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.

Equatorial Guinea relieved from siege

Written by postmodem on

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 awkardly stands out as someone with many distainful colonial trappings clinging to him.

Extradited to Equatorial Guinea in February 2008 on charges embroilling him in a plot, the story has been obtained a leverage worthy of greater attention since allegations sufaced of a certain Mark Thatcher's involvement (son of former British Prime Minister, Margarot Thatcher).

Very little is known about how the maintenance of this supposed coup does incriminate Mark Thatcher, other than having rumours circulate concerning how the operation was fiananced.

President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has spoken quite vociferously against the actions of Mr Simon Mann and his co-conspirators, suggesting that Mann could easily be regarded a pawn in this circumstance, and evidentially is expected to be granted clemency as an overall result of proceedings.
