A massive leak of explicit videos featuring senior civil servant Baltasar Ebang Engonga has sent shockwaves through Equatorial Guinea, raising suspicions of a power struggle in the politically restricted nation. Engonga, nephew of long-serving President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, was detained for corruption just before the scandal erupted, with some suggesting the leaks aim to undermine his potential succession. The videos involved several women, including relatives of powerful elites, and have led to calls for investigations into non-consensual sharing. Observers view the incident as emblematic of deeper corruption issues and internal conflicts within the ruling class.
