 * The sources I used for the flag change was the Lesotho Government; the new image is up already (since Oct 3rd), but you need to perform a cache refresh in order to see the change. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 13:33, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

1986 or 1987?
This line: "A new design was adopted on 20 January, 1986" contradicts the pictures and text at the bottom that says the flag was changed in 1987, which is correct? - MTC 05:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * it's 1987. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 05:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Flag Change is bad
For a state to arbitrarily change its flag too many times - despite being the same regime - in my opinion is to hinder that country's political enculturalization and socialization ... in other words, alienating and confusing the populace. Le Anh-Huy 06:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * One thing to also note, this is going to cost nearly 50,000 of the Lesotho currency to make this flag change happen. There will be a lot of other things thr gov't will pay for to announce the flag change. That money could have been used elsewhere where it will have more of a benefit towards the populace.

 * Is this really the place to discuss such things? I thought this page for discussion of the article. Romis 13:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but the likelyhood of the flag being discussed will be small, so I do not mind this little exchange. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 19:00, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I like the old flag better

BBC used Wikipedia image
I sent the BBC a message using their feedback form:


 * You have an article "Lesotho unfurls 'peaceful' flag", yet no picture of the new flag. You can find one on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Lesotho


 * There is also a better quality image of the old flag on Wikipedia as well.


 * Hope this helps.

They replied:


 * Thanks for that. It has been added.

The first flag had Basotho National Party colors
According to fotw, the reason why the was relinquished in  is because it had the same exact blue-white-red-green colors seen on the, (the Basotho National Party is a political party that ruled Lesotho until a 1986 military coup).

Should this fact be added on this article?
