Monochrome and monotonous, news dished out to the citizens of Teodoro Obiang Nguéma's country is thin stuff. The country has no privately-owned publications, apart from in exile. The few journalists working for the international media or agencies are put under surveillance, warned and threatened. It is not done to criticise the president, his family or his clan and the state media takes good care not to.
