- Equatorial Guinea (official name: the Republic of Equatorial Guinea) is a country located in the western part of Middle Africa, and with an area of only 28,051 km² is one of the smallest countries of Africa. It shares its borders with Cameroon, Gabon, and the Gulf of Guinea. Earlier it was a Spanish colony and was known as Spanish Guinea. The country has many islands, including a bigger island named Bioko where the capital, Malabo (formerly Santa Isabel), is located. The country acquired its present name, Equatorial Guinea, after gaining independence, and its new name is indicative of its location near both the equator and the Gulf of Guinea.
- It was originally a Portuguese colony, until it was given to Spain in exchange of Spanish territory in America. That’s right, people in Equatorial Guinea speak Spanish. That turns them almost into outcasts in the continent. In their defense, though, they also speak French. In spite of having oil deposits, the country is rather poor. Maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with the leaders’ kleptomaniac ways. Especially considering Obiang is filthy rich. By the way, the country is not on the Equator. It is close to it, though. Oh, and it has Pygmies.

This tiny country, composed of a mainland portion plus five inhabited islands, is one of the smallest on the African continent. President Teodoro OBIANG NGUEMA MBASOGO has ruled the country since 1979 when he seized power in a coup. Although nominally a constitutional democracy since 1991, the 1996, 2002, and 2009 presidential elections - as well as the 1999 and 2004 legislative elections - were widely seen as flawed. The president exerts almost total control over the political system and has discouraged political opposition. Equatorial Guinea has experienced rapid economic growth due to the discovery of large offshore oil reserves, and in the last decade has become Sub-Saharan Africa's third largest oil exporte
