MASERU—Lesotho Prime Minister Thomas Thabane’s coalition fell apart in parliament on May 11, spelling the end of his tenure and paving the way toward a resolution of a political crisis that has engulfed the southern African kingdom since late 2019.
National Assembly Speaker Sephiri Motanyane announced the collapse of his governing majority and said Thabane, 80, would have to step down by May 22.
