Reply to comment by moose098 in TIL On Christmas Eve 1969, Francisco Macias Nguema had 186 suspected dissidents executed in the national football stadium in Malabo with the executioners dressed as Santa Claus, with the amplifiers played Mary Hopkin's song "Those Were the Days". by Osrever101

He openly asked for help and people not only ignored him they kept listening to him?!?! I mean I see the people in government who I know are bat shit insane but at least they pretend not to be.

he did not openly ask for help. he secretly sought treatment in a country other than his own.

It was obviously a trick. A bogus cry for help. Anyone taking it seriously was in line for some bizarre execution, guillotine by razor blade or something.
