	OJPCR 2.2: Military Intervention in Lesotho

		The 1986 military coup therefore ushered in the third phase in Lesotho’s political development — the era of military authoritarianism between 1986 and 1993 that was a continuation of deteriorating civil-military relations as the military assumed executive functions.
		The latter was exemplified by the decision to increase the salaries of military councillors, ministers and deputy ministers in March 1991.
		Although the military had managed to dethrone the King and to install a new King, and the last military administration was reluctant to tamper with the decision of its predecessor, the issue remained unresolved and was to cause all manner of problems for the country’s civilian administration.
