Das Parlament von Lesotho beansprucht die südafrikanische Provinz des Freistaats. Was wäre Ihrer Meinung nach das Ergebnis, wenn diese Landübertragung in Zukunft zulässig wäre?

The Free State Province in South Africa is majority Basotho. These are the same people as the majority of Lesotho. Before colonization these lands were all united, which is where this claim originates from.
The outcome will be Lesotho finding itself on the recieving end of „regime change“ from South Africa which invaded and occupied them in 1998.
Good to know where the next regional conflict is likely to be…
There is no way for Lesotho to enforce this claim and no major power would be interested in backing them. I get the principle and the historical justification but it’s most likely just symbolic and no one will actually try to change anything about the status quo
Gotta have an army first dude.
Nothing will happen and I doubt this will change anything between the two countries as Lesotho is powerless to change anything now or in the foreseeable future in my opinion.
I think its interesting how some African countries are changing their positions after having accepted colonial borders before entering the AU but having change of heart later. This type of thing is frowned upon in Africa let alone in the rest of the world.
