Today my office is observing what a colleague cleverly entitled “a political snow day.” The opposition party in Lesotho is holding a strike or stayaway to raise awareness for something to do with the last parliamentary elections. (I really couldn’t tell you exactly what the issues are.) While CF isn’t observing the stayaway, we are working from home today because it could be a sensitive security situation in town. Here are a few headlines from the local papers:
