	Lesotho - History and Politics
		Despite the context of democratization and a new political beginning for Lesotho, the election was really about the resolution of the country's bitter political history, and about providing the electorate with the opportunity to pass judgement on the outcome and consequences of the aborted election of 1970.
		The ruling party in Lesotho, however, by virtue of its numerical domination in the assembly was able to pass a parliamentary motion congratulating the government on its action in inviting SADC intervention to restore law and order.
		Given the political climate over the past year or so, this task could be almost impossible to achieve in the short term, because the run-up to the election has been marked by continued feuding within as well as between the leading parties.

	OJPCR 2.2: Military Intervention in Lesotho
		The Lesotho police had lost control of the situation and, as far as the SANDF was concerned, there were fears that a military coup was being planned.
		These critical claims and viewpoints pertaining to the political handling of the operation seemed to have negatively influenced the media's general attitude towards the military or operational aspects of the operation - although some of the criticism cannot be slated as totally unjustified and unfounded.
		However, from a political perspective South Africa involved itself in the internal politics of Lesotho and it is yet to be seen whether the operation has paved the way for fresh elections in pursuit of a long-term political goal and settlement.
