Politicians From Equatorial Guinea

"There is still the ongoing process of political liberation of African countries"

"I do not have any (inferiority) complex in front of any white man"

"That’s the truth, just as you have said the truth, it is racist"

"I think it is careless, a head of state of a powerful country like America cannot talk like that because the world is not for him. He must respect all races of the world"

"We do not forget that the Soviet Union and its member countries played a great role in liberating the African continent from colonial dependence and continue to do so contributing to the liberation from neocolonial dependence"

"We continue to remain victims of neocolonialism"

"If extreme poverty still exists on the African continent, it means that imperial neocolonial forces continue exploiting our countries, taking natural resources from us and sucking everything that could invigorate us out of us"

"We hope to develop a variety of industries through these resources and we invite investors from across the globe to consider the exciting possibilities with us"

"The instability Africa is suffering is due to the egoism of each country"

"We forget that we are Africans. Things are not moving in the right direction for our countries and it is not that Africa is not self sufficient but Africans look at ourselves as people who cannot develop ourselves yet we have many resources"

"Africans think all civilisation lies in the Western world"

"Oil can be linked to honey. Honey attracts many bees but some of those bees are the bad ones."

"Those who do criticize us are basing their judgment on outdated information"

"First of all, Western democratic nations cannot understand circumstances where someone stays in power for a long time. But in Africa, there exists what we call a person's charisma"

"I can never present myself as God. I am a human being, a very modest one"

"There is no persecution whatsoever of political leaders except for those who are actually involved in attempted coups to assassinate the president or to create the kind of problem that might upset constitutional bodies, because we believe in justice, which is impartial"

"I admire leaders who have stood out in the world and who have worked for world development"
