How the Nguema Dynasty of Equatorial Guinea Have Kept Power for Over 55 years!

For over 55 years since independence in October 1968, a single family has been in power in Equatorial Guinea without change. This is the Nguema Family of Equatorial Guinea. The world's longest-standing leader, President Teodoro Obiang of Equatorial Guinea has been in power for 44 years after he snatched power in a 1979 coup from his uncle Francisco Macias Nguema.
Equatorial Guinea enjoyed only 5 months of independence before it was tossed into a nightmare of a brutal dictatorship of Macias Nguema that lasted for eleven years….

I’d be interested in a video on Félix Houphouët-Boigny and his abuse of cocoa funds

[@aped]

Felix was already wealthy. Whatever abuse there was were probably to cement political alliances not for his own personal use.

[@Hist247]

​@@aped,not true. Félix Houphouët-Boigny was not wealthy. He came from a royal family but wealthy he was not. He became wealthy because he agreed, 1. to submit to French domination and continued subjugation of Africans. 2. to accept the French as superior to Africans, and so the French enabled him as a European in black skin, just as the French enabled Omar Bongo, Ali Bongo, Paul Biya, and Alassane Qattara. All of them became wealthy because they enabled the French to destroy black people economically and culturally. The French offered him a simple quid pro quo. We will accept as a black bourgeois and let you rule if you protect our power and wealth extraction scheme in Ivory Coast. Félix Houphouët-Boigny is one of those who could best explain why France was able to continue extracting hundreds of billions of wealth out of West Africa and the corresponding mass ignorance and mass poverty in West Africa today.

[@jonathankaranja5857]

While at it, would you please highlight Felix Houphouet-Boigny's fall-out (though I'm not sure if it's true) with his son,over a lady?

Only for the plotters to be the new devils. If transfer of power can't be achieved peacefully like in Namibia and Botsuana, many African nations will never be prosperous.

[@rinzo2009]

The 3-generation Quote is mostly true, but the Kim's in DPRK might prove to be a major exception if the sister or daughter of the Supreme Leader take charge. As for the Nguema dynasty, we'll let's see how things go because I see Theo more as a player (if you get my drift).

[@davidanderson9664]

Excellent. Actually I know a lot about E.G. and the Nguema horrors: you nailed it as always. I write about African politics for various publications. You found some footage even I'd never seen !! D.A., J.D., NYC

[@davies1simbayi]

So you should be the perfect person for my idea for his next video E. G, Angola, and Nigeria are the biggest oil producers in Africa right. Angola just left OPEC These three countries can join forces and make serious money while saving the world from increasing prices, inflation This is africa time to shine

[@davies1simbayi]

What publication do you write

[@SpiritTemple]

Excellent vid! I find Equatorial Guinea's story to be quite interesting.

[@akouafray8616]

It's like a continuous sin to the leaders of Central Africa. Cameroon,Gabon and equatorial Guinea on one team .

[@jonathankaranja5857]

Quite interesting sir. Please do a video of Felix Houphouët-Boigny of Cote d'Ivoire (including his alleged fall out with his son over a woman that the son had married). Regards from Kenya 🇰🇪.

[@xavier7075]

Watching this video for the second time, very interesting

[@slimpickens01]

Heard about Teodorin Obiang around 2014 in an article about Hawaiian fishing. The writer told a story about some wealthy 'African Prince' from EG that was sailing off of Maui and had a yacht full of 'babes'. Then after that I looked into this guy and found out he was dating the rapper Eve at that time and bought Michael Jackson glove from Billie Jean.

[@teddydog6229]

I am not a big supporter of foreign regime change. My memories of Iraq and Afghanistan are far too vivid for that. I also realize democracy isn’t exactly on the march at the moment - though I believe it will be again. And Africa has already proven that it’s as ‘ready’ for democracy as anywhere else on earth. The situation in this country is intolerable. First they’re ruled for more than a decade by a genuine madman who is followed by his sadistic thug of a nephew followed by his greedy idiot son. This mafia family has been terrorizing and robbing everything from its poor people for almost 60 years now. I wish some coalition of African states like ECOMOG - minus the corruption - would chase these criminals from power and let the people of Equatorial Guinea genuinely choose what kind of government they truly want. Thomas Sankara may be dead but he is not forgotten and I imagine his spirit is mightily displeased that the likes of the Nguema clan are still forcing Africans to live in such misery. And shame on my own country for not only turning a blind eye to what’s happening but inviting Obiang for state visits and letting his son live here. They owe the people of Equatorial Guinea every penny they’ve stripped from the people. Again thank you so much for both starting this channel and doing such a magnificent job with it. This has become the best single source of information on Africa I know. The US media is almost useless in that regard. And those films are beyond amazing. I never thought I would see actual films of Macias at his trial and in his prison cell no less. Just curious - have you ever considered an episode on Ali Solih of the Comoros ? He was not quite Macias but not so far off either. Liberate Equatorial Guinea ! They have suffered enough.

Macias is actually not related to The Obiang family...I met these folks and their family members told me as well.
