  Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, Teodoro - MSN Encarta
Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, born in 1942, president of Equatorial Guinea (1979- ).
His uncle Francisco Macías Nguema was elected Equatorial Guinea's first president in 1968, and Obiang Nguema was appointed military governor of the island of Fernando Póo (currently Bioko).
Obiang Nguema proclaimed an amnesty for refugees overseas and released an estimated 5000 political prisoners, but his close identification with the Macías Nguema regime (even after Macías Nguema's trial and execution) meant that most were still afraid to return home.

 Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, Dictator of the Month- March 2005
Francisco Macías Nguema's regime was extremely repressive and was cited for numerous human rights violations, which were so brutal that reportedly one-third of the country's population left as refugees; this set the stage for unrest and eventually another now-successful coup d'état against him at dawn on 03 August 1979 led by Obiang.
On 18 August Obiang was chosen by a military panel unanimously to serve as the President of the Supreme Military Council and President of the Republic.
Obiang maintains that the plot was orchestrated by the US and the UK, and although it appears that US intelligence agencies did have some knowledge of the plot, there is not much evidence that the US government was directly involved, despite allegations to the contrary.
