Tensions mount in Eswatini as students protest against King Mswati

Retaliation by students led to the alleged shooting of a police officer who has since been hospitalised and the extensive fire damage to homes and extensive damage to police property.
Pudemo’s head of international relations, Siboniso Mkhabela said: “There was retaliation by the pro-democracy forces whereby a police officer was shot in revenge, we don't know if he is still alive but he has been admitted to hospital and also a big house of a soldier was burnt to ashes yesterday.
“The youth is angry and vengeful and we are anticipating more incidents during the course of the week.”
