LESOTHO:
There's a surprising political development in Lesotho. The prime minister has asked the King to dissolve parliament.

Dissolution of Lesotho's parliament takes effect today. Elections in the kingdom were not expected to take place until April. The government, however, lost its majority when 18 members recently broke away to form a new party.

A decision on when to hold a general election will be made on Wednesday.
