About Equatorial Guinea

It is country with almost $20k of income per person. Richest country on the continent beside Seychelles.

It is abnormality. In terms of accountability it is below Zimbabwe. Most corrupt country in Africa, besides Somalia. It has worse track record of human rights abuses than Libya, Sudan, Zimbabwe (and almost every country on earth). It has one of the worst gender disparities on the continent. It has one of the worst opportunities for private sector. It has awful environmental abuses. It has one of worst healthcare in Africa.

This is perverse country.It is very rich, but only 40% of population has access to safe drinking water. There is no another such place.

If you care about facts tell me how do you feel about that:

1) Equatorial Guinea doesn't receive economic aid,

2) Do you understand that cheap, healthcare intervention can make remarkable difference? We are talking about cutting down 2/3 of child deaths in 4 years.

Promoting economic growth in Equatorial Guinea may be misguided, but you want to left children to death, because their government is irresponsible. In the name of what?
