Regional mediators will reinstall him in power after an apparent coup last Saturday.

Thomas Thabane fled Lesotho in fear of his life when the military surrounded his home in Maseru and attacked police headquarters.

His advisor Samonyane Ntsekele says the premier will be back in Lesotho today.

Thabane was in Pretoria yesterday where President Jacob Zuma and representatives of SADC brokered a deal to end the crisis.
The military deny their action amounts to a coup and the Lesotho Congress for Democracy, which is Thabane’s partner in a coalition government, denies trying to oust him.

As the prime minister moves to end the suspension
of parliament, SADC’s sending an observer team
to the mountain kingdom to monitor political, defence and security developments.
