Lesotho

Lesotho's media scans a chaotic world — Congo's Ebola and protests, Gaza war-crimes findings, Panama Canal drought, Trump's visa fights — while at home it fixates on procurement scandals at a flagship hospital, insurance payouts, solar power wins, and Olympic and swimming-pool drama. The tone is a small, landlocked nation watching global disorder from the sidelines while quietly auditing its own institutions.
