Look at the two images, look closely; can you differentiate which image is inside an African country and which image is not? Well I tell you, the image on the left, on Thursday, September 29, 2022, belongs to a group of Equatorial Guinean citizens accumulated like cattle in a truck of the army of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the dictator of Equatorial Guinea and the longest-living dictator in the world, their sin, to gather at the headquarters of their political party CI “Citizens for Innovation,” something that the regime of the dictator Obiang had forbidden them, because according to what the dictatorship said, the justice of the regime had illegalized that party, and as it was necessary to comply with “the law”, he sent his army to storm the headquarters and arrest those he calls “enemies of the fatherland”, many died in the assault.
The second image on the right, are Africans from sub-Saharan Africa like us also accumulated like cattle in Melilla, on the border between Morocco and Europe, the sin of these people is to try to jump the fence in search of a better life, they all escape from African regimes, dictatorships, where the leaders only know corruption, repression and an unquenchable thirst for power, where the lives of their citizens mean absolutely nothing, they trample them as if they were insects, anyone who dares to raise his voice to protest or criticize the living conditions of the country is crushed like a cockroach.
I’m struck by the fact that many of our compatriots prefer to criticize the discrimination and racism of which we are victims in different parts of the world, rather than say a single word against our governments and regimes, when it is clear that Africans receive worse treatment from our heartless dictators, “brothers” of the same skin color as us within our countries, mistreatment that on the other hand is at the origin of our flight to Europe and the rest of the world, it is assumed that being victims of discrimination and racism in the world, we should be among us the most supportive people, but it’s quite the opposite.
It is even more vomitous, when one hears from the mouths of our leaders calling the Europeans slavers for their policies in Africa, while themselves don’t lift a finger for the welfare of their citizens, the vice president of Equatorial Guinea, the son of the dictator Obiang, is one of those who criticizes the Europeans when they requisition goods acquired fraudulently that he cannot prove their origin, corruption, diversion of state funds, embezzlement, the daily bread is the disappearance of hundreds of billions of cefas francs from state coffers, etc.. And it is the same person, the vice-president son of the tyrant of Equatorial Guinea, who is running to replace his father, and thus continue a merciless regime that has lasted half a century.
Party members of the opposition party Citizens for Innovation (C.I.) mistreated after the assault on their headquarters by the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE). Thursday, September 29, 2022. Ready to be taken to the infernal of Black Beach.
This Equatorial Guinean regime, incapable, not only of working for the progress and development of the citizens, but some of them do not even receive their salary, a miserable salary that barely covers the month, an official recently denounced that they have not been paid for five months or more, the citizens, even working, have to beg for their small salary. There is no need to talk here about the persecution of politicians, it is almost forbidden for citizens to complain or talk about politics, they live in fear.
The leader of the opposition party Citizens for Innovation (C.I.), Gabriel Nse Obiang Obono and his party members were mistreated in the street by orders of the tyrant Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, after storming their headquarters on Thursday, September 29, 2022. The leader was left in his underwear as shown in the first photo.
Our country ranks among the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world, a country with less than two million people and a huge reserve of natural resources, while the dictator, his children, family and other henchmen of the regime make gold. This is Africa; these are our dictators and their regimes, the biggest slavers of the 20th & 21st century.
