The West African oil-producing country with 1.4 million inhabitants is no stranger to political violence. Campaign groups have accused the government of torture, arbitrary detention, and show trials during Obiang`s 43 years in power. The member rejected the offer. Be that as it may, I could not help but wonder about such undertakings after my unusual insight into the world of free parliament. British politicians returned home after a strange journey, for which they were poorly prepared, asked questions without penetration, sometimes dated their hosts, and never left their specially constructed bubble. But to pay tribute to them, they ventured into the unknown and ultimately refused to give in and whitewash the regime as planned. As a citizen of the Community, I agree with you that the country is strange indeed! However, there is one point missing from your speech: the human factor! When you traveled to E.G., did you even interact with the locals? Did you have any idea about history, different cultures and traditions, gastronomy and languages? They are so privileged to be able to spend such a fortune on luxury hotels in E.G., golf and others. But you also had a good ecotourism experience that you obviously don`t write about. Yet you talk about corruption in a very Hollywood way, I would say!, because you know that this style will certainly produce an audience. I don`t think a travel article can be “so revealing” if it`s so biased and focused on a single topic. Considering that the Internet is the “new medium” and that anything you publish can have a huge impact on people around the world, I would have appreciated a little effort to show your elaborate article more balanced. Americans of all ages contribute to the negative impact of tourism around the world. Please publicize, educate yourself, visit the countries that attract you, regardless of individual opinions or blog writers, form your own opinion about the world around you and try to be “individuals” and not be part of a banal “crowd”.
And yes, “hablamos español” is one of the most unique aspects of our country on the African continent. And yes, there are many good people in this country, as there are in Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Thailand, Vietnam or Egypt. Please stop stereotyping countries! I bet there are millions of good people in America, despite Trump, the far right, crude capitalism with little to no protections for American citizens (Social Security, bad labor regulations, and your pro-gun laws that no one but you understand!). I still believe that the United States of America is worth seeing! (Actually, I`ve been there several times). Learning for all: Corruption is closely linked to the economic and political powers of all countries. Otherwise, corruption would never be possible. I want the Americans to come, and I invite them to come. We are good people, it is a beautiful country: a biodiversity hotspot (only 35 regions in the world have such an honor). Please Lee Abbamonte, someone suggested you correct your mistake on Oyala (on the mainland) and Malabo II (Bioko Island). I insist on that.
PEACE. From banning the import of fruit, mineral juices to allowing your newborn to name “Monica,” here are some of the strangest laws in African countries: If you remember, a few years ago, one of the president`s sons, and there are about 20 children and several women, tried to buy a $400 million yacht from a company in Germany. The news came out and the question was raised as to why and how a person earning $6,000 a month in a government job could afford such a thing. This was never determined, shocking. But laws in Equatorial Guinea and any country can often replace international law, and the president and his family still escape prosecution. What for? Oil, of course. However, some countries are adopting laws that are considered absurd and whose intentions remain unclear. In some cases, these laws are dictatorial and show how much control governments exert over these countries. Hello. I just want to say a few things, I`m going to use Google Translator, so please excuse my English.
Before starting, I want to thank the liberation and visit my country, it hurts what is happening there, but it is a country that is in my soul, I love it, that`s why I like to be deep in things. It is true that the political system is not like that of the United States, France or Finland. I am a citizen of this country and, of course, I am not proud of many things, yes, but I think we need to give things some time. EG is 49 years old and gained independence only 49 years ago without a single university graduate, that is, if we want to become analysts to understand what is going on, but this is not the case. I think I say it all, it`s a unique fact about EC that people usually overlook for me, it`s very relevant, there`s been a lot of effort so that you can do something simple like go to the hotel, and I think they spoke to you in your language, right? because in Guinea, it is customary for the natives to make an effort to speak the language of the visitor in order to make their lives easier. Things are not as simple as they seem, as they say, if you judge my memory, I will lend you my shoes. But the EC is not just politics. With regard to the United States` contribution to the EC, I would like to make this clear because it is very important. Yes, we know the glory of U.S. foreign policy on oil, but sincere Equatorial Guineans who know history don`t see it that way.
It is true that there are many interests and distributions that are very, very, very unequal in the advantages in favour of the oil companies, but there is something that explains why I will not mention here. I will only say that the United States has been present in Guinea since 1987 and that the first crude oil operations were carried out in 1996. They trusted our country when no one else did, they invested their money, even though the risk was very high. For this reason, US citizens do not need a visa to travel to the EC for stays of less than 90 days.
