Protesters in Eswatini, Africa's last absolute monarchy, long for democracy • FRANCE 24 English
#Eswatini, a landlocked country nestled between #SouthAfrica and #Mozambique, was called "Swaziland" until 2018.

King Mswati III is being blamed for not listening to his subjects' demand for a modern political system and more democracy. As the protest movement keeps growing, Caroline Dumay and her team bring us this report from the troubled monarchy.
