Page "Military of Equatorial Guinea" Paragraph 4

In 2002, a report said " The oil companies do not view Equatorial Guinea's military – a product of decades of brutal dictatorial rule – with much confidence.

The army is believed to have only about 1, 320 men under arms, the navy 120, and the air force 100.

Seven of the army's nine generals are relatives of the president ; the other two are from his tribe.

There is no clear command structure, the level of discipline is low, and professionalism and training are almost non-existent, according to locals and foreign oil workers.

Even the presidential guard – an indication of the lack of trust in the country's forces – is composed of 350 Moroccan troops.

" One general may be General Agustin Ndong Ona, reported in 2004.
