“Mr. President Javier Milei: We need to know What is being negotiated with the Obiang dictatorship in Equatorial Guinea And finally will condemn the Annobonous genocide in pursuit of our people’s freedom“, expressed the authorities of the territory of 17 square kilometers that asked to be part of Argentina.
For its part, the regime shared the photos of the meeting with the Argentine diplomat as part of its dispute with the separatist island. Equatorial Guinea is a dictatorial regime under the iron hand of the dictator Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo that He governs since 1979 and is the longest autocrat in the world.
In this way, Argentina was involved in the tension between the two territories. Annobón denounces persecution, violation of human rights and torture years ago.
The UN denounces that Annobón island also suffers Insulation conditions, militarization, structural famine, sexual abuse of minors and attempt to clean the Embô ethnicity.
The territory is part of Equatorial Guinea by decision of the Spanish dictator, Francisco Franco in 1968. However, organisms such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, reporters without borders, United Nations and Human Rights Foundation warn that there is a geographical prison and a state horror laboratory.
Annobón asked Argentina for “help”
While carrying out the historic fight against the Equatorial Guinea regime, last week the Annobonic Prime Minister, Orlando Cartagena Lagar, traveled to Argentina to ask for “help.”
“We were part of the same territory. Today we asked Argentina, our brother country,” said the diplomat from Buenos Aires.
In that same intervention he denounced repression from the Equatorial Guinea regime and cried out for urgent humanitarian aid. According to Lagar, Annobón was part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata before being torn by the Spanish crown in the 18th century.
In 2022, the small territory proclaimed its independence, although it still lacks international recognition. The island has Fisheries, mineral resources and a location on a key maritime route.
Their situation is desperate: they do not have drinking water, electricity or medical attention, while its inhabitants live isolated and under constant abuses.
“They are killing us slowly,” Lagar denounced. For now, without official government words, the issue has already entered the Congress.
