According to the statement, a Yemeni citizen, a Belizean national, and a Laotian citizen left the territory between September 8 and October 4, all destined for their respective countries of origin.

Eswatini authorities said these returns were voluntary and expressed their gratitude for the collaboration of the governments and organizations involved, whose cooperation allowed for the orderly organization of the migrants’ transit.

The government emphasized that it maintains ongoing contact with authorities in other countries to address new requests for voluntary repatriation and expedite procedures related to the return of foreign nationals temporarily residing in Eswatini.

Eswatini also reaffirmed its commitment to guaranteeing the protection of the human rights, dignity, and well-being of migrants during their stay in the country before their return to their countries of origin.

Eswatini is one of twelve African countries that receive migrants deported from the United States under agreements with the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. Other participating countries include Rwanda, Ghana, Liberia, Cameroon, and South Sudan.

However, several human rights organizations have expressed concern about these agreements, arguing that they could expose migrants to risks of arbitrary detention, ill-treatment, or forced returns to places where they could face persecution or torture.
