| Description |
Clash between Lesotho Defence Forces and two soldiers that were former bodyguards for Lesotho's Prime Minister Tom Thabane. The former bodyguards refused to stop at a security checkpoint and started shooting at Lesotho Defence Force soliders controlling access to the SADC offices near the presidential palace. LDF soldiers returned fire, the two soldiers/fomer bodyguards were wounded and one private security guard was shot and killed. The former bodyguards are thought to be responsible for tipping off Thabane of the failed coup in August 2014, which allowed Thabane to flee his residence before it was attacked by suspected army soldiers. |
