Eswatini is in South Africa, on the very south of the continent and only 50 miles from the ocean. It is green and mountainous. He didn't get dropped into the middle of the Sahara, like I was imagining, unfortunately.
BUT MY QUESTION IS THIS: He's not being put into a prison down there, right? He's just being released into the city. What's to stop him from catching the next flight back?
Eswatini is slightly larger than Connecticutt, but has a population of only 1.25 million. The largest city, Manzini, has a population of only 110,537. I think the technical term for such an environment is "the boondocks." English is spoken. He will have to learn "Where can I get water?" It is easier to get taken there than it is to leave.
With what ticket? He will be closely watched. Walking out is not really feasible. He certainly will not be able to walk far from where he might be fed. A bounty on his head would mean death (bounty hunters would easily err on the side of convenience).
You know he's got a million Dems and Congressmen who will wire him the money, or pay someone in his sphere to go buy his ticket and take him to the airport. I bet he's not there more than a day or two. All he needs to do is make a phone call.
With what phone? Over what kind of telephone system? You don't appreciate how out of the way Eswatini is. How do you suppose the money would get to him? How do you suppose he would clear exit through the airport? Passport, much? You are imagining that Eswatini is like Rhode Island. Compared to Eswatini, Rhode Island is like Metropolis. The wildlands have lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. As for cold-blooded life, they have crocodiles, cobras, and mambas. No, he will be there as long as the King permits him to live there. A little bit of food deprivation and he will be quite compliant. Africans may be primitive in their outlook, but it means they have utterly no trace of or patience for woke mercy. When they take a prisoner, he does not escape them.

I don't get it. Can anyone explain?

Below is a photo of the capital city in Eswatini. Looks more civilized than you suggest:
