Paul Kenyon:马西亚斯·恩格玛是历史上最无能、最没有号召力的领导人之一。他缺乏清晰的意识形态、责任感和政治观点,他的统治完全由日益增长的非理性恐惧所驱动。他的妄想症,可能是长期使用强效精神活性物质的结果,导致他对任何与西班牙殖民势力有关联的人进行迫害。 Oskar Scafidi:马西亚斯推行"非洲化"运动,包括更改地名、强制改名、禁止西式医疗和食品,这实际上模仿了西班牙殖民当局的做法,对赤道几内亚的医疗和经济造成了灾难性的后果。 Narrator:马西亚斯政权的暴行包括对知识分子的迫害、对教育体系的破坏、对宗教的压制、对异见的残酷镇压以及对经济的摧毁。他的统治导致了大规模的杀戮、监禁和失踪,几乎导致赤道几内亚人口的四分之一死亡。他的侄子奥比昂最终发动政变推翻了他,但赤道几内亚仍然面临着腐败和人权侵犯问题。
