[edit] Lesotho is not an enclave

Enclaves/exclaves belong to other countries. Lesotho is entirely surrounded by South Africa, but is not an enclave. Compare to list of enclaves./exclaves in wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.109.118.169 (talk) 11:54, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid you are mistaken. Lesotho is an enclave within South Africa but it is not an exclave of another country. See Enclave_and_exclave#Enclaved_countries Roger (talk) 15:46, 21 June 2010 (UTC)


[edit] "generally close ties with Ireland."

While this statement is sourced, the source is a page on the Irish Aid website, which describes the various projects of Irish Aid in Lesotho. I don't think that is strong enough for the statement that Lesotho maintains "generally close ties with Ireland" which to me implies that these ties are stronger and more significant that those Lesotho has with other countries. I think it should be rephrased to something like "Irish Aid, the international development arm of the Irish government, has a number of projects in and connections with Lesotho" —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeamusSweeney (talkcontribs) 14:55, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] HIV

Article states that "The program is helping to combat two of the key drivers of the HIV/AIDS epidemic: poverty and gender inequality." This has no support and looks like feminist propaganda (if there are more males with HIV it´s OK, if there are more females it's gender inequality). Will wait for comments before correcting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.120.157.119 (talk) 11:38, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Here is a source that explains the link - http://www.hsrc.ac.za/Media_Release-216.phtml - and no its not as simplistic as your assumption that it's just propaganda. Your statement "if there are more males with HIV it´s OK, if there are more females it's gender inequality" just shows your bias and ignorance.
Basically gender inequality makes it very hard for women to 1. refuse sexual intercourse, and 2. insist that the man uses a condom. Roger (talk) 06:59, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned references in Lesotho

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lesotho's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "report":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 13:19, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Travel documents

What does "poor travel documents" mean? And why does the section on Politics quote someone on passports without having explained previously that some issue involving passports exists? The result is that it isn't clear what the person is commenting on. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:24, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
