Brief history

On October 12, 1968, after a referendum, Equatorial Guinea formally declared its independence and established the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, with Masie Nguema as its president. Massier claimed to be a Marxist and declared the "National Workers' Unity Party" as the only political party. It implemented a high-pressure policy politically and an ultra-left "socialist" policy economically. This resulted in the loss of a large number of skilled foreign workers and a sharp economic decline.

On August 3, 1979, Lieutenant Colonel Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the deputy minister of the National Revolutionary People’s Armed Forces, launched a military coup to overthrow the Masier regime and establish the supreme leader headed by him. Military committee.

In November 1991, Equatorial Guinea passed a new constitution by referendum, allowing a multi-party system.

Safety

Without permission, it is strictly forbidden to photograph any government property. Do not photograph airports, government buildings, or anything of military or strategic value. Locals, including children, generally don’t like foreigners to take pictures. Generally speaking, do not bring a camera when walking around the town, as this will cause real trouble to the police. In the past, taking pictures in public places required permission from the Ministry of Information and Tourism. Although this requirement has been cancelled, the police may unknowingly or unknowingly impose fines or even arrest people who try to take pictures.
