LESOTHO’S military seized two police stations yesterday in its capital Maseru.
The country’s prime minister said the action amounted to a coup, but an army spokesman said the soldiers were only securing the country.
Political tensions have been high in the tiny kingdom since June when there was a power struggle after Prime Minister Thomas Thabane suspended parliament to dodge a vote of no confidence.
