Equatorial Guinea was originally home to Bantu-speaking peoples before becoming a Spanish colony in the 18th century. It gained independence in 1968 but soon fell into dictatorship and political repression. Despite its vast oil wealth, much of the population remains in poverty. The country is known for its authoritarian rule and limited political freedoms, though its economy is heavily tied to petroleum exports.
