A group of young men armed with knives have taken some streets of Equatorial Guinea hostage.
The young men, locals say, move in groups of 50s and 100s attacking people.
“They call themselves 8 machete,” says a witness.
The movement is said to have started from the time of their Colonial master, Spain and has lived on.
“… There is this drug that when they take, all that comes to their minds is to kill.”
Some videos of the young men engaged in a fight are making waves in social media. In one, of such clips, two men are seen battling out with machetes as a crown cheers.
They both end up with injuries ans large cuts inflicted on each other. Images of similar occurrences tell the same story.
It remains uncertain if the tiny country’s security and administrative forces have engaged any solution to put an end to the brutality reigning in its streets.
