cc. In an emotive piece about a country largely distant in the world’s consciousness, Fernando Gamboa discusses the entrenched hold of the brutal Obiang dictatorship in Equatorial Guinea. Underlining the relentless ability of the presidential clan to systematically plunder the central African nation’s abundant natural resources, Gamboa evokes the shocking practices of torture and robbery imposed upon a long-suffering populace. Situating the country’s demise in Spain’s rushed decolonisation process of 1968, the author appeals to the cultural unity of contemporary Spaniards and Equatoguineans, with a view to fostering greater awareness and international pressure to undermine tacit global support for uncompromising oppression.
