São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Ebébín is a city in the south-central part of the mainland region of Equatorial Guinea (Mbini), located in the province of Vele Nsas, near the Gabonese border. As an important town in the interior of the country, it has an economy based on agriculture and trade, and is surrounded by cocoa and coffee plantations and tropical forest resources.
The city is located in the equatorial rainforest climate zone, with high temperatures and rainfall all year round. The population is predominantly Fang, with a mix of Spanish and native languages, making it a typical window on the folklore of Equatorial Guinea's interior.
Ebebiyin is connected by road to Malabo, the capital, and Bata, the largest city, and serves as a transit point for the transportation of agricultural products from the interior to the coast. In recent years, with the development of the country's oil economy, the infrastructure has been gradually improved, but the whole town still retains its traditional appearance.
