Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>His Majesty King Mswati III has denounced terrorism as a crime against humanity.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to the International Criminal Court (ICC), crimes against humanity are acts committed, as part of a \u2018widespread or systematic attack directed against civilian population, such as murder, deportation, torture and rape.\u2019<\/p>\n

The ICC states that it prosecutes the perpetrators even if the crimes were not committed in times of war. Meanwhile, in his Speech from the Throne, which he delivered yesterday, the King called upon all mankind and friends of the kingdom, in particular to condemn the acts of assassinations that have resulted in loss of human lives.<\/p>\n

The head of State was officially opening the fifth session of the 11th Parliament.<\/p>\n

Assassinations<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cSponsoring terrorism is a crime against humanity. We call upon all mankind and the friends of the kingdom in particular, to condemn these acts of assassinations where we have lost many lives,\u201d said the King. He said he was certain that no one wanted to live in a country where government structures were continuously destroyed, homes were being burnt and people\u2019s lives were being lost.<\/p>\n

The King beseeched the Almighty God to forgive those who were causing terror in the kingdom with the aim of reversing all the gains that emaSwati had worked for since they gained independence in 1968. He urged the nation to promote the spirit of living in harmony with one another.\u201cLet us guard and cherish this jewel as a nation for the benefit of our future generations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaSwati, may each one of us direct our focus towards the activities lined-up for this year. Let us come together and be united in one objective of promoting a peaceful environment.\u201d His Majesty thanked all emaSwati for cooperating with the government in the development of all sectors of the society. He said the economic achievements of the country would not have been possible if the citizens did not play their part.<\/p>\n

Aspirations<\/b><\/p>\n

The head of State urged the nation to continue contributing meaningfully to the peace and development of the kingdom, as they pursued the aspirations of the national vision. The King said the country\u2019s socio-economic development aspirations for a better future could only succeed if they were firmly grounded in peace.<\/p>\n

He advised emaSwati to make 2023 a year of turnaround, abounding with peace, tranquillity and success in the beautiful kingdom.<\/p>\n
