France: Why is Theodorin Obiang, the son Equatorial Guinea's president, on trial in Paris? 

Starving people..

All the monies from the sale of the nation’s resources are pocketed by the dictator who owns vast amount of real estate in the US and Europe while the common man and their children scurry the garbage dumps for food to survive.

Master, west Africa is made up 16 countries and mine is not part of the tax system you mentioned

@@agbekoandrew4112 yes, master

same to kenya

@@crazyweb9605 can you cite incidences?

@@Kenyan_Zoomer Syokimau ask the residence there

Equatorial Guinea is a poor country that this African vice President and his father is responsible for , yet they keep stealing from the people.

Yepp! That's it

Equatorial Guinea isnt a francophone state its a the only spanish speaking country in africa

Yep maybe if the join the EU to replace the billions we wasted there, they'll turn a blind eye!

Yup!

Yusof Johan how is the money supposed to reach the people of Guinea exactly smartass?

Of course not. It's staying in France where the trial is taking place.

I bet 100%

Overreach by the colonial masters. Very rich for them to judge, when they've ravaged franco west african countries.

@@supernova8506 Equatorial Guinea was a Spanish colony, not French.

What jurisdiction does France have over Equatorial Guinea? If you think the funds will ever reach the average citizen you've exposed your ignorance of the geopolitical landscape......

@@supernova8506 worth a try, perhaps just to awaken some sense of moral responsibility. This guy and his father have robbed the country blind while kids use streetlamps to study at night because they have no electricity at home and mountains of rubbish flank the streets, these creeps retreat to their mansions in france. Its despicable

They rarely return the loot unless under unfavorable terms

Stephen,hi there😃 I agree with your sentiment and Respect your opinion,the truth is that over here in Africa most countries are third world countries and our leaders are so corrupt it's not even even funny, no jobs for the youth,no infrastructure that's actually making Sense,for example here in my country Kenya our sewer system was the one queenElizabeth put these people don't care. We live in a country where on one of the news segment a lady in one of the cities called Mombasa(the coast) a lady was on t.v being arrested for boiling stones in a pot for days lying to the children she's boiling food because she has no food to provide. They arrested her.then there's a governor's(Anne Waiguru) son whose 23 or something driving an Aston Martin in the same country.🙄

Too many lefties on these threads. Always the west fault

US congress members cannot have critics tortured and murdered.

@@gibson2675 how’s it not after signing a deal to only pay 12% of oil revenue to the richest country in oil in the world ? Needs 2 parts to play that thieves game

You are so right. I really like your comment. Africans will dispute this because the media has made them feel senators and congress men and women are better their leaders. Ask Mitch etc.

Inbox

Revolution is the way

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haha nigute..

I feel this comment, Dedan

"Let us show u how it's done..... but don't u dare do it too!"

Samia will sell you to the east Africa capitalist

That's why he was killed

I am happy they confiscated his assets. His family are evil, how can they live like this while poverty ran rampant in Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶?

Samson g exactly what I was thinking a legal business in another country proven by the president. Another country can't stop someone from having nice things...

Listen .. as an African, l think France must invade that place.

@@patmtc477 I dunno, man. France doesn't have the best track record when it comes to fighting wars.

Most of the properties are in France that's why. The stolen embezzled public funds was spent on france.

As always, no responsibility, its the coloniser's fault. Do you ever hear South Korea whinning about Japan raping their country a few decades ago?

And it will always be that way if you live in the past

More marxist excuses for African despots why

Pls ..what nonsense is this. Stop blaming white pple for everything. This rotten dictator is doing this to his people. I think they were better off under French colonial rule

"its europeans fault that our current rulers steal and are corrupt even tho they invaded hundreds of years ago" LOL

Well you won't......so?

The 100 he has bought properties in France with the money he's diverted in Guinea, that's money laundering on French soil so they can charge him

E. guinea was spanish colony

Just like drug dealers they sieze there assets that are in the country

@@morenitomoreno1282 the irony is no one is talking about the poor contract given to the guinea government for there oil by Exxon

Yeah invite france so they take your resources. why you african love the white men so much. Always want thr whitemen help to destroyed your country.

@@Geordany7788 Kenya doesn't do business with France.

Easy for you say rubbish. When western Europe can sabotage African countries.

@@rodrozil6544 ??

Alyasa Nashar Rahmansyah This hero of yours has acquired a vast amount of properties in France. Given it could be black money and later could be used for international criminal charges, France have to act on it before he buys the whole town of France and they are also dragged into it for complying with a shameless corrupt criminal.

Rosh Louis " it could " but it isnt how do you know its from black money or from his salary or his business ,,

Alyasa Nashar Rahmansyah Its a quick and simple maths. His own salary cannot amount to a million in a year, yet he has a multi million properties in the heart of Paris.

Rosh Louis he invested it in various firm, no adult in the world only depend on it salary or its wage, this is france trying to become matters again, time has changed , if he given a guilty verdict , it doesnt change anything..

A French nationality maybe?.

We were... Actually many pockets of India were under French rule for varying periods of time. French had all the desire to make India their colony. It's just that they lost most of it to English in Anglo-French wars. I think pondicherry was all they could hold off till the very end of colonialism in India.

A typical African talk...as usual.

That timber belongs to the country and anyone using it for their own interests is wrong.

He wants to be white

Every African leader who is dealing with foreign Governments must be rooted out of Africa. They must all be removed!

What do you mean? This is in France.

He is enjoying the benefits of living in France with money that could have developed Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶. I think France 🇫🇷 did well, so that next time he will think of residing in his country so that he can think of improving it.

They want oil since the Americans are the only ones mining it there

He chose to live in France

Neo colonialnism

The kind of excuse could only from mouth of loony left such the blm and antifac.

@@hitsongsa he chose to live there but has a legal business the president of that country approves of it and I'm sure so do there local collection offices it's not illegal

France can do whar ever it wants they are black and the French will always rule them. Without Europeans they will be dead.

No. They're going to keep the money for themselves.

Why would they do that? It would end up right back in the hands of those clowns in the government.

No, its an ex spanish colony

You probably from Trinidad or Guyana where racism is prevalent.

Please give them another chance. African needs help from the caribbeans. 😃 Pathetic

't derek452 Most of us just want to leave the Africans alone. We don't want to get messed in their business.

Haat Praat bulshit

No. Jamaican.

Maybe you should start that process

He's trying to imitate the European White males, signs of self hate.

Haha than you just a naïve person

Think twice next time when donating money to some turbo corrupted countrys like Equatorial Guinea . Just remember what happened in 1985. with famous 'Live Aid' music festival. Dont ever donate money to any african country, they are all corrupted to the bone, they are even worse then western countrys.

It came out of franco regime

Your logic is that he was the victim of "french colonislism and imperialism" therefore he should be release?

@@richardque4952 nope, no exception for looters, be it colonisers or the followers of colonisers

Same logic being use by the blm Screaming racism in order to justify the criminal behavior.

Typical Euro behavior to try and become "World Moral Police" after accumulating most of their initial wealth by the enslavement of entire Nations now attempting to punish someone for doing exactly the same things they've done in the past.

he officially only earns and pays tax on 100k a year

Ellos no se preocupan por sus trabajadores aquí en la embajada de south África llegó nueva embajadora y les pagó sueldo de noviembre en diciembre no sueldo para diciembre no respeto para los locales
