Obiang's Intel services are underrated. He managed to capture *all* of the mercenaries (64 captured in Zimbabwe) headed for his country *before* they even reached Guinnea. His counter-coup services arrested all of the plotters (in South Africa) and smeared his chief local opposition leader.

You can hate him for being a ruthless dictator sitting on top of a sea of oil, but you've got to respect that his Intel is stopping plots before they even make it into his own country.

I'm not sure that the coup was detected by Obiang's intel or whether is was South African agents who alerted him. The story didn't get a whole lot of coverage here in America.
