Equatorial Guinea
President Teodoro 'Teodorin' Nguema Obiang has held power since the death of his father and former President, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. Much of the nation's income is through oil export to the United States, an on-going deal since large oil and hydrocarbon deposits were found in the country and its off-shore holdings in the mid-90s. After a poorly thought out 'display of force' against the Cameroon navy, the island of Bioko, and the nation's capital, was lost to the Cameroon military in the mid-30s, with the new capital declared in Bata. The nation continues to top the charts in corruption, human rights infringements including human trafficking, and a myriad other categories. However, thanks to a strong economy granted by oil export, and remarkable reforms in the agricultural sector, the country has one of the best funded land forces in the region.
Eritrea - Al Janyar control
This tiny nation in north-eastern Africa recently fell to Al Janyar aligned forces. Thanks to the nation's location on the Red Sea, much of the nation's efforts over the past twenty years had gone into agriculture and irrigation, as well as water purification technologies, which had left the tiny nation on the verge of becoming a much needed 'breadbasked' nation in the region. Much of this has been lost in the past few months of fighting against extremist forces, which would routinely target isolated villages and water processing plants to force the military to spread itself too thinly to properly resist their advance.
Ethiopia - Al Janyar controlled.
In light of steady losses against the Al Janyar aligned extremist groups in the country, remnants of the Ethiopian government have fled to Kenya, despite that nation's refusal to allow Ethiopian refugees to cross the border. The Ethiopian Defense Force diverted much of its effort in the remaining weeks systematically destroying its industrial complex, as well as demolishing the roads to the nation's lone deep-space observatory in the mountains near Lalibela, in hopes of keeping the nation's lone symbol of hope for its future out of the hands of Al Janyar forces, at least long enough for the ousted government to rally support to push Al Janyar from its soil.
