Following the just ended 37 Summit of SADC from 19th to20th August 2017, speculation is rife that, there will be a military intervention in Lesotho, as a consequence of assisting the government of Lesotho to implement paragraph 19 of the communique which demands a road map and security reforms. While the Communique did not even mention any semblance of military intervention, it would appear that, an interview given by Lesotho Foreign Minister Honourable Lesego Makhothi, had put sparks on this speculations. It must be recalled that SADC is founded on sovereign equality and peaceful resolution of conflicts and brotherhood. It has been alleged that Minister Makhothi in one interview, he said that, “if there will be any form of resistance, SADC will basically be in the clear picture of what is happening so that we don’t implement, after implementation when we hit the impasse then we go back to SADC and say we have a problem; we want SADC to be right there when we start the implementations process”. Whatever the meaning of this allegation, it is clear that, some people are not comfortable with the statement not unless the Minister disassociate himself with it, more so when we recall the unpalatable seeds of the 1998 military intervention in Lesotho. It is therefore important to remind ourselves about how military intervention is conducted in international relations.
