Resumen
Quite famous for still being the world’s longest-serving president and despite another unsurprising electoral victory in November, with 94.9% of the votes, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has unofficially but firmly been handing over the reins to his successor and son, the vice-president Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, popularly known as Teodorín. Rumours about the president’s ill health were unfounded, but nevertheless, Teodorín’s energetic Twitter and Instagram accounts showed who was acting as the current centre of state affairs, with constant interventions directing domestic and partly also foreign policy. A stream of high-profile US officials visiting the country was related to the apparent Chinese scheme to construct its first Atlantic naval base in the port of Bata. Buoyed by rising LNG production and its international price, the economy, entirely dependent on the offshore export of oil and gas, was projected to exit a seven-year-long recession, but a large incident at ExxonMobil’s famed Zafiro oilfield led to a continuation of the contraction.
