanish colony of Spanish Guinea, the country's territory includes a number of islands, including the sizable island of Bioko where the capital, Malabo, is located. Its post-independence name is suggestive of its location near both the equator and the Gulf of Guinea. It is the only country in mainland Africa where Spanish is an official language, excluding the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.

When it comes to Africa, prosperity appears to be a guest not wanting to pay a visit. Africa is probably the only continent to have either reversed or stagnated the living standards of her people in the last 25-30 years. If you have ever wondered why this is the case, then a country by the name of Equatorial Guinea has an answer. This tiny country, composed of a mainland portion plus five Read Full Story

Interesting article from the Bangkok Post about how confusing the 2010 African World Cup qualifiers are. As they put it, 'FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) are on course to score an own goal' with their qualifier rules. Basically, there's a situation where South Africa may have to lose or draw to make it to the next round (weird, I know. Play along). South Africa spokesman Sipho Nkumane said the situation was strange, to say the least. "It is a difficult situation. How... Read Full Story

It is a story that has made headlines in the UK because it involves some high-level British players, via The Guardian: "The British mercenary Simon Mann was today sentenced to 34 years in prison for plotting to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea. The Eton-educated former SAS officer was sentenced after a trial last month during which it was claimed that a number of western governments knew about the coup plans. The court heard that Sir Mark Thatcher, the son of the former British... Read Full Story

It would be hard to find a better bolt hole than the Casa Flores, a luxury villa hidden in dense forest on a mountain above San Pedro de Alcantara, southern Spain. Casa Flores is part of a complex called El Madronal. Unlike the high-density “urbanisations” that now disfigure the entire Mediterranean coast of Spain, El Madronal offers luxury, privacy and, above all, security. A central control room within the huge complex monitors all movement 24 hours a day via a bank of CCTV screens. The... Read Full Story

Equatorial Guinea relieved from siege

News about prosecutory trials carried out in Africa are scarcely reported at all within Europe without something being relevant and beneficial to the prestige of state institutions, and reminiscent of a country's sovereign rule over other territories. The existence of expatriates abroad does provoke controversy to some degree in countries whereby the acceptance of them is alrea fairly tenuous more generally. In the case of Simon Mann, a businessman and former commando, he I believe... Read Full Story
