Djibloho, officially the Administrative City of Djibloho[1] (Spanish: Ciudad administrativa de Djibloho),[2] is the newest province of Equatorial Guinea, formally established by law in 2017.[3] The administrative city was initially carved out of Añisok, a district in Wele-Nzas,[4] on 1 August 2015,[5] and was created to eventually replace Malabo as Equatorial Guinea's national capital.[6]
