This is the story of a tyrant, possibly the worst in the world. He’s vicious, he’s venal and he’s robbing his country blind. His country is the African hell hole called Equatorial Guinea. And no one would have even heard or cared about it – if they hadn’t discovered vast oil deposits just off shore. So much oil, in fact, that at the rate this tiny country is growing, in 10 years it could be the richest in the world. Trouble is, most of the oil money’s being pumped directly into the president’s pocket. He’s living like a king, while his people starve.
