Lesotho went to poll within five years after the elections following the recommendation of SADC after the prorogation of the parliament by the then Prime Minister. Following the elections, we have seen unbearable pain, suffering, torture and inhumanity actions against the Citizens, mainly among the LDF and opposition supporters. The Human Rights does not exist in Dr Mosisili’s Rule.
The Ministry of Defence (Lesotho Defence Force) which the highest budget than any ministry is terrorising the nation under the guidance and supervision of Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Does Lesotho really need the armed forces?

The Majesty King Letsie III’s Judiciary
The judiciary of the Kingdom of Lesotho is not operating as an independent institution of Law. There are high profile courts cases involving deputy prime minister, minister and LDF top soldiers which no judges are free to sit on, their lives are on the knife edge.

There are also soldiers who have fled the country following the appointment of Lt. Gen Kamoli since 2012, the mystery remains unknown as to why Kamoli is so much feared.
Dr Mosisili, we want our leaders and all our brothers and sisters who are in exile because of your soldiers back home, to be with their loved ones and with no harm or prosecution against your false plot of mutiny.
Dr Mosisili, the world now knows what you and your government have been doing to an unarmed civilians, your government has been cold hands murderers of Basotho nation.

We urge the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, U.S Secretary of State, United Nations Secretary General, European Union, African Union, Southern African Development Community, International Criminal Court and United Nations Human Rights and other development institutions to intervene to help the local NGO’s to ensure that the situation doesn’t continue to deteriorate any further.
Suggestions to resolving Lesotho’s situation
Removal of Lt Gen Kamoli from the commander position of LDF
Remove DPM Mothejoa Metsing for his crimes against humanity and corruption involvement
Ensure that abducted soldiers are released from unlawful prison and no court-martial takes place
Ensure that ALL those who has been taking part in crimes against humanity faces courts of justice
Ensure that all the exiled leaders and soldiers return home and safe
Rehabilitation programme for LDF with the view to instil discipline and remain loyal to the King Letsie III not the politicians
Ensure that LDF gets involved in community development projects as they don’t get engage in any peace keeping missions in Africa and help themselves to develop personal Life skills.
International Community to provide judges for the high profile court cases which involves top government officials including ministers and LDF officials and advise how Lesotho Judiciary can be made independent
Ensure that former Chief Justice Ramolibeli is striped off his judiciary responsibilities following his corruption charges in Swaziland
Due to no Human Rights, UNHR have regular visits/representation in the country to monitor and maintain that peoples have rights to express themselves.

Our country is devoid of rule of law and accountability. We are summarily in military dictatorship. With the marauding soldiers killing people with impunity, our country needs help from the International community.
I am perturbed by allegations that the army ignored two court orders and summon for detained soldiers to appear before SADC commission in a sapce of 10 days.
No government that is entitled to remain as government that rules without Rule of Law and Accountability. The present Lesotho government led by Dr.Pakalitha Mosisili does not respect Rule of Law and there is no Accountability on grave crimes of murder and violation of human rights
We absolutely, critically need peace in this country in order for us to realise any meaningful socio-economic development. The atrocities happening right now, and the total disregard for human dignity and right to life are simply unacceptable! We need the international community's HELP!
I just pray that the army is brought to order before more people are killed. Politics is a civilian affair, however the LDF nowadays seems to forget it's place in the barracks!
