"This idea that there has been a climate of intimidation doesn't correspond to concrete reality."
The Republic of Equatorial Guinea (La República de Guinea Ecuatorial) is in west central Africa at latitude 2º north and longitude 10º east. The country's territory comprises the coastal enclave of Rio Muni, situated between the southwest corner of Cameroon and the northwest corner of Gabon; the island of Bioko, off the coast of Cameroon; and Annobon and Corisco in Corisco Bay. The total land area is 28,050 sq km (10,831 sq mi). The capital of Equatorial Guinea is Malabo on the island of Bioko. Bata is the principal city of Rio Muni. The country contains seven provinces: Pagalu, Bioko Norte, Bioko Sur, Centro Sur, Kie-Ntem, Litoral, and Wele-Nzas. Bioko and the smaller islands are of volcanic origin. In Rio Muni, a coastal plain rises to thickly forested hills in the interior. The climate is very hot and humid year-round.
Eighty percent of the country's population belongs to the Fang tribe. The Bubi account for about 15% of the population. A half dozen other ethnic groups, each speaking its own language, make up the remaining 5% of the population.
