In Eswatini, lawyers and activists are raising concerns over the government's acceptance of US deportees, arguing that the deal lacks transparency and is unconstitutional. This situation is compounded by the recent expiration of the AGOA agreement, which previously allowed certain African exporters tariff-free access to US markets, leaving many uncertain about the future. While some business leaders see potential in the AfCFTA to fill the gap left by AGOA, the current climate raises significant human rights questions that cannot be overlooked.

Eswatini has welcomed a second group of 10 deportees from the United States, despite ongoing legal challenges surrounding the arrangement. This development is significant as it highlights the ongoing collaboration between Eswatini and the US government regarding immigration policies. The acceptance of these deportees may impact local communities and raise discussions about the implications of such agreements.
