Francisco Macías Nguema
Francisco Macías Nguema was the first President of Equatorial Guinea, notorious for his brutal dictatorship from 1968 to 1979. His regime was marked by widespread human rights abuses, including the suppression of dissent and severe restrictions on movement, particularly affecting the island of Annobón. Nguema's rule ended when he was overthrown by Teodoro Obiang Nguema, his nephew, who has continued to lead the country with an iron fist.
