Energy Secretary's Father Linked to Brutal African Regime

The father of U.S. Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh was a global envoy for a Marxist regime accused of executing political rivals and engaging in cannibalism, according to reports.

Miatta Fahnbulleh's father, who identified himself as a Marxist, served as the global envoy for the People's Revolutionary Party of Benin. Historical accounts and witness testimonies from that era describe a regime marked by extreme violence, including political purges and alleged cannibalistic practices against enemies of the state.

Further details about the regime's actions and Fahnbulleh's father's role are emerging through archived documents and news reports from the period. The reports highlight the brutal nature of the regime's consolidation of power and its methods of dealing with opposition.
