This is an incredible BBC HardTalk interview with Equatoguinean President Obiang. Choice quotes include “Our country doesn’t know poverty,” though there is, Obiang claims, a “kind of psychological poverty” in the country. Obiang also argues that his family is not involved in oil resource management.

I trust you have the “hard evidence” to prove that the man’s family is involved in oil resource management. Do lead us to the evidence please.
Guessed as much on the “HARD EVIDENCE”. And they say they’re getting Phd. More like primary school thinking to me.
