#Swaziland Rapport #ICJ sur l'état de droit. L'indépendance de la justice est sous pression https://defendlawyers.wordpress.com/2026/04/14/rule-of-law-under-strain-in-eswatini-a-submission-on-judicial-independence-and-civic-space/

Across #Africa, governments backed by elites and foreign powers are violently crushing uprisings for #democracy.

In #Sudan, RSF militias are massacring civilians; in #Tanzania, a rigged election sparked protests met with live fire and curfews. Similar repression is hitting #Kenya, the #Congo, #Swaziland, and #Cameroon: young people are rising against corruption, poverty, and dictatorship — and being met with bullets.

The call is for unity across the continent.

#Eswatini, formerly known as #Swaziland, is a nation of about 6,700 square miles surrounded on 3 sides by #SouthAfrica. NYT previously reported negotiations w/ Eswatini in an investigation detailing how the #Trump admin had been looking to get >50 countries to take immigrants from other places.

🇸🇿 19 avril 2018, le Swaziland devient le Royaume d'Eswatini https://www.election-politique.com/election.php?ref=637

#Histoire #History #Eswatini #Swaziland

#OnThisDay in 2018, King Mswati III officially renamed #Swaziland to #Eswatini.

Ostensibly he said it was because people were getting Swaziland confused with #Switzerland.

Well, I don't know about you, but never in my life have I ever confused Swaziland with Switzerland.

And I don't know about you, but even six years later, I still refer to his country as Swaziland (when I have occasion to refer to it, of course. Which, admittedly, isn't very often).

#History #Africa

Google maps respecting how we in Sweden/Swedish haven't officially adopted the native names of cities & countries.
It's a vibe.

#NZPol podcast #BHN being the number 1 podcast in #Swaziland was their claim to fame a while back so was amused to learn they've been knocked off their perch in the competitive podcast wars of Eswatini.

I did two trips to the Malalotja Reserve in Swaziland. Once in the late 80s and then again in the early 90s. One wild camps in designated spots, which have to be reserved. It is real wilderness.

One walks between zebra, wildebees, and various other buck species. On my first trip's last day, I was walking on the exiting jeep track and a herd of wildebeest ran across the road, not to far behind me.

The assassination of a prominent human-rights lawyer has rocked the small kingdom of #Eswatini in the latest eruption of violence after years of brutal crackdowns on pro-democracy activists in #Africa’s last absolute monarchy.

Thulani Maseko was gunned down in front of his family in his living room on Saturday night. Unidentified assassins shot him through a window, according to opposition leaders in Eswatini, the country formerly known as #Swaziland.

Long shot but idk let's try: heading to #Eswatini (formerly #Swaziland) soon, for the first time. This will only make it my second country in #Africa that I've visited. Definitely first time in Southern Africa*. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations? It is for work so I don't expect to have much time but I'll try and explore around mealtimes especially. #travel

*So far I've learned in the south 'mamba' is a snake but in the east it's crocodile 😄

Internet has just been restricted in #eSwatini by the government. I’m currently using a VPN to access most social media apps.

Internet service providers in #eswatini #Swaziland have been ordered by the government to shutdown services. They are buckling under the pressure from an unaccountable monarchy. News coming out of the country will be sparse. The veil of secrecy will allow more killings.
