THE Communist Party of Swaziland has called for a “revolutionary people’s war” to overthrow the autocratic regime of King Mswati III.

The rallying cry was issued by the party after it accused the royal dictator of opposing meaningful dialogue and “threatening to continue his brutality against all those calling for democracy in Swaziland.”

On Saturday, the embattled king ordered the armed forces to crush all forms of dissent in the African nation, now known officially as Eswatini.
