Malo agha ghakaŵa pasi pa Spain, ndipo pamanyuma pake ghakazgoka Guinea. Mu 2021, chalo ichi chikaŵa na ŵanthu 1,468,777, ndipo ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 85% mba Fang.

Charu cha Equatorial Guinea chili na vigaŵa viŵiri, chirwa na charu chikuru. Charu ichi chili na virwa vya Bioko (ivyo kale vikachemekanga Fernando Pó) mu nyanja ya Gulf of Guinea na Annobón, chirwa chichoko icho chili na majigha. Chirwa cha Bioko chili kumpoto comene kwa Equatorial Guinea ndipo ndiko kuli msumba ukuru wa charu ichi, Malabo. Chirwa cha São Tomé na Príncipe icho ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya Ciphwitikizi chili pakati pa Bioko na Annobón. 

Chigaŵa cha Río Muni chili kumpoto na charu cha Cameroon, kumwera na kumafumiro gha dazi na charu cha Gabon. Mu tawuni iyi ndimo muli Bata, msumba ukuru comene waciŵiri mu Equatorial Guinea, na Ciudad de la Paz, msumba ukuru wa caru ici. Mu Rio Muni muli virwa vicoko comene nga ni Corisco, Elobey Grande, na Elobey Chico. Charu ichi chili mu wupu wa African Union, Francophonie, OPEC na CPLP.

Pambere charu cha Equatorial Guinea chindafume ku Spain mu 1968, chikaŵa pasi pa muwuso wa Pulezidenti Francisco Macías Nguema. Ŵalongozgi wose ŵaŵiri aŵa ŵakucemeka ŵamazaza ŵankhaza. Kwambira m'ma 1990, Equatorial Guinea njimoza mwa vyaru ivyo vikupanga mafuta ghanandi comene mu Africa kumwera kwa Sahara. Charu ichi chili na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene pa charu chose cha Africa, ndipo chiŵelengero cha ndalama izo ŵanthu ŵakupeleka pa charu chose chili pa nambara 43. Charu ichi chili pa nambala 144 pa 2019 Human Development Index, ndipo ŵanthu ŵambura kukwana hafu ŵali na maji ghawemi ghakumwa ndipo ŵana 7.9% ŵakufwa pambere ŵandafike vyaka vinkhondi.

Charu ichi chili na chiyowoyero cha Cisipanishi pamoza na Cifurenci na Ciphwitikizi.Kweniso ni ciyowoyero ico ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuyowoya (kanandi kuluska viyowoyero vinyake viŵiri vya boma). Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Fang ndiwo mbanandi chomene mu charu ichi, ndipo ŵalipo 85 peresenti. Ŵanthu ŵa Bubi, awo ŵakukhala ku Bioko ndiwo ni gulu laciŵiri likuru comene pa ŵanthu wose pa caru ici.

Boma la Equatorial Guinea ndakuzomerezgeka yayi ndipo lili na wanangwa wa ŵanthu uheni chomene pa charu chose. Wupu wa Reporters Without Borders ukuwona kuti Obiang ni yumoza wa ŵanthu awo "ŵakutinkha" wanangwa wa m'magazini. Kuguliska ŵanthu ni suzgo likuru ku U.S. Lipoti lakukhwaskana na kuguliska ŵanthu likuyowoya za Equatorial Guinea nga ni caru ico ŵanthu ŵakuguliskirako ŵanthu ŵankhongono na kugonana. Lipoti ili likayowoyaso kuti charu cha Equatorial Guinea "chikufiska yayi ivyo vikukhumbikwa kuti ŵanthu ŵaleke kuguliskika, kweni chikuyezgayezga kuti chileke".

## Mbili

Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Pygmy ŵakwenera kuti ŵakakhalanga ku Equatorial Guinea, kweni mazuŵa ghano ŵakusangika mu vigaŵa vya kumwera kwa Río Muni. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Bantu ŵakamba kusama cha m'ma 2000 B.C.E. kufuma ku chigaŵa cha kumwera kwa Nigeria na kumpoto cha Cameroon. Ŵakwenera kuti ŵakakhazikika ku Equatorial Guinea ca m'ma 500 B.C.. Ŵanthu ŵakwambilira kukhazikika pa cirwa ca Bioko ŵakaŵako mu 530. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Annobón awo ŵakukhala ku Angola, Ŵapwitikizi ndiwo ŵakaŵafumiska mu charu ichi.

### Kucezga na ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe (1472-1778)

Munthu wakwamba wa ku Europe kuwona cirwa ca Bioko wakaŵa Fernando Pó, wa ku Portugal, uyo wakaluta ku India mu 1472. Wakacicema kuti Formosa, kung'anamura kuti "Cikutowa", kweni mwaluŵiro cikacemeka na munthu munyake wa ku Europe. Fernando Pó na Annobón ŵakakhalanga mu caru ca Portugal mu 1474. Vipinda vyakwambilira vikapangika pa virwa ivi ca m'ma 1500 apo Ŵapwitikizi ŵakamanya makora kuti virwa ivi vikaŵa na dongo la vimalibwe na malo gha mapiri agho ghakaŵa ghakukhora ku matenda. Nangauli ku Portugal kukaŵa vyandulo vinandi, kweni mu 1507 Ŵapwitikizi ŵakayezgayezga kuti ŵakhazikiske munda wa mkaka pafupi na Concepción pa Fernando Pó. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe ŵakasuzgika comene cifukwa ca vula izo zikalokwa pa cirwa cikuru ici, kweniso cifukwa ca kuthukira comene kwa maji.

### Kuwusa kwa ku Spain kwakwambilira na kulekera Britain (1778-1844)
Mu 1778, Fumukazi Maria I ya ku Portugal na Themba Charles III la ku Spain, ŵakasayina phangano la El Pardo ilo likapeleka Bioko, virwa vichokovichoko, na wanangwa wa malonda ku nyanja ya Biafra pakati pa milonga ya Niger na Ogoue ku Spain. Brigadier Felipe José, Count of Arjelejos wakapoka Bioko ku Portugal pa 21 Okutobala 1778. Mubali uyu wakafwa na nthenda iyo yikamukora pa nyanja ya Bioko. Ŵasilikari aŵa ŵakakhira pa cirwa ca São Tomé, uko ŵakakakika na boma la Portugal pamanyuma pakuti ŵasilikari ŵawo ŵakujumpha 80 peresenti ŵakalwara. Cifukwa ca soka ili, Spain wakakayika usange wangagwiliskira nchito ndalama zinandi pa malo agha. Ndipouli, nangauli ŵakasangana na masuzgo agha, ŵa ku Spain ŵakamba kugwiliskira nchito cirwa ici kuti ŵaguliske ŵazga. Pakati pa 1778 na 1810, chigaŵa icho chikazgoka Equatorial Guinea chikaŵa pasi pa muwuso wa Río de la Plata, uwo ukaŵa ku Buenos Aires.

Pakukana kugwiliskira nchito ndalama zinandi kuti Fernando Pó walutilire kukura, kufuma mu 1827 m'paka 1843, ŵa ku Spain ŵakachita lenti msasa ku Malabo pa Bioko ku United Kingdom. Ŵanandi ŵakakhalanga mu tawuni ya Fernando Pó mu 1827, ndipo mu 1843 ŵakawelera ku Sierra Leone. Cifukwa cakuti ku Spain kukaŵavya ŵazga mu 1817 cifukwa ca kukosera kwa ŵa ku Britain, boma la Spain likawona kuti malo agha ghakaŵa ghambura kuzirwa. Phangano la Spain lakuti liguliske malo ghake ku Britain likamara mu 1841 cifukwa ca ŵanthu ŵa mu msumba uwu kweniso ku ŵanthu ŵa ku Spain.

### M'ma 1800 (1844–1900)

Mu 1844, ŵa ku Britain ŵakawezgera chilumba ichi ku Spain ndipo malo agha ghakachemekanga kuti "Territorios Españoles del Golfo de Guinea". Cifukwa ca nthenda zakwambukira, Spain wakathera ndalama zinandi yayi mu cigaŵa ici, ndipo mu 1862 nthenda ya yellow fever yikakoma ŵazungu ŵanandi awo ŵakakhazikika pa cirwa ici. Nangauli vikaŵa nthena, kweni ŵanthu ŵakalutilira kupanga minda mu hafu yachiŵiri ya vyaka vya m'ma 1800.

Vipambi vya Fernando Pó vikendeskekanga na ŵanthu ŵafipa ŵa mtundu wa Creole, awo pamasinda ŵakachemekanga Fernandinos. Mu nyengo ya muwuso wa Britain, ŵanthu pafupifupi 2,000 ŵa ku Sierra Leone ŵakakhalanga mu charu ichi ndipo ŵakafumiska ŵazga. Ŵazga ŵanandi ŵa ku Angola, ŵa ku Portugal, ŵa ku Africa, na awo ŵakafuma ku Nigeria na Liberia nawo ŵakamba kukhala mu malo agha. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Cuba, ku Philippines, ku Spain, na ku vyaru vinyake ŵakaŵa na ŵanthu ŵa mitundu yakupambanapambana. Ŵanandi mwa ŵanthu aŵa ŵakatolekera ku Africa cifukwa ca milandu ya ndyali panji vinyake.

Kuzakafika mu 1870, ŵanthu ŵazungu awo ŵakakhalanga pa chirwa ichi ŵakamba kuwona makora kuti ŵakukhala mu vigaŵa vya mapiri, ndipo mu 1884 ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakasamira ku Basile. Henry Morton Stanley wakati Fernando Pó wakaŵa "munthu wakuzirwa comene uyo Spain wakaleka kumucindika" cifukwa ca kukana kucita nthena. Nangauli ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe awo ŵakakhalanga pa cirwa ici ŵakaŵa na mwaŵi wa kuponoska, kweni Mary Kingsley, uyo wakakhalanga pa cirwa ici, wakayowoya kuti Fernando Pó wakaŵa "nthowa yakusuzga comene yakukomera" ŵanthu ŵa ku Spain.

Kweniso ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakafuma ku virwa vya ku Portugal, ŵazga awo ŵakachimbira, na awo ŵakakhumbanga kulima minda. Nangauli ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵa ku Fernandino ŵakaŵa Ŵakatolika ndipo ŵakayowoyanga Cisipanishi, kweni pa ŵanthu aŵa, pafupifupi 9 pa 10 ŵakaŵa Ŵaprotesitanti ndipo ŵakayowoyanga Cingelezi pambere Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose yindambe. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Sierra Leone ŵakakhalanga makora pa malo ghakupandamo viŵeto apo ntchito ya kusanga ŵantchito yikalutilira pa nyanja ya Windward Coast, cifukwa ŵakakhalanga na mbumba zawo ndiposo ŵanyawo. Mbumba ya Fernandino yikaŵa yakovwira chomene pakuguliska vinthu pakati pa ŵanthu ŵa ku Spain na ŵa ku Europe. Muzga munyake zina lake William Pratt uyo wakafuma ku West Indies kwizira ku Sierra Leone, wakayamba kulima cacao pa Fernando Pó.

### Kukwambilira kwa vyaka vya m'ma 1900

Spain wakaŵa kuti wandatore malo ghakuru gha mu nyanja ya Biafra agho ghakaŵa ghakwenelera kuyana na phangano, ndipo Ŵafarisi ŵakalutilira kuthereska malo agha. Madrid wakawovwira waka ŵanthu nga ni Manuel Iradier awo ŵakasazgapo phangano lakuti charu cha Gabon na Cameroon vileke kuŵa pasi pa ŵanthu awo ŵakachitanga ntchito iyi. Vinthu vyakuzirwa nga ni nkhondo ya ku Cuba na nkhondo ya ku Spain na America, vikawovwira kuti Madrid yiŵe yakutangwanika. Boma likapeleka wovwiri ucoko comene ku caru ca Spain cifukwa ca maghanoghano gha ŵanthu kweniso cifukwa ca kukhumba ŵantchito pa Fernando Pó.

Paumaliro, phangano la Paris mu 1900, likapangiska kuti charu cha Spain chiŵe na chigaŵa chakuchemeka Rio Muni. Chigaŵa ichi chikaŵa na malo ghakukwana 26,000 km2 pa malo 300,000 agho ghakaŵa kumafumiro gha dazi kwa mlonga wa Ubangi. Malo agha ghakaŵa ghacoko comene pakuyaniska na agho ŵanthu ŵa ku Spain ŵakaghanaghananga kuti ŵangaŵa nagho mwakuyana na ivyo ŵakayowoya na phangano la El Pardo. Kuyuyulika kwa maungano gha ku France na Spain, pamoza na soka la ku Cuba, vikapangiska kuti Pedro Gover y Tovar, mulongozgi wa gulu la ku Spain, wajipaye pa ulendo wa ku nyumba pa Okutobala 21, 1901. Iradier wakafwa mu 1911, ndipo pakajumpha vyaka vinandi pambere ŵanthu ŵa ku Spain ŵandamanye ivyo wakachita.

Mu vyaka vyakwambilira vya m'ma 1900, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Spain ŵakiza ku malo agha. Mu 1904/1905, boma la Spain likapeleka malango ghakwendeskera malo, ndipo ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakamba kulima minda yikuru ŵakizanga kufuma ku Spain. Mu 1914, pakaŵa phangano na charu cha Liberia lakuti ŵagulire ŵantchito ŵambura kukhumba ndalama zinandi. Kweni chifukwa cha viheni ivyo ŵakachita, boma la Liberia likamalizga phangano ili pamasinda pa ivyo vikavumbukwa pa nkhani ya ntchito izo ŵantchito ŵa ku Liberia ŵakachitanga pa Fernando Pó mu lipoti la Christy Report ilo likapangiska kuti pulezidenti wa charu ichi Charles D. B. Kuŵa na umoyo uwemi. Themba mu 1930.
Cinthu cikuru ico cikapangiska kuti vinthu vileke kwenda makora mu caru cikaŵa kusoŵa kwa ŵantchito. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Bubi ŵakakana kugwira nchito pa malo agha cifukwa cakuti ŵakasuzgikanga comene na uloŵevu, matenda gha kugonana, nthomba, na matenda gha mu tulo. Ŵakaŵa na mwaŵi wakuchita vinthu paŵekha.

Kuumaliro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1800, ŵamishonale ŵa ku Spain awo ŵakaŵa na mazaza mu charu ichi ŵakavikilira ŵanthu ŵa ku Bubi ku awo ŵakakhumbanga kuŵapanda. Ŵasambiri ŵa Katolika ŵakamba kusopa chomene mu malo agha mu 1898 na 1910, ndipo ŵakachitanga viwukirano viŵiri. Mu 1917, mbumba ya Bubi yikaleka kuŵa na vilwero ndipo yikakhala na ŵamishonale. Kucepa kwa ŵantchito kukamara cifukwa ca ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakacimbira ku Cameroon, pamoza na ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa ku Germany awo ŵakakhala pa cirwa ici kwa vilimika vinandi.

Pakati pa 1926 na 1959, msumba wa Bioko na Rio Muni ukaŵa pamoza nga ni charu cha Spain. Chuma chawo chikajintha pa malo ghakurughakuru gha khofi na cacao, ndipo ŵanthu awo ŵakagwiranga ntchito mu malo agha ŵakaŵa ŵakufuma ku Liberia, Nigeria, na Cameroon. Pakati pa 1914 na 1930, ŵanthu pafupifupi 10,000 ŵa ku Liberia ŵakaluta ku Fernando Po kuyana na phangano la ntchito ilo likamara mu 1930.

Pakuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Liberia ŵakaŵavya ŵantchito, ŵalimi ŵa mu Fernando Po ŵakaluta ku Rio Muni. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1920, ŵanthu ŵakamba kulimbana na ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Fang. Kuzakafika mu 1926, mu chigaŵa chose ichi mukaŵa ŵasilikari ŵa ŵasilikari ŵa boma, ndipo mu 1929 chigaŵa chose ichi chikaŵa kuti 'chali pa mtende'.
Nkhondo ya ku Spain yikakhwaska chomene malo agha. Ŵazungu 150 ŵa ku Spain, kusazgapo Kazembe Mukuru na Wachiŵiri wa Kazembe Mukuru wa Río Muni, ŵakambiska chipani cha Socialist icho chikachemekanga Popular Front mu chigaŵa ichi. Nkhondo yikati yamba, Francisco Franco wakalangura ŵasilikari ŵa ku Canary Islands kuti ŵakawusire Equatorial Guinea. Mu Seputembala 1936 ŵasilikari ŵa boma la Spain ŵakamba kulamulira chigaŵa cha Río Muni. Kuzakafika mu Novembala, gulu la Popular Front na awo ŵakalikolerana nalo ŵakathereskeka, ndipo Franco wakathereska Equatorial Guinea. Mulongozgi wa ŵasilikari, Juan Fontán Lobé, wakimikika kuŵa Kazembe Mukuru na Franco ndipo wakamba kulamulira makora malo agha.

Mu Rio Muni mukaŵa ŵanthu ŵachoko waka, ŵakajumpha 100,000 mu ma 1930, ndipo cikaŵa cipusu comene kuti ŵanthu ŵacimbire ku Cameroon panji Gabon. Kweniso, makampani ghakuzenga makuni ghakakhumbikwiranga ŵantchito ŵanandi, ndipo para ŵanthu ŵakamba kulima khofi ŵakasanganga nthowa yinyake yakulipira misonkho. Ntheura Fernando Pó wakalutilira kusuzgika na suzgo la ŵantchito. Ŵafarani ŵakazomerezga waka kuti ŵanthu ŵagwirenge nchito mu Cameroon kwa nyengo yicoko waka. Fundo iyi yikapangiska kuti Fernando Pó waŵe chigaŵa cha vyakurya vyakunozga comene mu Africa pamanyuma pa Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya Caru Cose.

### Vyaka vyaumaliro vya muwuso wa Spain (1945-1968)

Mu ndyali, mdauko wa vyaru ivyo vikaŵa pasi pa boma la Spain pamanyuma pa nkhondo ukaŵa na vigaŵa vitatu: m'paka mu 1959, apo ufumu wa Portugal ukakhumba kuti charu ichi chiŵe pasi pa boma la Spain. Pakati pa 1960 na 1968, apo boma la Madrid likayezga kuti malo agha ghaŵe pasi pa boma la Spain. Nyengo yakwamba yikaŵa yakulondezgapo ya ndyali izo zikaŵako kale; ndyali izi zikaŵa zakuyana comene na za ku Portugal na France, comenecomene pakugaŵa ŵanthu mu vigaŵa viŵiri: ciŵelengero cikuru ico cikalongozgekanga na ŵanthu ŵa mu caru ici panji awo ŵakaŵa ŵeneco yayi, na ciŵelengero cicoko comene (pamoza na ŵazungu) awo ŵakazomerezgekanga kuŵa ŵanthu ŵakufwatuka.

Mu nyengo iyi, ŵanthu ŵakamba kutemwa vyaru vyawo, comenecomene ŵanthu ŵachokoŵachoko awo ŵakabisama mu mawoko gha ŵawiskewo mu Cameroon na Gabon. Ŵakapanga magulu ghaŵiri: Movimiento Nacional de Liberación de la Guinea (MONALIGE), na Idea Popular de Guinea Ecuatorial (IPGE). Ŵakaŵa na mazaza ghakukwana yayi pa ŵanthu ŵa mu vyaru ivi, kweni ndimo vikaŵira yayi mu vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Africa. Pakumanya fundo iyi, ŵa ku Spain ŵakamba kulimbikira kunozgekera kuti charu ichi chiŵe na wanangwa wa kusankha. Mu 1965, ndalama izo ŵanthu ŵakaguliskanga zikaŵanga madola 466, agho ghakaŵa ghapacanya comene mu vyaru vya ku Africa. Pa nyengo yeneyiyo pera, ŵakacitapo kanthu kuti ŵamazge nthenda ya kugona na vyoni mu cigaŵa ici, ndipo mu 1967 unandi wa vipatala mu Equatorial Guinea ukaŵa ukuru comene kuluska mu Spain, umo mukaŵa vipatala 167. Ndipouli, vinthu vikenda makora yayi pa nkhani ya masambiro, ndipo nga umo vikaŵira mu Democratic Republic of Congo, paumaliro wa muwuso wa ŵakoloni, ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa awo ŵakasambiranga masambiro ghapacanya ŵakaŵa waka na manambara ghaŵiri.

Pa 9 Ogasiti, 1963, boma la Georgia likapeleka wanangwa ku chigaŵa ichi kweniso likakhozga gulu la ŵanthu ŵakujiyuyura. Ici cikaŵa cakovwira cara, ndipo cifukwa ca kukhuŵara kwa UN, Madrid wakacicizgika kuti wasinthe vinthu. Mu 1965, wupu wa UN ukazomerezga kuti Spain wapokere wanangwa uwu. Mu 1966, wupu unyake wa UN ukendera charu ichi. Pakuzgora, ŵa ku Spain ŵakapharazga kuti pa Okutobala 27, 1967, ŵazamucita ungano wa malango kuti ŵadumbiskane za dango liphya la Equatorial Guinea. Pa ungano uwu pakaŵa ŵalendo 41 ŵa ku malo agha na ŵa ku Spain 25. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa ŵakaŵa ŵakupambana pakati pa Fernandinos na Bubi, awo ŵakawopanga kuti ŵanandi ŵa Ŵafang ŵazamuleka kuŵa na wanangwa wawo, na Río Muni Fang, awo ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵanthu ŵaŵasopenge. Pa ungano uwu, mulongozgi wa gulu la Fang, uyo pamanyuma wakazgoka pulezidenti wakwamba, Francisco Macías Nguema wakayowoya nkhani yakukwesana iyo wakati Adolf Hitler "wakaponoska Africa". Pamanyuma pa maungano ghankhondi na ghatatu, ungano uwu ukamara cifukwa ca suzgo pakati pa "ŵakukolerana" na "ŵakupatukana" awo ŵakakhumbanga Fernando Pó. Macías wakakhumbanga kuluta ku UN kuti ŵanthu ŵamanye makora nkhani iyi, ndipo nkhani zake izo wakayowoya ku New York zikawovwira kuti Spain yisankhe zuŵa lakuti lipokere wanangwa kweniso kuti paŵe maungano gha chigaŵa. Mu Julayi 1968, ŵalongozgi wose ŵa cigaŵa ca Bubi ŵakaluta ku UN ku New York kuti ŵamanyiske ŵanthu vya caru cawo, kweni caru cose cikakhumba yayi kudumbiskana za umo caru cawo cikapambanirana. M'ma 1960, ŵanthu ŵakagomezganga chomene vyamunthazi mu vyaru ivyo kale vikaŵa pasi pa Africa.

### Independence under Macías (1968–1979)

Ŵakapokera wanangwa uwu pa October 12, 1968, mu Malabo. Charu chiphya ichi chikazgoka Republic of Equatorial Guinea (pakaŵa pa Zuŵa la Wanangwa wa Charu ichi). Macías wakazgoka pulezidenti mu caru ici mu nyengo ya maungano ghacoko waka. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Spain (awo ŵakalongozgekanga na Franco) ŵakamovwira Macías pa vipharazgo cifukwa ca kugomezgeka kwake, kweni apo wakaŵa pa kampeni wakalongora kuti wakaŵa wambura kupusa kuluska umo ŵakaghanaghaniranga. Mu upharazgi wake wakaluta ku mizi ya ku Río Muni na kulayizga Fang kuti waŵapenge nyumba na ŵawoli ŵa ŵanthu ŵa ku Spain usange ŵamuvotera. Mu matawuni, wakajiwonanga kuti ni mulongozgi uyo wakaluska ŵa ku Spain pa UN, ndipo wakathereska pa cigaŵa caciŵiri ca mavoti.

Nyengo yichoko waka, masuzgo agho ghakaŵapo chifukwa cha Nkhondo ya ku Nigeria ghakabisama pa chimwemwe icho ŵakaŵa nacho. Mu tawuni ya Fernando Pó mukaŵa ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa mtundu wa Ibo awo ŵakagwiranga ntchito mu charu ichi. Wupu wa International Committee of the Red Cross ukamba kwendeska ndege zakuwovwira ŵanthu ku Equatorial Guinea, kweni Macías wakawopa comene ndipo wakaleka kwendeska ndege izi. Mwaluŵiro ŵakugaluka ŵa ku Biafra ŵakafwa na njara kwambura wovwiri wa ŵamitundu yose.

Pamanyuma pakuti loya wa boma wakadandawura kuti ŵalara ŵa boma "ŵakuchita vinthu mwambura kwenelera na kuŵacitira nkhaza", Macías wakalangura kuti ŵanthu 150 awo ŵakatenge ŵakukhumba kuwukira boma ŵakomeke pa Khisimasi 1969. Macias Nguema wakalutilira kukhozga mazaza ghake mwa kukanizga vyaru vinyake mu Julayi 1970 na kujizgora yekha pulezidenti mu 1972. Wakaleka kukolerana na Spain na vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi. Nangauli wakakananga visambizgo vya Marx, kweni Equatorial Guinea yikaŵa na ubwezi wapadera na vyaru vya Communist, chomenechomene China, Cuba, East Germany na USSR. Macias Nguema wakalemba phangano la malonda na Soviet Union. Ŵasilikari ŵa Soviet ŵakapelekaso ngongoli ku Equatorial Guinea.

Phangano ili likapeleka mwaŵi ku Soviet Union kuti uŵe na pulogiramu yakuzenga misika ya somba kweniso kuti uŵe na msasa wa ŵasilikari ŵa nkhondo ku Luba. Paumaliro, boma la USSR likapeleka somba ku Equatorial Guinea. Kweniso charu cha China na Cuba vikawovwiranga Equatorial Guinea pa nkhani za ndalama, usilikari, na luso. Pa nkhondo ya ku Angola, USSR yikaŵa na mwaŵi wa kuluta ku luŵaza lwa ku Luba na Malabo International Airport.

Mu 1974, wupu wa World Council of Churches ukati ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakomeka kwambira mu 1968. Iwo ŵakati, cigaŵa cacinayi ca ŵanthu wose ŵakacimbilira ku caru cinyake, uku "ŵakayidi ŵakuzura comene ndipo ŵakuŵa nga ni misasa yikuru ya ŵakayidi". Pa ŵanthu 300,000 awo ŵakakhalanga mu msumba uwu, ŵanthu pafupifupi 80,000 ŵakafwa. Padera pa kukomeka kwa ŵanthu ŵa fuko la Bubi, Macias Nguema wakalangura kuti ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakagomezgekanga kuti ŵakususka boma ŵakomeke.

### Obiang (1979–present)

Mwana wa mukuru wa Macías Nguema, Teodoro Obiang wakathereska amalume ŵake pa 3 Ogasiti, 1979, mu boma la ndopa; nkhondo ya mukati mwa chalo yikatora masabata ghaŵiri m'paka Macías Nguema wakatoleka. Wakeruzgika na kukomeka mwaluŵiro, ndipo Obiang ndiyo wakamusankhira kuŵa pulezidenti muwemi.

Mu 1995, kampani yinyake ya ku America yakuchemeka Mobil, yikasanga mafuta mu Equatorial Guinea. Kweni ndalama izo zikufuma ku mafuta gha mu charu ichi zikufika yayi ku ŵanthu, ndipo charu ichi chili pa nambara yichoko chomene pa ndondomeko ya UN. Ŵana 7.9% ŵakufwa pambere ŵandafike vyaka 5, ndipo ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 50% ŵalije maji ghawemi ghakumwa. Pulezidenti Teodoro Obiang wakukayikirika kuti wakugwiliskira nchito cuma ca mafuta ca mu caru ici kuti wasange usambazi na ŵabwezi ŵake. Mu 2006, magazini ya Forbes yikati chuma chake chikaŵa madola 600 miliyoni.

Mu 2011, boma likapharazga kuti likukhumba kuzenga msumba ukuru wa Oyala. Mu 2017, msumba uwu ukachemeka Ciudad de la Paz ("Mzinda wa Mtende").

Pulezidenti wa ku Equatorial Guinea ni Teodoro Obiang. Dango la Equatorial Guinea la mu 1982 likumupa mazaza ghakuru, kusazgapo kwimika na kufumiska mamembara gha boma, kupanga malango na dango, kusisita Nyumba ya Wupu Wakulongozga, kuyowoyeskana na kuzomerezga mapangano na kuteŵetera nga ni mulara wa ŵasilikari. Nduna Nkuru Francisco Pascual Obama Asue wakasankhika na Obiang ndipo wakugwira ntchito mwakuyana na mazaza agho wapurezidenti wali kumupa.

Mu vilimika 40 ivyo wali na mazaza, Obiang wakulekelera yayi ŵanthu ŵakususka. Nangauli charu ichi ntcha demokilase ya vyaru vinandi, kweni ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuwona kuti maungano agha ngautesi. Kuyana na wupu wa Human Rights Watch, boma la President Obiang likagwiliskira nchito mafuta kuti likhozge na kusazgirako usambazi wake. Kwambira mu Ogasiti 1979, ŵanthu 12 ŵayezga kutimbanizga boma.

Kuyana na ivyo BBC yikayowoya mu Malichi 2004, ndyali za mu charu ichi zikaŵa na mphindano pakati pa mwana wa Obiang, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, na ŵabali ŵake ŵanyake awo ŵakaŵa na mazaza mu mawupu ghakuvikilira chalo. Nkharo iyi yikwenera kuti yikupangiska kuti paŵe kusintha kwa mazaza chifukwa cha kusazgikira kwa mafuta kufuma mu 1997.

Mu 2004, ndege iyo yikaŵa na ŵanthu awo ŵakaghanaghananga kuti mbalwani ŵakuguliskika yikakoreka ku Zimbabwe apo ŵakayowoyanga kuti ŵakukhumba kuwuskapo Obiang. Lipoti la mu Novembala 2004 likati Mark Thatcher ndiyo wakawovwira ndalama za boma la Equatorial Guinea mu 2004, ilo likachitika na Simon Mann. Mabuku ghanyake ghakulongosora kuti wupu wa MI6 wa ku United Kingdom, wa CIA wa ku United States, na wa Spain ndiwo ŵakakolerana na ivyo vikachitika. Ndipouli, lipoti la wupu wa Amnesty International ilo likafuma mu Juni 2005 lakukhwaskana na mulandu wa ŵanthu awo ŵakayowoyeka kuti ŵakakhwaskika, likalongora kuti boma likutondeka kupeleka ukaboni wakukhorweska wakuti boma likayezga kutimbanizga boma. Simon Mann wakafumiskika mu jere pa Novembala 3, 2009 cifukwa ca vinthu vyacitemwa.

Kwambira mu 2005, kampani yinyake ya vya usilikari yakucemeka Military Professional Resources Inc., yakufuma ku United States, yikugwira nchito mu Equatorial Guinea kusambizga ŵapolisi milimo yakukhwaskana na wanangwa wa ŵanthu. Mu 2006, Secretary of State wa United States Condoleezza Rice wakamuchema Obiang kuti "mubwezi muwemi" nangauli ŵanthu ŵakamususkanga comene cifukwa ca ivyo wakacita pa nkhani ya wanangwa wa ŵanthu. Wupu wa United States wakuwona vya Vyakusazgirako Vinthu pa Charu Chose ukachita phangano na Obiang, mu Epulero 2006, kuti uŵike thumba la vya umoyo mu charu ichi, ilo likufiska mapulojekiti mu vigaŵa vya umoyo, masambiro, nkhani za ŵanakazi, na vyalo.

Mu 2006, Obiang wakasayina dango lakukanizga nthambuzgo ilo likakanizga mtundu uliwose wa nkhaza na nkharo yiheni mu Equatorial Guinea, ndipo mu 2007 wakalangura kuti ŵakayidi ŵasinthe na kuzenga jele la Black Beach. Ndipouli, ŵanthu ŵakulutilira kuswa wanangwa wawo. Wupu wa Human Rights Watch na wa Amnesty International, pamoza na mawupu ghanyake ghambura kwendera boma, ŵali kulembamo kuti ŵanthu ŵakuswa chomene wanangwa wa ŵanthu mu jele, kusazgapo kutambuzgika, kutambuzgika, kufwa kwambura cifukwa ndiposo kukakika kwambura dango.

Mu kafukufuku wawo waumaliro (2020), Transparency International yikapa Equatorial Guinea ma score 16 pa CPI (Corruption Perceptions Index).

Freedom House, wupu wakuvikilira wanangwa wa ŵanthu na wanangwa wa ŵanthu, ukati Obiang njumoza wa "ŵakaronga ŵankhongono chomene pa charu chose", ndipo wakadandawura kuti boma la United States likupokelera boma lake na kugura mafuta kwa ilo.

Obiang wakasankhikaso kuti wateŵetere nyengo yinyakeso mu 2009 mu mavoti agho wupu wa African Union ukawona kuti "ghakukolerana na malango gha mavoti". Obiang wakasankhaso Nduna Nkuru Ignacio Milam Tang mu 2010.

Mu Novembala 2011, ŵakazomerezga dango liphya. Ŵanthu ŵakavota pa fundo iyi nangauli ŵakamanya yayi umo yikalembekera. Kuyana na dango liphya la boma, pulezidenti wakeneranga kuŵa na vyaka 7 pa nyengo yiŵiri. Dango liphya likayowoyangaso kuti paŵe wachiŵiri kwa pulezidenti ndipo likati paŵe ŵanthu 70 mu wupu wa Senate. Cakuzizika nchakuti, pa kusintha kwa nduna za boma, ŵakapharazga kuti paŵenge ŵaŵiri awo ŵazamuteŵetera nga mbapharazgi.

Mu Okutobala 2012, pa nyengo ya kuyankhulana na Christiane Amanpour pa CNN, Obiang wakafumbika usange wafumengepo pa umaliro wa nyengo ya sono (2009~2016) pakuti dango liphya likukanizga unandi wa nyengo ku viŵiri ndipo wasankhika kanayi. Obiang wakazgora kuti wakana kufumapo chifukwa dango liphya ili likugwira ntchito yayi ndipo nyengo ya ma mandamu ghaŵiri yikwamba kugwira ntchito mu 2016.

Pa May 26, 2013, ŵakachita mavoti gha mu nyumba ya mafumu, nyumba ya mafumu, na nyumba ya ŵalara ŵa boma. Nga umo vikaŵira na mavoti ghose ghakale, mavoti agha ghakaŵa ghakukanizgika na ŵakususka ndipo nawo ŵakathereskeka na chipani cha Obiang. Pa nyengo ya visankho, chipani icho chili na mazaza chikachitiska mavoti gha mukati mwa boma agho pamasinda ghakalekeka cifukwa palije yumoza wa ŵanthu awo ŵakaŵa ŵakutemweka na pulezidenti uyo wakalongozganga pa mavoti gha mukati. Paumaliro, chipani icho chili na mazaza na ŵabwezi ŵa boma ŵakaghanaghana kuti ŵacitepo kanthu cifukwa ca ŵanthu yayi kweni cifukwa ca cipani. Ivi vikapangiska kuti pa nyengo ya maungano gha chipani icho chili na mazaza gha kuwusa chileke kupeleka mazina gha ŵanthu awo ŵakukhumba kuŵa ŵalongozgi.

Chisankho cha mwezi wa Mailo chaka cha 2013 chikaŵa na viphikiro vinandi, kusazgapo chiphokwero cha ŵanthu awo ŵakakolerana na chipani cha MPP (Movement of Popular Protest).

Ndipouli, nangauli wakayowoya mwakuchichizgika ndiposo na vimanyikwiro vyakuti ŵakamuyuzga, Nsolo wakati ŵakanozga vyakususka mwamtendere ndipo ŵakasanga vizomerezgo vyose vyakukhumbikwa kuti ŵachitire nthena. Kweniso wakayowoya kuti wali ku chigaŵa cha chipani chilichose yayi. Malo gha Plaza de la Mujer mu Malabo ghakaŵa na ŵapolisi kwambira pa Meyi 13 ndipo kufuma nyengo iyo ŵakughakora chomene. Boma la Equatorial Guinea likambiska ndondomeko ya censorship iyo yikatimbanizga mawebusayiti gha Facebook na mawebusayiti ghanyake agho ghakususka boma.

## Ŵanthu

Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Equatorial Guinea mba fuko la Bantu. Mtundu ukuru chomene wa ŵanthu awo ŵakukhala mu chigaŵa ichi ni Ŵafang, kweni ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakasamira ku chirwa cha Bioko kwambira m'ma 1900, ŵakukhala mu chigaŵa ichi. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Fang ŵalipo 80 peresenti ndipo ŵali na mafuko pafupifupi 67. Ŵanthu awo ŵakukhala kumpoto kwa Río Muni ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero cha Fang-Ntumu, ndipo awo ŵakukhala kumwera ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero cha Fang-Okah. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero ichi mu vigaŵa vinyake vya charu cha Cameroon na Gabon. Nangauli viyowoyero ivi vikupulikikwa makora, kweni vikupambana chomene. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Bubi, awo ŵalipo 15 pa 100 pa caru cose, ndiwo ŵakukhala pa cirwa ca Bioko. Mzere wakupatula pakati pa ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Fang na ŵa mtundu wa "Beach" (m'nthaka) ukaŵa muzi wa Niefang (m'paka wa Fang), kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Bata.

Mtundu wa ŵanthu awo ŵakukhala mumphepete mwa nyanja, awo nyengo zinyake ŵakuchemeka Ndowe panji "Playeros" (Ŵanthu ŵa pa Mlonga wa Nyanja mu Cisipanishi): Combes, Bujebas, Balengues, na Bengas awo ŵakukhala mu virwa vikuruvikuru na vichokovichoko, na Fernandinos, ŵa mtundu wa Krio awo ŵakukhala pa chirwa cha Bioko, wose pamoza ŵakukwana 5 peresenti ya ŵanthu. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe (ŵanandi ŵakaŵa ŵa ku Spain panji Portugal, ŵanyake ŵakaŵa ŵa ku Africa) nawo ŵakakhalanga mu charu ichi.

Ŵalendo ŵanandi ŵakufuma ku vyaru vyapafupi nga ni Cameroon, Nigeria, na Gabon ŵiza mu caru ici. Kuyana na buku la Encyclopedia of the Stateless Nations (2002), ŵanthu 7% ŵa pa chirwa cha Bioko ŵakaŵa ŵa mtundu wa Igbo. Mu Equatorial Guinea mukaŵa ŵanthu ŵa ku Asia na ŵa ku Africa awo ŵakagwiranga nchito mu minda ya koko na kofi. Ŵafrika ŵanyake ŵafipa ŵakafuma ku Liberia, Angola, na Mozambique. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Asia mba ku China, kweni ku India kuli ŵanthu ŵachoko waka.

Ku Equatorial Guinea nako ŵanthu ŵakufuma ku Britain, France, na Germany ŵakuluta ku caru ici. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Israel na Morocco nawo ŵakukhala na kugwira nchito kuno. Kufumiska mafuta kufuma mu ma 1990 kwakawovwira kuti ŵanthu ŵa Malabo ŵaŵe ŵanandi chomene. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Equatorial Guinea ŵakati ŵafumako ku Spain. Ŵanthu ŵanyake 100,000 ŵa ku Equatorial Guinea ŵakaluta ku Cameroon, Gabon, na Nigeria cifukwa ca muwuso wa ucigeŵenga wa Francisco Macías Nguema.

### Languages

Kufuma waka apo charu cha Equatorial Guinea chikapokera wanangwa mu 1968, chiyowoyero chikuru cha ku Equatorial Guinea ni Chisipanishi. Mu 1970, mu nyengo ya muwuso wa Macías, Cisipanishi cikasinthika na ciyowoyero ca Fang, ico cikayowoyeka na ŵanthu ŵanandi. Kweni mu 1979, Macías wakati waleka kuwusa, ŵakamulekeska. Cisipanishi cikaŵa ciyowoyero cimoza pera mpaka mu 1998, apo Cifurenci cikasazgikaso, cifukwa pakwamba cikaŵa ciyowoyero ca ku Central Africa (CEMAC). Chiphwitikizi ndicho chikaŵa chiyowoyero chachitatu mu charu ichi mu 2010. Chisipanishi ndicho ntchiyowoyero cha boma kwambira mu 1844. Likuyowoyeka pa sukulu na mu maofesi gha boma. Ŵanthu 67.6% ŵa ku Equatorial Guinea ŵakuyowoya chiyowoyero ichi, comenecomene awo ŵakukhala mu Malabo, msumba ukuru wa charu ici. Cifurenci cikaŵa cipharazgo ca boma cifukwa cakuti cikaŵa cigaŵa ca caru ca France, ndipo cikayowoyeka pa malo ghanyake yayi, kweni mu matawuni ghapafupi.

Viyowoyero vya ŵanthu ŵakwambilira vikumanyikwa kuti ni vigaŵa vyakuzirwa vya "vikaya vyawo". 1/1998 (Janyuwale 21). Viyowoyero vya ŵanthu ŵa ku malo agha ni Fang, Bube, Benga, Ndowe, Balengue, Bujeba, Bissio, Gumu, Igbo, Pichinglis, Fa d'Ambô na Baseke. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa mu Africa ŵakuyowoya viyowoyero vya Bantu.

Chiyowoyero cha Chiphwitikizi cha Fa d'Ambô chikuyowoyeka chomene mu chigaŵa cha Annobón, Malabo (likulu la charu ichi), kweniso mu vigaŵa vinyake vya Equatorial Guinea. Ŵanandi awo ŵakukhala mu Bioko ŵakuyowoya Cisipanishi, comenecomene mu msumba wa Bioko. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ku Annobón ŵakuyowoya Cisipanishi yayi. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakutemwa kuyowoya Cisipanishi. Ŵanthu ŵa Katolika ŵakutemwa kuyowoya Ciphwitikizi. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Annobonese ŵakayezga kuti ŵaŵe mu wupu wa CPLP. Boma likapeleka ndalama zakwendeskera kafukufuku wa Instituto Internacional da Língua Portuguesa (IILP) mu Annobón. Buku ili likulongora kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku São Tomé na Príncipe, Cape Verde, na Guinea-Bissau ŵakayowoyanga Chiphwitikizi.

Chifukwa cha kukolerana na ŵanthu ŵa ku Equatorial Guinea, mu 2010 boma likasintha ndime 4 ya Dango la Equatorial Guinea. Boma ili likakhumbanga kuti liŵe na mawupu ghakwendakwenda, malonda, na vyaru vinyake ivyo vikuyowoya Ciphwitikizi. Kweniso likuzomerezga kuti pali kukolerana pakati pa charu cha Portugal na ŵanthu ŵa ku Brazil, São Tomé na Príncipe, na Cape Verde awo ŵakuyowoya Ciphwitikizi.

Vinyake ivyo vikapangiska kuti Equatorial Guinea yiŵe mu wupu wa CPLP ni umo yingachitira na mapulogiramu gha visambizgo na kusinthana na ŵanthu ŵa ku vyaru vinyake. Kuti munthu waŵe na CPLP wakwenera kusambira Ciphwitikizi. Kweniso, caru ici cikaphalirika kuti cikwenera kusintha vinthu vya ndyali kuti ŵanthu ŵacitenge vinthu mwaurunji ndiposo mwamahara. Nyumba ya malango yikadumbiskana za dango ili mu Okutobala 2011.
