Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radio Nacional de Guinea Equatorial is the national broadcaster of the West African state of Equatorial Guinea. Radio Nacional de Guinea Equatorial is headquartered in the capital city, Malabo. Malabo is the capital but not the largest city of Equatorial Guinea, located on the northern coast of Bioko Island (formerly Fernando Po) on the rim of a sunken volcano.. Its population has grown rapidly over the past ten years to about 100,000 but, it is still one of the smallest capital cities in Africa. The city was first founded by the British in 1827, who leased the island from Spain during the colonial period. Named Port Clarence, it was used as a naval station in the effort to suppress the slave trade. Many newly freed slaves were also settled there, prior to the establishment of Liberia as a colony for freed slaves. While many of them later relocated to Sierra Leone, some of their descendants, called Fernandinos, can still be found in Malabo and the surrounding area, where they constitute a distinct ethnic group, speaking their own Afro-Portuguese pidgin dialect.
