Eswatini

Eswatini's high court dismissed a case challenging its deal with the United States to accept deportees, upholding the government's actions. The country received $5.1 million as part of this agreement.

Eswatini's Supreme Court ruled against the government's appeal, allowing four deportees to meet with a lawyer. This highlights concerns about human rights in the country, which is Africa's last absolute monarchy. The nation also receives payments from the United States for accepting deportees.

Eswatini is the only African country excluded from China's zero-tariff policy due to its diplomatic relations with Taiwan. This exclusion could negatively impact Eswatini's trade with China compared to other African nations.

Eswatini has received deported third-country nationals from the United States, including individuals convicted of serious crimes, and is being paid $5.1 million for this arrangement. Concerns exist regarding the treatment of these deportees and the country's human rights record.

Eswatini is one of the five countries that received lump sum payments from the United States to deport migrants to its nation.
