			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I found out about <a href="http://www.afrobarometer.org/">Afrobarometer</a> because it was referenced in this Public Eye article about how the Basotho are divided about dual citizenship with South Africa. I assume that means they have released some new findings, however all I could find at the moment on their site about Lesotho were the findings from round 3 (out of 4) from 2005. You can find the full PDF <a href="http://www.afrobarometer.org/Summary%20of%20Results/Round%203/les-R3SOR-19jan07-final.pdf">here</a>.</p>
<p>Anyway this is what Afrobarmoter is:</p>
<blockquote><p>A comparative series of national public attitude surveys on democracy, markets, and civil society in Africa.</p></blockquote>
<p>And out of this (in the above linked PDF) come a few interesting nuggets from Lesotho circa 2005:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.afrobarometer.org/Summary%20of%20Results/Round%203/les-R3SOR-19jan07-final.pdf"><img class="size-full wp-image-89798853 aligncenter" title="ablesotho1" src="http://www.martysmith.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ablesotho1.jpg" alt="Lesotho Question 1" width="822" height="166" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.afrobarometer.org/Summary%20of%20Results/Round%203/les-R3SOR-19jan07-final.pdf"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89798856" title="ablesotho2" src="http://www.martysmith.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ablesotho2.jpg" alt="ablesotho2" width="833" height="215" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.afrobarometer.org/Summary%20of%20Results/Round%203/les-R3SOR-19jan07-final.pdf"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89798857" title="ablesotho3" src="http://www.martysmith.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ablesotho3.jpg" alt="ablesotho3" width="814" height="442" /></a><a href="http://www.afrobarometer.org/Summary%20of%20Results/Round%203/les-R3SOR-19jan07-final.pdf"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89798858" title="ablesotho4" src="http://www.martysmith.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ablesotho4.jpg" alt="ablesotho4" width="822" height="234" /></a></p>
<p>And everyone&#8217;s favorite:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.afrobarometer.org/Summary%20of%20Results/Round%203/les-R3SOR-19jan07-final.pdf"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89798860" title="ablesotho51" src="http://www.martysmith.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ablesotho51.jpg" alt="ablesotho51" width="821" height="165" /></a></p>
