The Communist Party of Swaziland (CPS) stands firm in its position against the invitation extended to the so-called president of Taiwan, whom we recognize as a separatist leader. We assert that such a figure is not welcome in Swaziland and that their presence undermines the principles of sovereignty and international diplomacy.

As we approach the 40th anniversary of Mswati's absolute rule, we express our deep concern over the celebration of a regime that has consistently undermined democracy in our region. This milestone is not a cause for celebration but rather a reminder of the ongoing struggles for democratic governance and human rights in Swaziland.

Reports indicate that Mswati is making desperate attempts to persuade Mozambique and South Africa to grant airspace for this illegitimate guest. This is not a matter of negotiation; it is an abuse of power aimed at sidestepping the fundamental principles of the One China policy and the UN resolutions regarding China's internal affairs.

We are also aware of an advance team comprised of military and police personnel from Taiwan, scheduled to arrive in Swaziland on April 14. It has come to our attention that this team has been granted access to Mozambique's airspace under misleading pretenses that they are a medical team, failing to disclose the nature of the prohibited equipment they are carrying.

We call upon the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to remain vigilant against Mswati’s manipulations. His actions pose a threat to the fragile stability of our region and risk turning Swaziland into a conduit for imperialist interests that sow discord and unrest.

The world is already grappling with the consequences of imperialist wars driven by greed and devastation. We cannot afford to allow any loose ends that could instigate further turmoil.

In light of these developments, we urge Mozambique and South Africa to stand firm and deny airspace to the Taiwan separatist leader as per Mswati’s instructions. Mswati’s celebration of 40 years of absolute monarchy, coupled with the invitation to the Taiwanese leader, constitutes a violation of peace and stability in our region.

Democracy leaders of the world must shun this disgrace celebration as a gesture of support to the struggle for democracy in Swaziland, observe the principles of democracy. The cause for democracy in Swaziland will soon win, our history will be written anew
