Eswatini accepts 10 US deportees despite legal challenge
This is awful.
The US had described the five - from Jamaica, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam and Yemen - as "depraved monsters".
In September, campaign group Human Rights Watch (HRW) said it had seen the agreement between the Eswatini and US governments.
It provides for Eswatini to accept up to 160 deportees in exchange for $5.1m (£3.79m) from the US to build its "border and migration management capacity", HRW said.
