Nguema is a long-standing friend of the deposed Mugabe. Their relationship became stronger following Zimbabwe’s interception of a plane that was heading to Equatorial Guinea where a group led by a former British army officer Simon Mann was arrested after making a stop over in Harare.

Mugabe and Nguema are synonymous with iron fist rule, characterised by disregard for freedom of expression, assembly and association as well as human rights abuses, which include torture and abductions of opposition party members.

Nguema has been the leader of Equatorial Guinea since 1979 having seized power in a military coup against his uncle.
