A team by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in Eswatini and held talks with Government and Civil Society Officials on Sunday. The international community must monitor closely for the truth to come out since some see the involvement of the China-friendly Southern African Development Agency as a sham & a cover-up to protect the real powers behind the situation in Eswatini.

ਇਸਦੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ Human RIghts Watch, Eswatini remains an absolute monarchy ruled by King Mswati III, who has led the country since 1986. There are no legally recognized political parties in the country due to a ban by a 1973 decree. Despite the adoption of the 2005 constitution, which guarantees basic rights and the country’s international human rights commitments, the government has not reviewed the decree or changed the law to allow the formation, registration, and participation of political parties in elections. In 2020, the government of Eswatini proposed a new omnibus cybercrime bill that threatens freedom of speech and media freedoms.
Amnesty International posted: The protests unfolding across Eswatini are a result of years of denial of the political, economic, and social rights of the people, including young people, and the recent escalation of suppression of dissent by the authorities. Defending human rights and expressing critical views have been criminalized, and authorities have systematically crushed freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly.
