Equatorial Guinea is one of the most puzzling countries in the
world, with everything from coups involving Margaret Thatcher's
son, to firing squads in Santa outfits operating in the country.
However, far more worrying than that is the economic cliff the
country seems to be barreling toward, with the industry, worth 90%
of their income, announcing their departure from the country in
2026. Will Equatorial Guinea be able to steer the country away from
the cliff? Will the Instagram star VP successfully transition into
his father's role? And why is this country the strangest one we
have ever covered? We ask our panel of experts.
On the panel this week:
- Perri Grace (Geopolitical Analyst)
- Max Lawson (Oxfam)
- Florent Geel (Fmr FIDH Dir. Africa)
- Emilia Columbo (CSIS)
