    Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo (born 5 June 1942) is an Equatoguinean military officer and politician who has served as president of Equatorial Guinea since 1979. He came to power in a coup that removed Francisco Macías Nguema and then led a transition from revolutionary dictatorship to a tightly managed presidential system dominated by the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE). His government presided over the discovery and expansion of offshore oil production in the 1990s, transforming state revenues and infrastructure while intensifying disputes over corruption, inequality, and repression.
