非洲最富有国家之一，开始效仿特朗普的行事方式……

The tiny oil-rich central African nation of Equatorial Guinea is carrying on plans to erect a wall along its 183km-long border with Cameroon.

赤道几内亚是一个盛产石油的中非小国，正计划要沿着其与喀麦隆183公里长的边境建一堵墙。

The plans have sparked controversy with Cameroon authorities because of concerns about encroachment into Cameroon’s territory. 

该计划已激起喀麦隆当局不满，担心领土会被侵占。

Equato-Guinean officials are said to have already erected milestones to demarcate the line along which the border wall will be constructed.

The move, similar of US president Donald Trump’s pledge to build the controversial US-Mexico border wall, has angered Cameroon’s government.

此举与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普承诺修建具有争议的美墨边境墙相似，但已激怒了喀麦隆政府。

It dispatched its army chief of staff at the end of July to the border town of Kye-Ossi for a situation report and stationed elite forces along the border.

喀麦隆于7月底将陆军参谋长派往边境小镇Kye-Ossi汇报情况，并在边境沿线部署了精锐部队。

There has been a history of border friction between Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Tensions have been rising between the central African neighbors since Equatorial Guinea discovered oil in the 1990s.

喀麦隆和赤道几内亚之间历来有边境摩擦。自上世纪九十年代赤道几内亚发现石油以来，这两个中非邻国之间的紧张局势不断升级。

这个小国经常指责喀麦隆允许西非和中非，尤其是尼日利亚和喀麦隆的非法移民过境到赤道几内亚寻找赚钱的机会。

Eq Guinea officials seems to fear an influx of foreigners will weaken efforts to provide jobs to its citizens, majority of whom still live in poverty.

赤道几内亚的官员似乎害怕外国人涌入会削弱其为本国公民提供就业机会所做出的努力，国内大多数人仍然生活贫困。
