This sub-Saharan country plans to name itself after US President Trump
A Sub-Saharan country named Swaziland changed its name to eSwatini on April 18th this year. The name change happened during a celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the country’s independence from Britain. As per the report, it will again change its name this week. Can you guess what it would be?
The country was named after the King Mswati III's name. The new name eSwatini meant 'Land of the Swazis'. Once again the country will change its name. This time it would be New Trump York. It is expected that by the end of this week, it would do the honours.
King's close aid aren't happy with this new name and are shocked by his decision. Most of the African countries gave away the colonial name they got before independence. But, King Mswati is going back and taking up an outside rebrand.
eSwatini has the highest rate of HIV in Africa and is very poor. In a hope that the US President Trump will give the foreign aid for the name change. King Mswati III made the announcement of the financial aid but none knew that it would cost them so much.
King Mswati III said,“I am getting all the Trump steaks and Trump wine I can personally consume. Also, I’m getting 5,000 free points on my Trump Casino Card.”
There has not been any official announcement but sources have confirmed that Black Lives Matter can organize massive protests.
