The internet has been shut off and a curfew imposed in Eswatini, the southern African kingdom formerly known as Swaziland.

Security forces are on high alert as protesters demanding political reforms have vowed to step up their demonstrations.

A journalist told the BBC that overnight there were violent confrontations in the city of Manzini and that the country’s borders and airport remain closed.

Days of protests have left several people in hospital, businesses in the capital, Mbabane, remain closed after some, including those linked to the king, were destroyed.
