Brutality shows Swazi police's 'true colours'

[dArKeR]

Swaziland blew a showcase international opportunity this week, when police trampled and beat to death a demonstrator in front of the world’s media.

This nasty denouement followed months of expensive preparations by King Mswati III for a gathering of world leaders and equally fervent plans by pro-democracy movements in Swaziland to capitalise on the event.

The protesters maintain that undemocratic Swaziland is an inappropriate venue for the Global 2003 Smart Partnership International Dialogue. This forum, under Commonwealth auspices, has been meeting since 1995 to discuss cooperation among small developing countries.
