Political Crisis Grips Lesotho

Police vs military forces

Political tensions continue to besiege Lesotho as the country’s police were told to abandon their posts to avoid being targeted in attacks.

Earlier this week, Lesotho’s military disarmed two stations leading to the exchange of gunfire between the military, youths and police which injured one soldier and four policemen.

The country’s military forces siezed control of the police stations when they heard that the Police will arm the demonstrators.

Political crisis has plagued the nation since June this year when there was a power struggle after Prime Minister Thomas Thabane suspended Parliament to dodge a vote of no confidence.
