Why Is Africa a Convenient Dumpsite?

Accept 160 deportees for a $5.1 million payment.
If Africa is a dumping ground, cash is an enticement.
Funds, foreign aid and diplomatic ties, Washington’s ship.
Some deportees have criminal records or unverified citizenship.
An exchange that smells of a covert financial and diplomatic deal
after home nations have refused to accept them back. It is a real seal!

Deportees from Cuba, Jamaica, Laos, Vietnam and Yemen
are dumped in Eswatini, yet some of them are truly dangerous.
The winner—Trump trying to guilt trip them into saying amen?
The king? The government? But the human rightists are furious!
