US EditionEswatini Receives Third Batch of Migrants Deported by the US
At least 19 migrants have been sent to Eswatini in three batches since July, with the U.S. paying $5.1 million for the deportation agreement, rights groups say.
- Eswatini reported on Thursday that it had received four third-country deportees from the United States, raising the total sent there to at least 19 in the third batch.
- The Trump administration used secretive third‑country agreements that sent more than 40 deportees to Africa and paid Eswatini $6.5 million to receive them.
- The latest group included two Somali nationals, one Sudanese national and one Tanzanian national, while previous July deportees included nationals of Vietnam, Cuba, Laos and Yemen.
- Local civic groups in Eswatini have protested amid political concerns, while local human rights lawyers appealed after last month's high court ruling and repatriations began, lawyer Alma David reported.
- Intensive engagements with countries of origin are ongoing, and the Eswatini government reiterated it will uphold the rights and dignity of third‑country nationals detained in Eswatini despite some remaining in prison after serving sentences.
