The Eswatini government, led by Africa’s last absolutist monarch, announced a curfew on Tuesday to quell violent pro-democracy demonstrations that have rocked the tiny kingdom since mid-June and have intensified in recent days.
A day after several sources, including South Africa’s public broadcaster SABC, echoed reports King Mswati III fled his country amid the growing violence, the government issued a statement on Tuesday denying the claims and assuring the king was still in the country.
“Following the false media reports circulating, I would like to take this opportunity to assure emaSwati and the international community that His Majesty King Mswati III is in the country and continues to lead in working with Government [sic] to advance the Kingdom’s goals,” said Prime Minister Themba Masuku.
