A Storm Was Coming

In 1904, Ësáasi Eweera, the last native Bubi leader who opposed the Spanish rule at the current island of
Bioko (Equatorial Guinea) was detained by colonial guards and forcefully taken to Santa Isabel, the
colony's capital. Imprisoned and fatally wounded, Ësáasi Eweera died three days later. His home village
was burned down and most of its inhabitants disappeared.
