The Wonga coup: guns, thugs, and a ruthless determination to create mayhem in an oil-rich corner of Africa
Equatorial Guinea is a tiny African country. Humid, jungle-covered, and rife with disease, even some of its own people call it Devil Island.

| Summary: | Equatorial Guinea is a tiny African country. Humid, jungle-covered, and rife with disease, even some of its own people call it Devil Island. Its president in 2004, Obiang Nguema, had been accused of cannibalism, mass murder, billion-dollar corruption, and general rule by terror. Why, in March 2004, was Equatorial Guinea the target of a group of British, South African and Zimbabwean mercenaries, traveling on an American-registered ex-National Guard military plane, that was flown to Africa by American pilots? The real motive lay deep below the ocean floor: oil. In The Dogs of War, novelist Frederick Forsyth had described an attempt by mercenaries to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea--in 1972. The chain of events surrounding the night of March 7, 2004, is a rare case of life imitating art--or, at least, life imitating a 1970s thriller--in almost uncanny detail, in a tale of venality, vanity and greed.--From publisher description. |

Kt. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Equatorial Guinea is a tiny African country. Humid, jungle-covered, and rife with disease, even some of its own people call it Devil Island. Its president in 2004, Obiang Nguema, had been accused of cannibalism, mass murder, billion-dollar corruption, and general rule by terror. Why, in March 2004, was Equatorial Guinea the target of a group of British, South African and Zimbabwean mercenaries, traveling on an American-registered ex-National Guard military plane, that was flown to Africa by American pilots? The real motive lay deep below the ocean floor: oil. In The Dogs of War, novelist Frederick Forsyth had described an attempt by mercenaries to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea--in 1972. The chain of events surrounding the night of March 7, 2004, is a rare case of life imitating art--or, at least, life imitating a 1970s thriller--in almost uncanny detail, in a tale of venality, vanity and greed.--From publisher description.
