		MBABANE, Oct 16 (AFP) - Africa's last absolute monarch, King Mswati III of Swaziland, is still revered by many of his subjects, but has reached a political crossroads as opposition and international pressure mounts for change in the tiny country wedged between South Africa and Mozambique.
		Swaziland has a relatively well-developed infrastructure, built during an economic boom in the 1980s, when international economic sanctions against neighboring South Africa gave it a comparative advantage in attracting foreign direct investment.
		While King Mswati is under considerable political pressure, the monarchys enduring popularity means that he is unlikely to see the kind of upheaval that toppled other totalitarian regimes in the region in the 1990s.
