Scotsman.com News – Latest News – Thatcher Probe Delays Coup Trial But President Decides Verdicts
The slim chance of alleged coup plotters linked to Sir Mark Thatcher getting a fair trial in Equatorial Guinea disappeared today when the oil rich nation’s President Teodoro Obiang signalled guilty verdicts.
And this guy is the nut-eater. When they tell him to “have a ball” it takes on a whole new dimension.
And don’t over look this tale of woe.
Mr Moto claims that the president was told by local soothsayers to kill the people close to him to keep his grip on power. Since then he has allegedly murdered and eaten people he views as a threat.
“He has devoured a police commissioner,” Mr Moto told a Spanish radio station in March. “I say ‘devoured’, as this commissioner was buried without his testicles and brain. We are in the hands of a cannibal.”
And Mr Moto sees himself as a prime target: “Obiang wants me to go back to Guinea … [so he can] eat my testicles.”
This place must have an interesting bureau of tourism.

Mr.”Moto”?
I remember when that was an insult, aimed at someone who commented – aloud – on what was obvious to the most casual of observers – “Thanks, Mr. MOTO!” (master of the obvious). 🙂
I see from the article that his full name is Severo Moto Nsa.
New Mexico specializes in lots of “Duh!” news. This is only partly off-topic, I hope. I’ve edited out the really boring parts; but, today’s TV newscasts are reporting this naked guy was “abusing” the dog. Abusing a pit bull has to be suicidal; but — naked?

Pit bull viciously attacks man
Unidentified man is critical after dog bites off his genitals; animal on the loose

Police and Animal Control Services are looking for a dangerous dog that seriously injured a man. The man remained in critical condition Monday night at the University of New Mexico Hospital, Detective Jeff Arbogast, an Albuquerque Police Department spokesman, said.
“The dog is a brown, pit bull-boxer mix, is what it looks like,” Arbogast said. “The guy was found missing his genitals. We don’t know who he is or where he lives.”
Neighbors saw the man playing with the dog earlier in the day near Susie Rayos Marmon Elementary School, 6401 Iliff Road N.W., Arbogast said. About 1:20 p.m. Monday, police were called to the scene when workers from a mowing service found the man unconscious, naked and bleeding on a yard near the school, he said.
“The lawn crew hit the dog with a pipe, causing it to yelp and run away,” Arbogast said. “When police arrived, the man woke up and started running away from the officers. They had to take him into custody so he could get treatment.”
Arbogast added he had no idea why the man was naked or why the dog bit him, but added, “I think there’s a little more to this whole thing than we know.”
