Maseru (Lesotho) (AFP) – Voters in the southern African kingdom of Lesotho cast their ballots as polling stations open for its parliamentary elections. But hopes are low that the outcome will end Lesotho’s long-running political gridlock. The country has been governed for the past decade by a string of coalition governments that have proved fractious and frail, and no premier has served out a full five-year term. IMAGES
