ESWATINI-POLITICS-HISTORY

Thulani Maseko, human rights lawyer and activist, looks on as he gives an interview to Agence France-Presse on September 22, 2018 in Lobamba, eSwatini. - On April 19, 2018, King Mswati III -- one of the world's last absolute rulers -- celebrated 50 years since his country's independence from British colonial rule by announcing that it would now be known as eSwatini ("land of the Swazis"). The monarch's decision, taken without warning or consultation, revealed much about his autocratic rule and about eSwatini's recent history -- as well as posing an immediate logistical challenge as the name change came into effect.
