Top Official Balthazar Jailed in Equatorial Guinea Corruption Case

Malabo, July 2, 2025

Former senior government official Balthazar Engonga Ebang has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for embezzlement, illicit enrichment, and abuse of power.

As head of Equatorial Guinea’s Financial Investigations Agency, Engonga was found guilty of misappropriating over 1 billion CFA francs, with most of the funds allegedly diverted for personal use.

The court imposed:

- 18 years total imprisonment, split across three charges
- A fine nearing 1 billion CFA francs
- A ban from public office

Though once known for social media notoriety, the trial focused solely on financial misconduct. Reactions remain mixed, some praise it as progress against corruption, while others suspect deeper political motives behind the verdict.

What is your opinion about this case?

Emmanuel Macron’s own words,

“In Seville, on the sidelines of the United Nations Conference on Financing for Development, I spoke with the President .

Currently undergoing a complete overhaul, the partnership between Senegal and France must enable us to move forward together in the service of the interests of our peoples and our sovereignty.

Economic, security and defense, cultural, and memorial partnerships: these are all projects that we are following closely with President Faye.

Finally, I welcomed Senegal's commitment to regional stability and to addressing major global challenges.”

The Economy Of Burkina Faso Under Captain Ibrahim Traore

Burkina Faso's economy under Captain Ibrahim Traoré is characterized by efforts to exert greater state control over its rich mineral resources, particularly gold, while also facing challenges related to security, poverty, and global economic trends.

The government is prioritizing nationalization of mines and the establishment of a national gold refinery to process 150 tons annually, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign entities and boost domestic revenue.

Traoré's government has nationalized two gold mines and halted the export of unrefined gold to Europe.

A national gold refinery with a capacity of 150 tons per year is being established to process the country's gold production, aiming to increase revenue and reduce reliance on foreign refineries.

The government has required foreign mining companies to grant the state a 15% stake in their operations and transfer skills to Burkinabe personnel.

Despite the challenges, Burkina Faso has seen some economic growth, driven by the services and agriculture sectors, with an estimated 4% growth in 2024

There is potential for growth in the agricultural sector and in the mining of gold, cotton, and other resources
