@TutuAlicante, Executive Director of @EGJustice, has not been to Equatorial Guinea for twenty years due to his human rights and anti-corruption activism. In @TheHill, he describes how western demand drives deforestation and inequality in his home country: https://t.co/EmbnZ13hQV

[CIVICUS @CIVICUSalliance]

Lawyer and human rights defender, Anacleto Micha Ndong Nlang, has endured over 100 days of unlawful detention in 🇬🇶#EquatorialGuinea.
His current whereabouts are unknown as we're hearing disturbing reports that his family and lawyers have been unable to access him since March.

The top ten most corrupt countries, according to the @anticorruption index, are also among the world's most brutal, long-ruling dictatorships.

5 of the bottom 10 are in Africa:

Somalia
South Sudan
Libya
Equatorial Guinea
Burundi

Comoros, Chad and DR Congo aren't far behind.

[Tutu Alicante @TutuAlicante]

One more reason why we @EGJustice work for human rights, rule of law, good governance in #EquatorialGuinea: Ensuring that these amazing creatures always have a safe home in our country for generations to come...

As @TutuAlicante of @EGJustice told @ForeignPolicy: “[President] Obiang has realized he can use this China card and get the U.S. to look the other way in the face of stolen elections, completely nonexistent rule of law, and corruption that is rampant.”

[Jeffrey Smith @Smith_JeffreyT]

US travel bans are mandatory when the State Department has credible info on corruption or human rights abuses. Both categories apply to Obiang. He should not be attending next week's US-Africa Leaders Summit. My thoughts with @TutuAlicante:

https://t.co/GhRV7xJ1oX @ForeignPolicy

[Human Rights First @humanrights1st]

@TutuAlicante (@EGJustice): #Kleptocracy goes beyond good governance. It is a serious matter of national security. The US and the West have not addressed authoritarian kleptocracy in EG -- they have been negligent in the subversion of democratic values.

Nice to see my piece with @TutuAlicante on Equatorial Guinea's sham election featured in @ForeignPolicy's Africa Brief.

In short: the country is ruled by the world's longest-tenured dictator who uses access to oil and threats of Chinese muscle to hold the US Government hostage.

[EG Justice @EGJustice]

“Since Obiang’s surprise announcement—which moved the country’s elections up by one year—more than 100 individuals, including lawyers, judges, and civil society and political opposition activists, have been arbitrarily detained”. https://t.co/6LIxHPoOLh

[Jeffrey Smith @Smith_JeffreyT]

Nice to see my article with @TutuAlicante on Equatorial Guinea gaining traction. The Ukraine/Russia conflict and China are important topics, but the world is much bigger than that. Let's not forget: attention on little-known issues can have outsize impact.
