The Republic of Equatorial Guinea (República
de Guinea Ecuatorial) is a country in Central Africa. It is one of the
smallest countries in continental Africa, and comprises two regions: RÃo
Muni, continental region including several offshore islands; and Insular
Region containing Annobón island in the South Atlantic Ocean, and Bioko
island (formerly Fernando Po) that contains the capital, Malabo.
Annobón is the southernmost island of Equatorial Guinea and is situated
just north of the equator. Bioko island is the northernmost point of
Equatorial Guinea. Between the two islands and to the east is the
mainland region. Equatorial Guinea borders Cameroon on the north, Gabon
on the south and east, and the Gulf of Guinea on the west, where the
island nation of São Tomé and PrÃncipe is located between Bioko and
Annobón. Formerly the Spanish colony called Spanish Guinea, its
post-independence name is suggestive of its location near both the
Equator and the Gulf of Guinea. It is one of the territories in mainland
Africa where Spanish is an official language, besides the Spanish
exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, and the UN-recognised but
Moroccan-occupied Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (Western Sahara). |
