Equitorial Guinea’s Ruler Names Wanted Son as Vice President

NEW YORK, NY – SEPTEMBER 26: Equatoguinean President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo addresses the 68th United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters on September 26, 2013 in New York City. 

Equatorial Guinea’s ruler, Teodoro Obiang Nguema, who seized power in a military coup in 1979, on Wednesday named his son Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mangue Vice President in charge of defence and security.

The president who was reelected in April with 93.7% of the votes promoted his 47-year old son to the position of vice president of the tiny oil-rich nation, by a presidential decree broadcast on state television.

Teodorin who, until his promotion was the second vice president, is wanted in France on suspicion of embezzlement, corruption and stealing public funds.
