Lesotho inquiry
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Lesotho's Prime Minister, Ntsu Mokhehle, who is facing a mutiny by disaffected army troops who killed his deputy, said his government would not use force to bring them back into line, Reuter reports from Maseru. A commission of inquiry will investigate the action and an earlier revolt in January. On Thursday disaffected troops shot dead the Deputy Prime Minister, Selometsi Baholo, and briefly detained four other ministers.
