That is why we call for the resignation of the prime minister and accept this resignation,\u201d Obiang said, according to a press release released Friday night by the Press Office of that African country.<\/p>\n<p>According to Obiang, who has ruled the country for 45 years, \u201cthe immeasure of enrichment, concealment and misuse of resources are the emphasis on the current situation of the Government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Equatorial Guinea is experiencing an \u201cunprecedented economic crisis\u201d and one of the reasons for this is the \u201clack of will\u201d and the \u201cexcessive vices and abuses\u201d of the current members of the Executive, according to the President.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the campaign for the last elections, promises have been made to the people that have not been fulfilled so far.
