'No alternative' in Equatorial Guinea elections - 28 Nov 09

Equatorial Guinea will hold presidential elections on Sunday, and its leader of thirty years predicts he will win almost 100 per cent of the vote. Equatorial Guinea had a low international profile until large oil reserves were discovered in 1994. Since then, its per capita income has expanded to more than $30,000 a year,. making it the richest nation in sub-Saharan Africa. But living conditions for most people in the country remain harsh. Many of them survive on less than a dollar a day. And the life expectancy for the average citizen is just 50 years. Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege sat down with President Obiang in the capital Malabo in his first interview with foreign media in several years.

@arginineification maybe you want his uncle to come back , which attempted genocide in the 70's before the coup and murdered thoussands. obiang actually is much better but not perfect. hes developed the country far better than his uncle would have done.

@DoniX100pre anda sudaca de mierda.....deja de presumir de lo que careces hijo de la gran puta

El señor Presidente, mejor conocido como dictador y dinosaurio africano, quizás hable un español digno y transparente pero, hablando de transparencia, Guinea Ecuatorial es uno de los peores países en ese rubro. Ahí hay una corrupción que avergüenza al resto de los países hispanos (la mayoría de estos), aunque no así al resto de los africanos porque son similares a Guinea Ecuatorial. No estoy en contra de estos hispanoafricanos precisamente por la hermandad, pero si del idiota dictador.

Y la madre Patria, si le entiendo, es responsable por ellos? Y si son hijos de nadie dudo que son hijos o hermanos nuestros. El señor Presidente habla un español digno y transparente.

Estos negros son impresentables, no tienen ni un mínimo de democracia. Son hijos de nadie, y su madre patria (España) no los ayuda positivamente. Vergüenza ajena da.
