US President Donald Trump said, “No one is hearing by” African Lesoto – a comment to him She was shocked by her government.

It is a small country in South Africa that consists almost entirely of the mountains and is completely surrounded by South Africa.

Here are nine things that must be known about the country:

The Kingdom of Lesotho is mostly of the highlands, where many villages can only be reached on horseback, on foot or light plane.

It is known as “Kingdom in Heaven”, which is the only independent country in the world that is above 1000 meters (3,281 feet) in height, according to Britannica. Its lowest point in 1400 meters.

It is known that it has one of the most intimidated aircraft skills in the world to land on – Matekane Air Force has a short runway and with long drops on both sides.

The Business Insider website describes the airport from the airport as “the same thing as the birds are removed from the nest to learn to fly.”

Lesotho has been completely moved by South Africa, but separated by the forbidden mountain ranges.

Many of its lands are not available for agriculture, as its population exposes a lack of food and income dependence on jobs in South Africa. Over the decades, thousands of workers were forced due to the lack of job opportunities at home to find work in South Africa.

Lesoto, who number more than two million, shares some cultural and linguistic similarities with South Africa. Their language, Sesotho, is also one of 11 official languages ​​in South Africa. In fact, more people in South Africa speak – 4.6 million – more than Lizoto.

Resources are rare in Lesoto – as a result of the harsh environment of the height plateau and the limited agricultural space in the lowlands.

The largest resource is water – known locally as white gold – which is exported to South Africa. Diamonds are another major export.

When you think about skiing and skiing, you may imagine snow slopes in Europe and North America.

But Lesoto has made himself known in the SnowSports scene. It has the highest ski resort in sub -Saharan Africa, one of the handful of the continent.

Afriski is located at an altitude of 3222 meters above sea level, and it rises in the Maloti Mountains in Lesoto and attracts visitors from Africa and abroad.

People are referred to as Lesotho as Basotho.

Some of the cultural elements associated with people of Basto are blankets and traditional marshopia, known as Mukorotlo. The hat is a national symbol and appears in the middle of the country’s flag.

The blankets are made of thick wool, with their complex and colored patterns, each of which tells a different story from the history of the people of Basto. Wearing them as a thunderbolt on special occasions and gives them gifts.

Lesotho has one of the highest rates of HIV spread in the world, with one in five adult people who live with HIV, and more infection for every 100,000 people more than most other countries, including neighboring Namibia, Botswana and Iswatini.

The US government has committed nearly a billion dollars to help the country deal with HIV since 2006, including prevention, care and treatment services, according to the US State Department.

Like the United Kingdom, Lesuto is a constitutional monarchy. This means that although it has a royal family, the elected Prime Minister runs the country.

Prince Seeso from Lesoto – the younger brother of the current king III – is a close friend with Prince Harry in the United Kingdom.

The couple prepared a charity in Lesotho – Sentebale, which means “forgetting me”. The organization works with local communities in the country at the popular level, helping young HIV/AIDS.

Prince Harry went for the first time to Lesoto when he was 19 years old and has returned to the country several times since then.

Jeans have long been associated with the American West, but at the present time, many of the husbands worn by the United States came from the middle of the road worldwide, in Lesoto.

Lesothho jeans for famous American brands such as Levi’s and WRANGLER has made in recent years. As a result, Lesoto became known as the “Denim Capital of Africa”.

Not only is Jeans – Lesoto is one of the largest clothing exporters in sub -Saharan Africa in general to the United States.

Last year, Lesotho exported 237 million dollars (184 million pounds) of clothes and textiles to the United States through the African Growth and Opportunities Law, which allows African countries to send some goods to the United States without paying taxes.

It was ranked second with the value of the goods that were exported according to the deal.

Many clothing and textile factories in Lesoto are owned by Chinese and Taiwanese immigrants.

The mountainous Kingdom has the highest suicide rate in the world, with 87.5 people per 100,000 population their lives every year, according to the United Nations World Health Organization.

This is approximately 10 times the global average and more than twice the country with the second highest rate, Guyana, which has about 40.

There is no single reason for this horrific census – experts refer to the abuse of drugs and alcohol, lack of function and lack of consulting in the field of mental health.
