I ended up finding another wikileak on Equatorial Guinea and I thought it would be interesting to talk about because they mentioned the name Severo Moto in just one sentence in the first wikileak I wrote about and I didn’t know he was very important until reading this. This wikileak was created about 2 months before the wikileak about the elections was created. It talks about how Equatorial Guinea President Obiang has demanded that Spain extradite Severo Moto, who currently lives in Madrid, since he’s accused of creating an alleged coup against Obiang. Severo Moto is the presidential opposition for Obiang. So far Spain has not turned over Moto, especially considering he probably would not have a fair trial in Equatorial Guinea. There has also been rumors that a coup was never staged and this is Obiang’s attempt to get rid of Severo Moto and discredit the opposition. The document goes on to talk about the general unrest in Equatorial Guinea with many members of even Obiang’s inner circle dying in mysterious ways. Also the territorial dispute Equatorial Guinea has with Gabon, which affects oil concessions, has added more unrest.
