Messness

Been reading this about Teodoro Obiang, the ruler of Equatorial Guinea...

Who's Africa's Worst Dictator?

At least he has better taste than his predecessor.

From Wiki...
The incumbent president has never equalled the bloodthirsty reputation of former dictator Francisco Macías Nguema, whom he overthrew. On Christmas of 1975, Macías had 150 alleged coup plotters executed to the sound of a band playing Mary Hopkin's tune Those Were the Days in a national stadium.
