Biography

In the 1960s, Florencio Mayé Elá had military training at the General Military Academy in Zaragoza, Spain,[2] along with Teodoro Obiang, Eulogio Oyó, and other future leaders.

Under the dictatorship of Francisco Macías, he was head of the National Navy. He participated in the coup of 3 August 1979, and in the subsequent government of the Supreme Military Council[3][4][5] as Vice President and Minister of Foreign Affairs,[6] participating in the signing of the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between Spain and Equatorial Guinea of 1980.[7] He was decorated in Spain with the Order of Isabella the Catholic, along with Salvador Elá Nseng and Juan Manuel Tray.[8]

Under the regime of Teodoro Obiang, he served as ambassador to the UN from December 1982 to December 1987,[9] and to Cameroon beginning in December 2006.[1][10] In September 2008 he was involved in the kidnapping of the political refugee Cipriano Nguema Mba [es] in Cameroon,[11] for which the country declared Mayé Elá persona non grata. Due to this he had to leave office,[10] and was succeeded by Pedro Elá Nguema Buna.

In the 2013 legislative elections, he was elected senator representing the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE).[12][13] He is part of the Permanent Commission of Foreign Policy, International Cooperation, and Integration, and of the Permanent Commission of Defense and State Security.[14]
