Lesotho's Prime Minister Thomas Thabane, who is accused of murdering his estranged wife, has deployed the army on the streets of the capital to restore order.
It is surrounded entirely by South Africa, where hundreds of people have tested positive for the coronavirus.The country did not have testing capabilities until last month when 20,000 test kits were donated by Alibaba founder Jack Ma.So far 18 have come back negative.There are three tests Australia will have to pass before the restrictions end
Police rejected reports suggesting that senior police officials, including the national commissioner spearheading Mr Thabane's criminal case, had been detained by the army. "The Prime Minister executed his powers in an arbitrary and irrational manner … It is ordered that the prorogation proclaimed by the Prime Minister is reviewed, corrected and set aside," Justice Sakoane Sakoane said.
