Description:
Equatorial Guinea is a small country located on the west coast of Central Africa. Known for its immense wealth in oil and gas reserves, it has emerged as one of the richest nations in Africa. The country consists of a mainland and five islands, namely Bioko, Annobón, Corisco, Elobey Chico, and Elobey Grande. Despite its wealth, Equatorial Guinea faces numerous challenges, including a high poverty rate and a lack of development in infrastructure and basic services. The country's political landscape has been dominated by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who has been in power since 1979. Despite its challenges, Equatorial Guinea boasts a unique blend of cultures, beautiful landscapes, and a rich biodiversity, making it a potential tourist destination.
