Equatorial Guinea Sex Tape Scandal Prompts Government Crackdown

The leak of over 400 explicit videos involving a top civil servant has led to suspensions and internet restrictions in the country.

Baltasar Ebang Engonga, head of the National Financial Investigation Agency, is at the center of the scandal involving hundreds of explicit videos.
The videos, allegedly filmed in Engonga's office, feature him with wives of prominent officials, causing widespread public outrage.
Vice-President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue announced the suspension of civil servants involved in sexual acts at work and ordered the installation of surveillance cameras in government offices.
The scandal has led to severe disruptions in internet services as authorities attempt to curb the spread of the videos on social media.
Engonga was already under investigation for corruption, and the scandal has intensified scrutiny on the ruling elite, many of whom are related to President Teodoro Obiang.
