I just cant get over this Eswatini story I really cant, the more I hear/read about it the wilder it gets.
Ok so there are 5 people being deported from the US officially in this regard and they are ALL from 5 different nations, Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen, and Laos.
So my primary news source for this in Eswatani (formerly Swaziland) is Newzroom Afrika (yes that EXACTLY how they spell it) and this fucking guy
I just dont even know what to say, this looks like how Sam Hyde would dress an African as a joke and its his official news outfit, its also even funnier when you realize the woman interview him is dressed "normal"
Our boy has also been in some hot water with the king recently for saying some "false news allegations" lmao
ANYWAY
The word in the herd is that this has very little to di with Eswatini and the government there is just playing ball with trump to try and get criminals/milita groups into south Africa but I cant quite put my finger on why he wants that. My guess is to topple the existing government.
It also asks an interesting question isent deporting people back to a place they dident come from just human trafficking by another name? Sure its governments doing it and sure its criminals right now but it sets a kinda wild precedent that the US reserves the right to just ship you off to a random nation state if they determine you have committed crimes against the state can you imagine what the second congressional congress would have had to say about that?
