The arrival in Eswatini of five "criminal illegal aliens" deported from the US under Washington's tough anti-immigrant measures has sparked a rare wave of public dissent in the small African kingdom. Rights groups and the main opposition party are concerned over the lack of transparency involved in the operation.
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 imprisoned after US authorities labelled them "criminal illegal aliens".
