There are unconfirmed reports that protesters went on the rampage and set fire to several shops in Matsapha.
Several people have also been injured during the protests.
a developing situation, so the OP is brief (will update with more info as more things become available)
but basically, King Mswati III of eSwatini (the country that most of us know as Swaziland) has fled the country after pro-democracy protests turned violent. this country is one of the few remaining absolute monarchies in the world, currently led by the House of Dlamini. Protestors demand many things, but the key demands are the legalization of political parties and an elected Prime Minister. (Mswati, for obvious reasons, is opposed)
so, NSG, do we think this will turn into a toppling of the monarchy? or will this all just settle down in a few weeks and the status quo gets maintained?
my understanding is that a catalyst of the violence was the king issuing a decree banning delivery of petitions.
So, some protestors rioted and his first reaction was to run away? Sounds like a pretty bitch king if you ask me.

Members of the Royal Eswatini Police Services (REPS) have allegedly invaded the Good Shepherd Hospital’s morgue searching for the bodies of protesters who were shot during the pro-democracy protests.
Mayibongwe Masangane, the Secretary General of the Swaziland Democratic Nurses Union (SWADNU) confirmed the matter adding that it was ethically wrong for the police to get access to the bodies of the victims without their relatives.
“This matter has reached our attention, it is ethically wrong for the police to view bodies without involving the affected family members, we have also received reports that they also invaded the Raleigh Fitkin Memorial (RFM) Hospital grabbing bullets from injured victims. Even here, it shows that they are still pushing their agenda of concealing evidence. Nurses are also advocates for justice, it is also wrong for government and the police to intimidate them since those who died in the hands of police also need justice”, said the SWADNU Secretary General.
According to a source close to the matter, yesterday (Friday) evening, a group of police officers got access to the hospital’s morgue with the intention of examining the bodies of the victims of the recent protests.
“What made us suspicious is that the police came alone without the family members of the victims, we suspect that they are trying to conceal evidence. We were warned not to leak this information since it’s a top secret”, said the source.
[...] Questions were sent to Phindile Vilakati, the eSwatini Police Spokesperson, however, she had not responded at the time of compiling this report.
When reached for comments, Zwelakhe Moahloli, the Communications Officer of Good Shepherd Hospital said he was not aware of the matter.
“I’m not aware of this matter, but under normal circumstances an autopsy is done in the presence of relatives. I cannot reveal any details regarding our clients since as a hospital we are guided by ethics”, he said.

The 2004 Equatorial Guinea coup d'état attempt, also known as the Wonga Coup,[1] failed to replace President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo with exiled opposition politician Severo Moto. Mercenaries organised by mainly British financiers were arrested in Zimbabwe on 7 March 2004 before they could carry out the plot. Prosecutors alleged that Moto was to be installed as the new president in return for preferential oil rights to corporations affiliated to those involved with the coup.[2] The incident received international media attention after the reported involvement of Sir Mark Thatcher in funding the coup, for which he was convicted and fined in South Africa.

I think my understanding of how Leninism actually functioned in practice is probably significantly more useful than whatever propagandistic version you've swallowed. Anyone who denies Lenin was a dictator isn't worth taking seriously.

On the contrary, anyone who believes that Lenin was a dictator isn't worth taking seriously.
If you know your dates properly, you will remember that the Lenin ruled for just two years following the devastating Civil War. In such a situation, you can not possibly expect a direct democracy along the lines that Communism espouses. Had he lived longer, you and the entire so-called democratic USA will have seen a proper example of what truly a democracy is. If you had read any miniscule amount of Lenin's work, you will understand that Lenin's primary goal was the establishment of a Communist society, with direct democracy and very little(to none) government interference.
Lenin was one of the greatest advocate of democracy and people's power that has ever lived, and the practical situation under which he and the Bolsheviks had to work following the Russian Civil War does not do any justice to him and his ideals.
