Ep3: The Bloody Boss of Black Beach Prison
Manage episode 357874260 series 3357271
Why does the nation with the highest GDP per capita in Africa allow most of its people to live in desperate poverty with no access to health care or primary education, and a sickening human rights record? Oh – that'll be down to (alleged) murderer and torturer President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who has mobilised oil money and the politics of terror to make his name as the world's longest-serving (and utterly self-serving) President. The tale of post-colonial Equatorial Guinea is a tragic one and, in this episode of Our Glorious Leaders, Fraser Allen & Malcolm Triggs explore Obiang's oppressive world with the help of exiled activist and writer Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel.
