E.U frets over Equatorial Guinea crisis
The European Union displeased over the political, human rights and security situation in Equatorial Guinea.
Equatorial Guinea is a current member of the United Nation Security Council. European Union mandated them to take all necessary steps to fulfill its international obligations. Also as regards human rights and fundamental freedoms.
The death of Mr. Ebee Ela, a member of the opposition party, under police custody is against the human right constitution. E.U said his death should be investigated and clarified.
E.U stressed the need for peace in Malabo the capital of Equatorial Guinea which was as a result of the failed government overthrow.
President Obiang Nguema, in a statement in January 2017 said Ebee Ela, a sickler at the time died. Also added that he would order a probe into the incident.
To this day, over 130 people of the opposition party are arbitrarily in detention.
But in his interview with the French channels, Nguema – Africa’s longest serving leader, stressed that there were not as many detainees in jails as widely reported in the media. He recently dissolved the cabinet by a decree but has reappointed the last Prime Minister to form a new government.
