Israeli company Sparta Security Solutions is training special forces personnel in Equatorial Guinea. This was revealed when Vice-President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue – President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo's son and heir apparent – visited their training facility.

The vice-president's office released photographs and a video of the visit that clearly showed instructors at a training facility wearing apparel with the Sparta name and logo, as well as Israeli flag patches.

The video's narrator said the vice-president visited the Okoheté Military Training Centre a few kilometres from Mongomo on 27 April, where he witnessed various demonstrations of the Special Corps' prowess.

The video showed as many as 200 personnel and more than 12 instructors, some of them Africans, at what appeared to be a relatively new facility with a large parade ground and a small arms range.
