The Kingdom of Eswatini has joined a growing list of African nations that have agreed to accept deportees from the US.

Five detainees whose home countries refused to accept them because of the severity of the crimes they had committed were flown to the southern African nation, Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, said in an X post on Wednesday.
