Tiny Lesotho votes in latest test of fragile democracy


Voters queue to cast their votes at a polling station in Semonkong, Lesotho, Saturday, June 3, 2017. Analysts believe the results, which could take days to count, will likely lead to the formation of another fragile governing coalition. South Africa, whose territory surrounds Lesotho, has played a leading role in mediating among factions in the nation of two million people. The military denies any intention to intervene if Mosisili loses the election, the Lesotho Times newspaper reported. Lesotho is a critical source of water for parched South Africa, and many of its citizens seek employment in mines and other industries there.
