US voices 'serious doubts' over Equatorial Guinea vote
The US government on Tuesday expressed "serious doubts" about the legitimacy of the re-election, officially by a landslide, of Equatorial Guinea's President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. In power since 1979, Obiang was re-elected in the Central African oil country which he rules with an iron fist and in the face of a muzzled opposition, according to official results announced on Saturday.
