Criminals: Rare Public Dissent About Eswatini Taking in Illegal Immigrants
-

The five, nationals of Vietnam, Laos, Yemen, Cuba and Jamaica, were flown to Eswatini's administrative capital of Mbabane on 16 July, on a US military plane and incarcerated after US authorities labelled them "criminal illegal aliens".

The government of Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, has confirmed their presence.
