Welcome to the WikiProject Eswatini! This group was formed to better organize articles on Eswatini, previously Swaziland, in a spirit of cooperation.

Scope

This group includes within its scope all articles related to Swaziland, its cities, geography, transportation, culture, history and so on. It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on Swaziland in a fair and accurate manner. All of these articles should be contained within the Category:Swaziland or one of its subcategories.
