Africa’s last absolute monarchy, Eswatini, has seen months of ongoing pro-democracy protests. Each one has been met with deadly force by a police and military that answer directly to the King. This week we speak with Thulani Maseko, human rights lawyer and pro-democracy advocate about the situation on the ground in this southern African nation.
Support the eSwatini Solidarity Fund @eswatinisolidarity if you can and share this story far and wide. Without international pressure the King will continue to oppress the Swazi people through violence and terror.
