Eswatini - Two migrants deported from the US to Eswatini have returned to their home countries, the southern African kingdom said Tuesday.

The men – from Mauritania and the Democratic Republic of Congo – were among the 30 people deported to Eswatini since July of last year under a $5-million agreement with Washington.

The Mauritanian national, who arrived in July, requested voluntary repatriation so he could reunite with his family, acting government spokesperson Thabile Mdluli said in a statement. The man left Eswatini on Saturday.

The DRC national, who arrived in March, returned home on Sunday, Mdluli said.

Several other deported people have also requested voluntary repatriation to "reunite with their families," the government said, adding that it was working with relevant authorities to facilitate the requests.

"These repatriations form part of the ongoing arrangements concerning Third Country Nationals temporarily residing in the Kingdom," the government said.

Eswatini is one of several African countries that have agreed to deals to accept migrants deported under President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

The country's government confirmed last year it had received around $5.1 million from the US to accept 160 deported people. The funds were meant to strengthen its border and migration management capacity.

Two other men deported to the kingdom, a Jamaican and a Cambodian, were previously repatriated. Several others are in a high-security prison, where they are being held without charge.

Eswatini says the deported people are only in the country temporarily, as it expects them to be returned to their countries of origin.
