Eswatini: Lawyers and activists challenge government for accepting US deportees

In Eswatini, rights groups and lawyers are calling for transparency regarding the latest group of US deportees to arrive under a deal between the kingdom and Washington. Critics say this deal is both unconstitutional and morally problematic. Also, the AGOA agreement that granted certain African exporters tariff-free access to US markets expired a week ago, leaving the future uncertain. However, some business leaders believe that its expiration could boost the effectiveness of the AfCFTA, the continent's own trade agreement. And a win for Cape Verde would secure their place at the World Cup, which would have been unimaginable a decade ago. The archipelago's squad will face Libya on Wednesday, with fans on both sides on tenterhooks as everything is at stake.
