This African Nation Wants To Erect Trump-like Wall by Mandyoluchi(m): 3:55pm On Aug 14, 2019
A tiny African nation, equatorial guinea wants to erect a Trump-like wall along her border with Cameroon. Equatorial guinea is regarded as the wealthiest African country owing to the discovery of oil in large quantities in the late 90s.
The reason given for such audacious venture is that Cameroon does not checkmate the influx of migrants from countries such as Nigeria. Cameroon is seen angered by such impetuous move.

With a population of less than two million, Equatorial guinea does not want unrestricted influx of migrants who'd come to compete with the locals for scarce job opportunities

On paper Equatorial Guinea could be seen as a booming country because of its abundant petroleum resources and huge investments in infrastructure development, thus attracting economic migrants. However, in terms of development indices, it is not much better than Cameroon or other African countries because of political corruption and the high-handedness of the Obiang family which has ruled the country since independence in 1968. It is ranked 141st out of 189 countries in the UN Human Development Index of 2018.

President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, Africa’s longest serving ruler, has been in power since August 1979 after ousting his uncle Francisco Macías Nguema in a coup. Over his 40-year rule, he and has family have been accused of mismanaging the country’s wealth while also scoring low on both human rights and press freedom rankings.

President Obiang Nguema as well as his son and likely successor, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, who is vice president, have both been mired in allegations of corruption and misappropriated public funds.

In 2017, a French court slammed Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue a three-year suspended sentence after finding him guilty of embezzling $175 million of public funds to buy real estate, luxury cars and other assets. The playboy son of president Obiang Nguema has also been under investigation by Swiss authorities for financial crimes.

Always the same regardless of the country.
