Lesotho has a long history of political instability during which she has experienced high levels of factionalism, political tension, and violent conflict especially during and after elections since independence in October 1966. The resulting power struggles have boiled over into assassinations, an attempted coup, snap elections, the decline of Civil Military Relations (CMR) and the collapse of governments and coalitions. In this book, the author provides details of the complexities of this destabilisation and the subsequent intervention by the SADC (Southern African Development Community) in the affairs of its member state. He sheds light on possible causes and identifies some of the role players and strategies which have exacerbated this volatility. The author leaves us in no doubt that Lesotho needs urgent reform in order to curb the violence and disputes which have plagued her contemporary history, but when even the intercession of the SADC is insufficient to bring this about it begs the question, "Have the many men and women killed by the security forces for their political views died in vain?" Can the "Kingdom In The Sky" rise above dysfunctional partisanship, begin the vertical climb towards peace and, for the sake of its fallen heroes and heroines, become the"Lesotho We Want?"
