Since its indepence from Spain in 1968 Equitorial Guinea has been
ruled by two men from the same family. Many describe this family as
some of the worst human rights abusers in all of Africa.
" In the 1970s it became notorious when the widespread human
rights abuses of President Francisco Nguema caused a third of the
population to flee."
Equitorial Guinea is made of 2 parts, one is the volcanic island of
Bioko, and the other is the mostly tropical jungle of Rio Muni. Near
their chief city of Bata, they have a jetport, a new highway, and a
television transmitter.

Abstract
The article discusses the "politcs" and development of the oil
field in Equitorial Guinea in Malabo. The president's party is
harassing other parties and hustling them out of the election. Right
now two parties have left and another two are about to go, and soon
only the president's will be left. The election is merely there for
the people to show who they picked with their picture ballots under
the eyes of security. Although the presidents area isn't that lavish,
he keeps it for the oil. One company has already moved in and has been
modestly succesful and Mobil is about to come in and take more than
40000 barrels of oil a day from one of the fields.
