Communist Party of Swaziland condemns military storming of student campus
THE Communist Party of Swaziland (CPS) called for the establishment of people’s defence militia today after the country’s armed forces stormed a college campus and attacked striking students.
It said the attack, which left many requiring hospital treatment, was part of the regime’s “desperate attempt to cling to power.”
Soldiers entered the grounds of William Pitcher College in Manzini on Sunday, firing tea rgas into students’ rooms and launching violent assaults that left many with broken limbs.
