- Francisco Macias Nguema from the Equatorial Guinea is one of the worst and most brutal dictators any African nation has ever been forced to endure. He makes Idi Amin and Jean-Bedel Bokassa look like amateurs when it comes to brutality and the destruction of economies.
Macias Nguema was the first president of independent Equatorial Guinea, a country that was a Spanish Colony. Under Macías Nguema's dictatorship forced tens of thousands of citizens to flee in fear of persecution and to protect their personal safety.
About one-third of the population was either exiled or murdered by his government. He only left office after he was deposed by his Nephew, Teodoro Nguema Mbasong, in 1979.

This man isn't talked about enough.
Persoanlly, what I find to be the craziest part of Macias's story is that his children were raised in North Korea by Kim Il Sung. According to Wikipedia, Kim was one of the few men whom Macias trusted and considered him such a friend that he had sent his children to North Korea to be educated not long before his execution.
,, ... made Idi Amin and Jean Bokasssa look like amateurs."
I used to think Idi Amin was the worst brutal dictator in post independence Africa but after watching this video , I concluded dictator Nguema was way beyond , Idi Amin was an amateur to him .
To Macias Nguema, one didn't have to go to school to be educated; just put on spectacles and you qualify to be an intellectual 🤣🤣
Killing people who wore specs?? Badass brother right there.
Agreed. He is the worst of them all.
This is one of your episodes I watch most often because it’s so unbelievable and terrifying. People often talk about ‘mad’ leaders but in this instance it’s the literal truth. This whole shocking story is deserving of a full-length book but sadly I doubt it will ever happen. Anyone capable of writing such a memoir Macias would have had murdered. I read a good quote from a UN diplomat who was present for one of his ranting speeches - “We had no idea what he was talking about but clearly he felt very strongly about it.”
He was a brutal dictator and I dislike Macias.
Jesus christ. Imagine if he took control of a country like Congo or Nigeria, the level of devastation he could have wrought.
Hmm , so can he be named Pol Pot of Africa ?
Thank you for making these videos. I am learning so much from them. I like learning more about Africa, even though a lot of it is very sad
Yohh crazy!!
If there was ever a good example of the rare chaotic evil dictator, Nguema would qualify. So would Pol Pot...

For his “Horrendous” crimes…………???. The sentence was carried out !!!. Yours truly Will VanNess
I'm reading a book CHROMOSOME 6 ....that's why I want to know more about this beautiful country
His father was murdered by colonists and his mother committed suicide? That’s the same story as Bokassa! Not sure about that.
How do we not know about him????
He was the most based african leader
