MBABANE: King Mswati’s pilots have been advised to prioritize their safety and stop flying a dictator as political tension escalates in this tiny Kingdom.
This is contained in a public statement sent to Swaziland News on Tuesday by the Spokesperson of the Swaziland International Solidarity Forces(SISF) Executive Command.
The Spokesperson whose name cannot be revealed for ethical reasons, said as the SISF,they were pleased with the success of the ongoing operations.
“We are pleased that immediately after the brutalisation of the SNUS President by the army, our ground units responded with haste and dealt with a soldier and the police in Mbabane swiftly. Our efforts to degrade the armed forces’ ability to continue carrying out unwarranted attacks against our people will continue. We also welcome the successful operation to undermine Sicalo’s ability to harass communities at will by attacking his helicopter. We warn Mswati’s pilots and cabin crew - think about your safety. Stop flying this dictator around. Choose your lives, choose your loved ones. Punishing the armed forces at any given opportunity is an on-going programme that must be undertaken by any peace-loving Swazi citizen at any time of the day, just like the recent attacks against the police in Manzini. Whilst a cease-fire had been declared by us the past weekend, after the police decided to harass innocent Swalimo members who were handing over a house to an innocent family at Sithobelweni, we had no choice but to enforce discipline swiftly on the same day. The attack at Matsapha against the police must be understood in this context,” reads the statement in part.
King Mswati’s Spokesperson Percy Simelane had not responded at the time of compiling this report.
On another note, Prime Minister Cleopas Dlamini released a statement on Monday and threatened to deal with what he described as terrorism by people threatening the Sovereignty of eSwatini.
The tension escalated in this tiny Kingdom after Mswati unleashed soldiers and the police to shoot and kill dozens of civilians merely for demanding democratic reforms.
King Mswati.
