Forty five innocent people - travellers and airport workers - had died. The scene resembled that of a horror movie: it was terrible. I know that throughout the centuries Istanbul has always been a bitterly contested city and she has changed hands many times from the Greek to the Ottoman empires. She has changed identities in the process, from Byzantium to Constantinople to Istanbul; not least because of her ideal strategic location as a vital link between Asia and Europe as well as the Mediterranean and the Black seas, and therefore is a major artery of wealth and power. It was then as it is now. But then again, an extremely significant piece of news that with- out doubt must have gone unnoticed by most except those of us in the aviation industry, came through: Istanbul had reopened the airport and was back in full operation mode within a world record of 24 hours after a catastrophe of this magnitude. Wow! The people of this great hub, the home of the modern day Turkish Airlines, had refused to be intimidated by bandits and to be paralysed by fear. Talking of the unassailable spirit of the people of Istanbul, WB Sabelo Dlamini - Editor Yeats penning his “Sailing to the Byzantium” poem in 1926, wrote that Istanbul is that kind of a city whose people remain courageous even as their heart is fastened to their dying body; the kind that this publication we demonstrate how the Authority is linking the have the ability to exist in “the artifice of eternity”.

    © Lonely Planet Publications 597 S w a z i l a n d Embedded between Mozambique and South Africa, the kingdom of Swaziland is one of the smallest countries in Africa. What the country lacks in size it makes up for in its rich culture and heritage, and relaxed ambience. With its laid-back, friendly people and relative lack of racial animosity, it’s a complete change of pace from its larger neighbours. SWAZILAND Visitors can enjoy rewarding and delightfully low-key wildlife watching, adrenaline-boost- ing activities, stunning mountain panoramas and lively traditions. Swaziland also boasts superb walking and high-quality handicrafts. Overseeing the kingdom is King Mswati III, one of three remaining monarchs in Africa. The monarchy has its critics, but combined with the Swazis’ distinguished history of resistance to the Boers, the British and the Zulus, it has fostered a strong sense of national pride, and local culture is flourishing. This is exemplified in its national festivals – the Incwala ceremony and the Umhlanga (Reed) dance (see the boxed text, p607 ). The excellent road system makes Swaziland easy to get around. Accommodation includes a decent network of hostels, family-friendly hotels and upscale retreats. Many travellers make a flying visit on their way to South Africa’s Kruger National Park, but it’s well worth lingering here if you can.

  • Travel Patterns and Demographic Characteristics of Malaria Cases In
    Tejedor‐Garavito et al. Malar J (2017) 16:359 DOI 10.1186/s12936-017-2004-8 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Travel patterns and demographic characteristics of malaria cases in Swaziland, 2010–2014 Natalia Tejedor‐Garavito1*† , Nomcebo Dlamini2†, Deepa Pindolia4, Adam Soble4, Nick W. Ruktanonchai1,3, Victor Alegana1,3, Arnaud Le Menach4, Nyasatu Ntshalintshali4, Bongani Dlamini4, David L. Smith5, Andrew J. Tatem1,3 and Simon Kunene2 Abstract Background: As Swaziland progresses towards national malaria elimination, the importation of parasites into recep- tive areas becomes increasingly important. Imported infections have the potential to instigate local transmission and sustain local parasite reservoirs. Methods: Travel histories from Swaziland’s routine surveillance data from January 2010 to June 2014 were extracted and analysed. The travel patterns and demographics of rapid diagnostic test (RDT)-confrmed positive cases identi- fed through passive and reactive case detection (RACD) were analysed and compared to those found to be negative through RACD. Results: Of 1517 confrmed cases identifed through passive surveillance, 67% reported travel history. A large propor- tion of positive cases reported domestic or international travel history (65%) compared to negative cases (10%). The primary risk factor for malaria infection in Swaziland was shown to be travel, more specifcally international travel to Mozambique by 25- to 44-year old males, who spent on average 28 nights away. Maputo City, Inhambane and Gaza districts were the most likely travel destinations in Mozambique, and 96% of RDT-positive international travellers were either Swazi (52%) or Mozambican (44%) nationals, with Swazis being more likely to test negative. All international travellers were unlikely to have a bed net at home or use protection of any type while travelling.

  • Country Profile: Swaziland
    Country Profile: Swaziland Autonomy for the Swazis of southern Africa was guaranteed by the British in the late 19th century; independence was granted in 1968. Student and labor unrest during the 1990s pressured King MSWATI III, the world's last absolute monarch, to grudgingly allow political reform and greater democracy, although he has backslid on these promises in recent years. A constitution came into effect in 2006, but the legal status of political parties remains unclear. The African United Democratic Party tried unsuccessfully to register as an official political party in mid 2006. Talks over the constitution broke down between the government and progressive groups in 2007. Swaziland recently surpassed Botswana as the country with the world's highest known HIV/AIDS prevalence rate. COUNTRY OVERVIEW Country Name: Eswatini Continent: Africa Capital City: Mbabane Boundary Countries: Mozambique, South Africa Recommended Hospitals in Capital: Main Cities: Lavumisa, Piggs Peak, Big Bend, Manzini, Mhlume Country Size: 17,364 sq km Population: 1,370,424, note: estimates for this country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS COUNTRY GENERAL INFORMATION Language: English (official, government business conducted in English), siSwati (official) Currency: Swaziland Lilangeni (szl) Predominant Zionist (a blend of Christianity and indigenous ancestral worship), Roman Catholic, Muslim, other (includes Religions: Anglican, Bahai, Methodist, Mormon, Jewish) National Independence Day, 6 September (1968) - from UK Holidays: Economic In this small, landlocked economy, subsistence agriculture occupies approximately 70% of the population.
