Margaret Kimberley · African Monarch on the Ropes

More than a score of people have been killed in protests largely led by the Communist Party of Swaziland, “which has considerable influence in the opposition Youth Congress,” said Abayomi, who was interviewed by Sean Blackmon of Sputnik's program, By Any Means Necessary.
