  • The United States on Wednesday urged authorities in Eswatini to exercise restraint and allow peaceful protests after reports of deadly force in Africa's last absolute monarchy. "We urge the government to exercise restraint and also maintain the utmost respect for human rights," State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter told reporters. "The United States urges all stakeholders in this situation to not only remain calm but also remain peaceful," she said. "It goes without saying that the United States strongly supports freedom of expression as well as freedom of peaceful assembly, and that we know an inclusive and peaceful dialogue is essential to progress moving forward." The landlocked southern African kingdom previously known as Swaziland has long stifled dissent but had generally been peaceful. But demonstrations sharply escalated this week as protesters took to the streets demanding political reform. Activists said Wednesday that eight demonstrators were killed overnight in the administrative capital Manzini out of around 28 who had been shot. Police have declined to give details and internet access has been limited as the government imposed a dawn-to-dusk curfew. The United States has historically had cordial relations with Eswatini, whose high rate of HIV/AIDS has made it a priority country in the multibillion-dollar US initiative to fight the disease. sct/st
