Africa-Press – Eswatini. Emaswati have expressed strong support for the arrival of 11 Third-Country Nationals from the United States, highlighting the diplomatic and economic advantages this development brings.
Government has assured the nation that the individuals pose no threat to national security and are being housed in a secure facility.
On social media, citizens voiced their confidence in the arrangement, emphasizing that it reflects Eswatini’s peaceful nature and solid diplomatic ties with the US. “The country is benefiting from the agreements made between them and the US and those immigrants do not bother anyone,” one user commented.
Strengthening Diplomatic Bonds
Several citizens noted that this move symbolizes deepening cooperation between Eswatini and the US, which could unlock future opportunities.
“These inmates are coming with a lot of diplomatic benefits between the tiny kingdom and the United States. This will tighten our relations with the USA,” one post read.
Another commentator added, “Eswatini deepening ties with the U.S. could cement a concrete future, but only if the foundation is built on shared gains, not just good intentions”.
A Peaceful Nation with Global Friendships
Emaswati also reflected with pride on the country’s tradition of peace and positive international relations.
“Eswatini is a peaceful Kingdom that has good relationships with many countries including the US, and we are really enjoying the benefits,” one user remarked. Others emphasized that the presence of these individuals should not cause alarm, as they are temporarily in the country under structured agreements.
“Honestly, I don’t get what the big issue is with the immigrants. We were told they’ll go back to their home countries, and some already have. They’re not causing any problems, and they’re being looked after. Plus, we’re actually getting a good deal from the U.S., our tariff is only 10%, while others got hit with more,” another comment noted.
National Unity Over Fear
Social media users also urged fellow citizens to remain united and optimistic.
“Emaswati should stop listening to people who constantly wish for the country to collapse. It was mentioned that the foreign prisoners do not pose a threat to anyone and that we are benefiting from keeping them for a while. Furthermore, it is improving our relationship with the government of the USA,” one post stated.
Others echoed this sentiment, calling for calm and understanding: “Let us not panic about the arrival of the inmates; they are not here to stay but they are here temporarily”.
Looking Ahead
As Eswatini continues to position itself on the global stage, this collaboration reflects a broader vision of diplomacy anchored in peace, mutual respect, and shared benefits. The public’s positive reaction underscores a growing national confidence in the government’s foreign policy approach and its ability to forge meaningful international alliances.
