Twelve Equatorial Guinean presidential security agents are reportedly in Paris and Madrid preparing operations against CORED opposition figures, according to Radio Macuto. Ambassador Juan Ndong Nguema Mbengono, recently appointed to France, would lead them, while French and Spanish police have reportedly been alerted.

Twelve members of Equatorial Guinea’s presidential security service are in Paris and are reportedly travelling between the French capital and Madrid to prepare operations against opposition figures in exile, according to Radiomacuto. The operation is reportedly led by Juan Ndong Nguema Mbengono, recently accredited to the French presidency.

Those targeted reportedly belong to the Coalition for the Restoration of a Democratic State (CORED), an alliance of around 20 Equatorial Guinean parties and associations based abroad. Equatorial Guinea’s public prosecutor’s office classified CORED as a “terrorist group” in September and is offering rewards of up to €1.5 million for its leaders, Radiomacuto reports.
