You may have heard of the three great tyrants of Africa, former President Amin of Uganda, Emperor Bossaka of Central Africa and former President Mobutu of Zaire.
But Africa also has a ruler who can rival these three. It can be called the first person under the three males.
He is the former President of Equatorial Guinea, Massier, who is known as the "African Madman".
Tang Bohu has an ancient poem "Others laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others can't see through" but Marcie belongs to the kind of "others laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others to see the wear."
The first half of Marcière's life
In 1924, a vision suddenly fell from the sky on the land of Africa, and a baby fell to the ground in a relatively wealthy family in Equatorial Guinea, who was later famous as "the only miracle of Equatorial Guinea".
At the age of nine, Marcière began an 11-year-long pursuit of education. After 11 years of primary and secondary school, Massier's path to school has finally come to an end, and he feels that he has become a "learned" person. Marcière was really a heifer coming to relative at the moment— the cow was broken.
After graduating, Macière entered the Spanish colonial government through his parents' relationship, and Macière worked as a grassroots government servant for three years. But then Massier felt that he was a thousand-mile plow rake within the Spanish government—not reused. So he resigned in a huff and began to go to the sea to do business, and Marcie started a coffee business, but after a year of business, he may feel that the money is not as fast as when he was in the government. So he went back to government work.
This time, Massier worked in the government for more than a decade, and because of his unusual admiration for Spanish Prime Minister Francisco Franco, he simply renamed himself Francisco Marcias Nguema. It has to be said that changing the name is also a technical job, and this name was later a stepping stone for Macière to become president.
Although Marcière had eleven years of study experience, he did not learn much knowledge, and erudition seemed to be only his own feelings, like a shell Lang wearing glasses - Leng Chong cultural people.
At this moment, the Spanish colonial government adhered to the principle of compulsory examination, And Macière took the civil service examination three times in succession, but all of them failed, and finally because of Macière's strong perseverance and his name made the Spaniards feel very good, the Spanish government was moved.
The Spanish government used to be a decent person, but this time there is no way, can only wear a top hat to wipe the ball, decent people do not do decent things, through entrained small copies, release water, give answers and other methods, Marcière has not been able to pass. The helpless Spanish government could only put down its decency and directly give Massier an official, making him a division-level official.
Marcière began to rise all the way
At this moment, Marcière has been in the dust of the official scene for more than a decade. Finally, it was time to be promoted.
In 1963, Massier traveled to Spain and met his idol, Francisco Franco. Franco was very satisfied with this big African brother who had a similar name to him, so he directly decided to make Macière a puppet of the Spanish government in Equatorial Guinea, so he said to Macière, "After organizational research, it is up to you to take on the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the prosperity of Equatorial Guinea." ”
On October 12, 1968, Equatorial Guinea became independent and Macière ascended to the presidency.
The Spaniards chose Marcie for two reasons, one because he was stupid enough and the other because his move to change his name made the Spaniards think he was loyal enough.
But this time the Spaniards really lost their calculations halfway, completely miscalculated, after Marcière came to power, he began to drive out the Spaniards in the territory, and then confiscated all the Spanish industries, at that time the entire country had less than 300,000 people, of which there were more than 700 Spaniards, equatorial Guinea was once a colony, and the national cultural level was obviously not very high. So the local teachers, doctors, technicians, etc. were almost all Spaniards, and Marcière directly expelled all of them, leaving the entire country's commerce paralyzed in an instant
Many ministers at the time told Marcière not to do so, but Macière was given a direct physical trial – executed by firing squad, and 12 ministers were shot by Macière.
Twelve ministers suddenly vacated ten positions, and who should they be given, so Massuet put his family and cronies in the hands of these powerful departments.
As long as someone questions his decision. Marcie would always give that man a physical attack.
As long as Marcière did not like a person, he would execute him under various pretexts. For example, after learning that his lover had had multiple ex-boyfriends, he found these ex-boyfriends and then executed them all.
Crazy Mathier
There have been many tyrants, corrupt officials, and dictators on the African continent.
But Massier proved with his madness that he was the only crazy president in this black land.
In 1970, Macie dissolved the other political parties in the country, leaving only his own ruling party, the National United Workers' Party, and crowned himself as the life president of the party, the life president of the republic, and the general of the armed forces, completely transforming Equatorial Guinea into Macier guinea.
Feeling that the whole country only needed one learned man of its own, Massue first ordered the closure of all the state's schools, then banned all private serials, and then began to massacre intellectuals and shoot his former teachers.
But this was not the end of Maciès's madness, and Macière ordered the ban on all newspapers and magazines in the country and other public media.
He also commanded all churches to believe in themselves as the only true God. He was crowned "the only miracle of Equatorial Guinea".
Under years of publicity, many people believe that Marcie has divine powers.
After Some Tossing and Turning by Macière, Equatorial Guinea had no economy at all, no business activities, and no daily necessities. Throughout Equatorial Guinea, except for Macière's family and cronies, the rest lived the most primitive life. Without the economy, there would be no taxes, and without taxes, Marcière would have no money. Without money, Marcie began kidnapping foreigners for ransom, a German woman for more than fifty-seven thousand dollars, a Spanish professor forty thousand dollars, a Soviet citizen for six thousand dollars, and began to pass the kidnapping to develop the economy.
Later, the president of the Central National Bank was executed by Macière, and from then on the central bank closed its doors, and all foreign exchange earnings went into Macière's personal account.
The whole of Macières fell into madness and brutality.
The entire country did not have any state administration except the police, the army, and prisons, and at that time there were even diplomats in the international community who openly ridiculed Equatorial Guinea as "Auschwitz in Africa".
During Macière's reign over Equatorial Guinea for more than a decade, an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 people died under his slaughter.
The end of the tyrant
You should know that the entire country at that time was only 300,000 people, and nearly 150,000 people fled to other countries. By August 1979, his nephew Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo staged a coup d'état that overthrew Macière's rule.
After imprisoning Macière, in September of the same year, a trial of Macière was held, because there was no law in the country at that time, so only a few judges could be brought back from Spain, but although the judges carefully tried Macière's case, accusing Macie of treason, embezzlement, genocide, and 80,000 murders. They decided to sentence Marcie — to life imprisonment. The reason is simple, after the psychiatrist's determination, Marcière suffered from intermittent psychosis for thirty years and was a real "madman".
The judges found that the death penalty did not apply to a mentally ill person and sentenced him to life. But how could Teodoro accept life imprisonment? So he directly announced that He had sentenced Macière to death according to the crimes given by the judges and executed immediately, but because Macière had always proclaimed himself a god, many people in Equatorial Guinea believed that he was a god, and no one dared to execute him, for fear of retribution for killing him, so Orbi specially invited soldiers of the Moroccan Royal Guard to execute, and on September 29, 1979, Maciès was executed, ending his sinful life.
