Summary:

Equatorial Guinea has been ruled by authoritarian President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo for 40 years.

After receiving military training in Spain (former colonizer), Obiang overthrew (killed) his uncle to become President.

Despite being (relatively) oil rich for its size, less than half of the country’s 1.3 million people have access to clean water.

Obiang hordes most of the oil wealth for himself and associates.

His son spent $300 million on luxuries from 2004-2011.

The government intentionally underfunds education to prevent uprisings.
