A series of explosions at a military base in Equatorial Guinea have killed at least 15 people and wounded 500 others.
President Teodoro Obiang said negligence over the use of dynamite at the base at Bata city had caused the incidents but provided no other details.
Hospitals are overwhelmed by the number of patients being admitted and have called for blood donations.

😭😭😭😭😭
R.I.P for people who from this incident. And,sorry for the wounded.

At the root of every form of ungodliness, injustice, nepotism, selfishness, every rivalry and competitive jealousy, is the monster called greed.
Exactly.
Are our governments any different ?
This Presidential family plus the elites of this country have wealth over 100 billion dollars but has a nerve to ask for international support. In power for 42 years in a democratic country.. Nonsense
LOL @ Equatorial Guinea being democratic. It hasn’t had democratic elections since independence when the President’s uncle ran the show.
What is happening in this world why killing each other RIP to those who died
Prayers and best wishes to the people of Bata during this terrible tragedy. May all of those who lost their life be at peace with God!!!
That president is twisted in the mind but western colonials namely spain is also part member his corruptions
Hello i am from equatorial guinea
I fear for America. Eveyone hates us
A country of 1.5million people blessed with crude oil is calling for an international help over dynamite blast?Africa Africa Africa white people are not our problem our problem are our leaders
DON’T SEND BLOOD – THERE AINT NO BLOOD IN THE SHOP – SEND TRUCKS FOR RECYCLING
Guys will rapidly switch from bomb blast to embezzlement blast.
Saddening but why I’m not surprised ☹
And he is calling for international help, after ruling for almost 50 years still can’t prepare his country for worst situation Africa is the worst continent on earth with very foolish leaders, even if they rule for 100 years they still can’t prepare for emergency, greed is in our blood.
The dire is cast for the Obiang regime. From this days starts God’s work to neutralise all those foreign intelligence agencies from Spain and the Land of David keeping the regime in power. This Tsunami rolling on its way to Malaba cannot be stopped. The nation’s wealth shall be recovered at all cost!!
This so called President, and the nearly 54 others just like him are ONLY in their positions because they do the biddings of their European Masters. If they were actually trying to utilize their countries VAST natural resources for the good of their people they would be Assassinated or a coup would “surprisingly” occur.
There is NO Freaking way a black man can amass a $500 million fortune and his son own a $100 Million dollar home in France without being in good graces with his masters.
Get rid of any corrupt leaders quick smart…
Give us back Jammeh EQ G,he have to face justice!
Military base is built near residential area , what type of stupidity is that.
Rich of Obian to blame oil prices when his pockets have been filling with the peoples money for decades, if that man ever leaves office 80 % of Ecu Guineas reserves would be gone too
These people needs a revolution not a financial assistant. They should riseup now and claim their country.
sh!thole place called AFRICA!!
😂😅😅😁😁😉😛😛🙃😊
China demand this happen. Very sick and sad.😒
The president is a wicked man with no idea to help his people
PEOPLE NEED FOOD AND EDUCATION NOT BOMB AND BULLET..!!
UN should declare this as a failed state. When has it ever been more obvious?
Explosion = weaponary storage dump ? Given it was a series of explosions on such a large scale ,what else could it have been that caused this ? Plus corruption and a country run by gangsters. So tragic for all those caught up in this terrible event !
If there is a country in Africa who shouldn’t take foreign aid its Guinea equatorial this country have everything literally everything. There is so much wealth that nobody needs to work in that country but the Obiang family is so corrupt I don’t even know where to start.
Black americans be like, respect
That country it’s a family business? 🙄🤔
This what happened when u have stupid careless politicians
prayers for our brothers and sisters in Equatorial Guinea
I thought equitorial guinea was very peaceful. Kenyan here
It is. Only because it’s a dictatorship.
Ultra peaceful but with weaponry for deterrent
Who names a country equatorial guinea?
we see map of central Africa, wher Cameroon and Gabon
I think it’s time for the president to take care of his people.
Oh Yeah! Colonial puppets. Self enslaving African puppets of their neo-colonial masters. Africa and Africans have never been free from the colonizers.
Al Jazeera are you just going to ignore OBIGBO? The Obigbo massacre? The 53 women?
Now the president sons disappeared , they should take responsibility
Religion of peace
France cinema en African union
Du courage à vous. Nos prières vous accompagnent.
Praying for my people
Mama afrika wake up
They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of Capitalism in Africa or Latin America
The success of capitalism is in exploiting weaker countries for cheap.
@Proud Hindu
And the success in socialism is in excuses for its failures and shortcomings, because that’s the only thing it never has a shortage of.
@Shaun Cameron you’ll have a word to say to those Scandinavian countries as well as to why the richest countries in Africa per capita are all socialists.
@Proud Hindu
Capitalist welfare states. And Sweden got bankrupted by socialism in the 1970’s.
Like Equatorial Guinea?
@Shaun Cameron Seychelles, Mauritius, etc…
I will pray for y’all
Import the third world you become the third world
looks like the armory master is about to get chewed out by th- wait nvm….
US is back
Jesus Christ loves you, so much that He died for you on the cross, to pay the penalty of your sins so that you wouldn’t have to. Put your full trust and believe in Him for salvation today, because who the Son sets free is free indeed 🙏🏻
Kindly consider receiving Him into your heart as your LORD and Saviour, it’s the best decision you’ll ever make 😊
(Romans 10:9-10 and Ephesians 2:8-9)
Mucho prayers and healing por la gente de Guinea Ecuatorial.🇬🇶🙏
It’s crazy that a family can own countries.
The Nguemas with Equatorial Guinea. The Kims with North Korea. The Duvaliers did it with Haiti. The Castros did it with Cuba.
Mmm shame
Eupore sucked down Africa to become poorest continent.
Father is president,son is Vice President.what a country
Islaaaaaaam, is a religion of peace!
80% of people live on less than 2 dollars a day …
Yet it’s a very very expensive country
Apart from all that madness, this was the first time ever in my life that I saw news about: Equatorial Guinea. Instead the headlines are British royals’ internal struggles and that stuff …
First search from where did those boom come from who make the boom
Methane gas build up in a crowded Kasai please keep to social distancing at all times to avoid this happening and always use paper to wipe your jacsy and wash your hands !!
Truly sorry 💕
Them News Reporters Are Insurgents
I truly wonder, aren’t there actually more than 1 active UN program being implemented there? 2 dollar a day for 80% of the population? aren’t there only 1.5 Million people there? It should be easy to uplift the living standard and wage of small amount of population when UN is helping…? Now I’m intrigued where did all those money and help gone?
Teodoro Obiang negligence caused the incidents killed killed at least 15 people and wounded 500 others (useful tool copy paste)
Now 105 killed and 615 wounded
Pls help!!!!
Dictators is Greedy and corruption…people should kill dictators problem solve
Yes they can be an international assistance , Cameroon the country and brother next door have many hospitals that can be useful for the first responders casualties , Sangmelima , Ebolowa have big regional hospitals , if that is not enough , you can add Mbalmayo . Just call next door and they can even decide and fly in Doctors . Then the financial assistance will come down the road .
This will be the african version of beirut 😔
Theives and dacoits looting the country
The question that should be asked is why does this small country need to store these explosives and ammunition and of course arms? Investigations should be carried out as to the origin of what countries support this regime by supplyiong them with arms which serve mainly to suppress their own people, or whether they serve as a depot to supply other countries. Furthermore all those that have been killed and wounded shopuld receive compensations for their physical injuries, the damage to their properties as well. This is a case for the AU African Union to look into IMMEDIATELY!!!
And our thieves in power, are trying to hide that situation.
1Billion personal wealth. and asking. for help are you kidding me.
Lebanon relived?
How can a people allow those who choose to distance from the people look to these individuals for guidance when they know nothing of such. The white man has taught them well.
That a bomb
Praying for these people I doubt that president Nguema is going to do a whole lot to help his people he’s more worried about stealing all of the money made from the countrys oil reserves and his son the Vice President spends his time partying and lounging around in his luxury houses.
Run away the man and his son one branch of fool and theives
Equatorial Guinea is not poor and it’s people are not poor neither is it more corrupt than western countries. The reason for the blackmail is that they have resisted French colonialism tactics and they want to impose a stooge in power. Africa is getting wiser.
How is it that every dictator, corrupt rulers (whom the West routinely condemn) manage to buy castles and palaces in London, Paris, Switzerland, US and Germany and they also manage to store billions in banks in these countries? In public West condemn them but in private they help them steal billions and put them in the West and 8 out of 10 times those stolen money never gets taken away so UK, France, US, Germany get to keep them.
Only few days ago it was reported that Myanmar’s Bhuddist military terrorists got hundreds of millions in the UK banks. Prince Salman of Saudi bought nearly a half-billion palace in Paris. King of Brunei got more money than the Queen of England, mostly put away in the West. Thailand’s leader was running his country while relaxing in Berlin… the list goes on.
The West only provides a lip service. They don’t really condemn these thugs and low-life maggots. They love them, they help them stay in power, they protect them, they install them and they facilitate them to siphon trillions away from their poor people and the West gets to keep those trillions for free once those dictators are killed or deposed and a new one takes over and the cycle begins all over again.
If you check any dictator’s inner circle, you will find the very first foreign powers that make contact with them and offer them all sorts of “facilities” are UK, France and the US.
Stop giving assistance aid to African we all know those aid won’t go to the people in need,pure example Equatorial Guinea rich in oil the president is a billionaire and the people live in absolute poverty, one more point how come the rich oil Arab country are building skyscraper in the desert with they oil money and Africa don’t it’s a failure and corruption
Bless their souls and prayers to their souls
Men being men. 666…..
All this hate need to stop. It has to
One blast like this brought Lebanese gov down, maybe this one should.
We African are tired of such leaders who manage their Country as their person private property.
Museveni did that, his son now Chief general of defense and most likely his successor after bribing corrupt idiots politician mainly from his ruling party and changed Presidential term limits to life.
Now there is another scheme in Kenya to amend constitution without knowing exactly what needs to be amended another ploy for the son of the late former authoritarian first President of Kenya.
God help Africa get rid of this kind of leaders.
Meanwhile in the UK.. piers Morgan quits gmb for saying something about Harry and megan again …
The corrupt Begging for international help???? Give me a break 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
LEBANON BLAST #2
🤓MONUMENTALLY DUMB LEADERS OF AFRICA >>>>THEY ARE 100 YEARS OLD AND STILL FIGHTING TO HOLD On to POLITICAL OFFICE >> I sympathize for the citizens but not that STUPID thieving leader, they should arrest him and take the millions that he stole and repair the damage from the explosion ☻😠😡
What about saudi Arabia? m.b.s. has a house in france worth hundreds of millions! seize that. Look at how much poor ppl they have there. Plus the human rights abuses and the support for terrorism. remember 9/11?
When it comes to news especially about African or other poor nations, when it’s presented by major news channels I can NEVER believe everything I hear.
Who knows if that’s the truth at all
the african revolution wave soon come 🤲🏿
Typical
Obiang is one of the world’s most vile dictators
This has the smell of freedom written all over it!
China has something to do with that or united snakes
Act of war
Neo-colonialism standard operating procedure: So this comprador ruling family has been impoverishing their own ppl in exchange for millions to help the West ransack their country’s oil wealth for a pittance. But now the French are using the courts to seize the ruling family’s assets after some sort of incompetence has left them vulnerable. Sounds like the French have found some competing comprador that’s gonna let them ransack the country on better terms than the current guys and is ready to use the courts to kick out the current government.
the video quality tells me this happened in the 80’s or they used a potato to record this.
This is dunya means world 0+0= greedy and end 0 but ? god ask u what u done live time already he notes then only 2ways right there heaven or hellfire it’s beginning when angel take soul so now not too lite to correct live to right way clean way god mercy
