No African leader who wants good for his people has ever been welcomed by Western political powers. From Tomás Sankara to the imprisonment of Mandela by the Germans who control South Africa, going through all the prefabricated wars in Africa to cause social instability while the resources of the peoples are plundered; very few African leaders with true nationalism and pan-Africanism have led the destinies of their peoples. The socio-political instability of Africa and its peoples is the ultimate goal of racist imperialisms in the world. That is why the story of Obiang Nguema mbasogo, President of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea is an important part of the History of Africa, the True History of Africa. No African leader or African leader who has wanted to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of his country has been considered a friend to the imperialists and the financial powers that control global macro politics. For this reason, and because nobody is perfect, to write about Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, President of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, is to write with knowledge of the facts, since I have always defended a single cause in relation to my country, and it is the cause of A Better Guinea. As an African, respect for the elderly regardless of personal particularities makes the responsibility of writing in the year 2021 about an African Head of State in power since 1979, five years before my birth, even more serious. As an Equatorial Guinean, I know from experience the socio-political reality of the country from all fronts, and I have never been impartial, because I am an objective and above all rational person. The disorder and the senseless, and that alleged monopoly of knowledge of those who claim to be politicians in Equatorial Guinea because that is their profession, is not part of my rhetoric. I respect everyone's opinion and as an Equatoguinean and African, I do not expect my opinion to be respected, much less by Equatoguineans and Africans, because in short, in Africa individual opinions are not respected or rather, they are not tolerated. For this reason, I am going to ask intolerance for a little patience while reading these lines, since freedom of expression is not a two-edged sword but simply and clearly a straight line. There is no country without poverty, but poverty is a shame, because it is created easily and through negligence, and it is also easily avoided and with the technical knowledge that experience provides. When a country is as rich as Equatorial Guinea, with more maritime territory than continental and with huge deposits of oil and gas; For a small country of around two million inhabitants that means doom for the People when its leaders are irresponsible, and a blessing for the Nation when its leaders are responsible. When people talk about Equatorial Guinea in the world, unfortunately they only talk about oil and human rights, those rights that are denied to all Africans and Afro-descendants in the world when their resources are assaulted and kidnapped by foreign powers. Those rights that are also denied to many Equatorial Guineans, and the evidence is in their experiences, experiences and their truth, which is also a struggle. Coming of age of life is not the same as coming of age in politics. The political age of majority is acquired after many experiences. The political age of majority is acquired after having been assigned to the front line together with the supposed political leaders and seeing that they are not leaders of anything or represent anyone. Political age of majority is acquired by observing and feeling that the People of Equatorial Guinea are very tired of their own discontent. The political age of majority is acquired after seeing that corruption is the flag that has replaced the flag of any party, and that is a serious problem for our young Nation. Equatorial Guinea is a young country that has reached Political Majority. The political age of majority is acquired when one speaks in the first person and with knowledge of the facts, because he does not have political, economic, blood or any other commitments with anyone other than the People.

"The African cities of Bata and Al-Hoceima were created during the Spanish colonial rule of Equatorial Guinea and Morocco. This book constructs their local history to analyse how Spanish colonialism worked, what its legacies were and the imprints it left on their national histories. The work explains the revision of collective memories of the past in the present as a form of decolonisation that seeks to build different foundations for the future in a transnational and glocal framework. The result is an exciting puzzle of individual and collective memories in which Africans contest their colonial cultural heritage and shape their identities at a global level"--

In the easy moments and when everything is going well, everyone is your friend; and in difficult moments the true enemies are revealed. This has been the political lesson of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea in its small project of a modern nation in central Africa. This small African nation has become in recent decades in the crosshairs of locals and strangers. On the one hand, not only is it the only Spanish-speaking African country, but its abundant natural resources, mainly oil and gas, have caused the country to come out of oblivion after a ruthless Spanish colonization. This is the True History of Africa, of Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, President of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea.

A remarkable debut by one of America's premier young reporters on financial corruption, Casey Michel's American Kleptocracy offers an explosive investigation into how the United States of America built the largest illicit offshore finance system the world has ever known. "An indefatigable young American journalist who has virtually cornered the international kleptocracy beat on the US end of the black aquifer." —The Los Angeles Review of Books For years, one country has acted as the greatest offshore haven in the world, attracting hundreds of billions of dollars in illicit finance tied directly to corrupt regimes, extremist networks, and the worst the world has to offer. But it hasn’t been the sand-splattered Caribbean islands, or even traditional financial secrecy havens like Switzerland or Panama, that have come to dominate the offshoring world. Instead, the country profiting the most also happens to be the one that still claims to be the moral leader of the free world, and the one that claims to be leading the fight against the crooked and the corrupt: the USA. American Kleptocracy examines just how the United States’ implosion into a center of global offshoring took place: how states like Delaware and Nevada perfected the art of the anonymous shell company, and how post-9/11 reformers watched their success usher in a new flood of illicit finance directly into the U.S.; how African despots and post-Soviet oligarchs came to dominate American coastlines, American industries, and entire cities and small towns across the American Midwest; how Nazi-era lobbyists birthed an entire industry of spin-men whitewashing trans-national crooks and despots, and how dirty money has now begun infiltrating America's universities and think tanks and cultural centers; and how those on the front-line are trying to restore America's legacy of anti-corruption leadership—and finally end this reign of American kleptocracy.

This 102-page report details how the dictatorship under President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has used an oil boom to entrench and enrich itself further at the expense of the country's people. Since oil was discovered there in the early 1990s, Equatorial Guinea's gross domestic product (GDP) has increased more than 5,000 percent, and the country has become the fourth-largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, living standards for the country's 500,000 people have not substantially improved.--Publisher description.

With the removal of not only Saddam Hussein but also Jean-Betrand Aristide, as well as the ongoing civil war in against Charles Taylor in Liberia, much has changed in the world of dictators since the first publication of this work less than a year ago. With his colleagues in diplomacy and politics shying away from bold solutions to this ever-present problem, Ambassador Mark Palmer has once again set out to persuade everyone that the only way to achieve global peace is through the removal of dictators with democracy as their replacements. Drawing on his 25 years of extensive diplomatic experience, Ambassador Palmer asks us to embrace a bold vision of a world made safe by democracy. This is the story of the remaining dictators, the strategy and tactics to oust them, and the need to empower the people of every nation to control their own destinies. We know that these dictators are at the root of terrorism and war. Under their leadership and instruction, millions have gone to their deaths, a great many more have been forced to become refugees across the planet, and nations have been driven into poverty, famine, and despair. With all of this, Ambassador Palmer has led a passionate fight to end this Axis of Evil in the not too distant future. For if dictatorships are allowed to continue, the world will never be safe for democracy.
