swaziland: Mswati says he'll abide by court orders

The Swaziland monarchy has retracted a statement that caused a mass resignation of the country's appeals court judges last year and plunged the tiny southern African country into a constitutional crisis. The six judges, who are all South Africans, had said they would return to the bench only if King Mswati III undertook to comply with court orders, which the monarchy repeatedly refused to do until now.
