Lawyers and activists in Eswatini challenge government for accepting US deportees

In Eswatini, a coalition of human rights activists and lawyers is raising alarms over the recent arrival of US deportees, questioning the legality and ethics of the government's agreement with Washington. 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 argue that this could enhance the effectiveness of the AfCFTA, the immediate concerns about human rights and constitutional integrity remain pressing and highlight the complexities of international agreements.
