A Jamaican man who was among five migrants deported by the United States to Eswatini has been repatriated to his home country, Eswatini authorities said Monday.
Etoria was repatriated on Sunday with the assistance of the United Nations’ International Organization for Migration, Thabile Mdluli, the Eswatini government’s acting spokesperson, said in a statement.
It said they had been sent to Eswatini because their home countries refused to take them back.
Eswatini, in an apparent contradiction of that, said they were only there in transit and would be sent home.
The U.S. has sent deportees to at least four African countries under the new program: South Sudan, Eswatini, Rwanda and Ghana.
