US Deportations Expand: Sierra Leone has agreed to take in hundreds of West Africans deported from the United States, with the first flight due May 20 carrying 25 people from Senegal, Ghana, Guinea and Nigeria under a deal allowing up to 300 ECOWAS citizens a year. Rights Concerns: The arrangement mirrors earlier US transfers to African states that drew criticism over legal grounds and whether deportees can be forced back to their home countries despite US court protections. Eswatini Diplomacy Spotlight: A fresh debate is reignited by commentary on Taiwan President Lai Ching-te’s secretive trip to Eswatini, with China again warning against Taiwan’s international engagements. Health Push: South Africa’s HPV debate is back in focus as calls grow for vaccinating boys too, not only girls. Local Industry & Jobs: Eswatini has commissioned a new metal foundry at Sidvokodvo worth over E750 million, targeting 500+ jobs and scrap-to-export processing.
