Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is a small country located on the west coast of Central Africa. It is bordered by Cameroon to the north and Gabon to the south and east, with the Gulf of Guinea to the west. The country is known for its rich cultural diversity, with a population that includes several ethnic groups such as the Fang, Bubi, and Combe.

Equatorial Guinea has a tropical climate with a rainy season from May to October and a dry season from November to April. The country’s economy is largely dependent on oil production, which has fueled rapid economic growth in recent years. However, poverty and income inequality remain significant challenges for many Equatorial Guineans.

The country has a complex political history, with decades of authoritarian rule under President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, who has been in power since 1979. Human rights abuses and corruption have been widely reported in Equatorial Guinea, leading to criticism from international human rights organizations.

Despite these challenges, Equatorial Guinea has made some progress in recent years in terms of infrastructure development and improving access to education and healthcare. The country is also known for its rich biodiversity, with a variety of unique plant and animal species found in its lush rainforests and coastal areas.
