US President Donald Trump said “no one has ever heard” the African side of Lesoto – a comment that has “Shocking” his governmentS

This is a small country in South Africa, which is almost entirely made up of mountains and is completely surrounded by South Africa.

Here are nine things you need to know about the country:

The Lesoto Kingdom is made up mainly of mountains where many villages can only be reached on a horse, with a leg or a light aircraft.

It is known as the Kingdom in the Heaven and is the only independent state in the world, which is fully over 1000 meters (3.281 feet) in the elevation, according to the encyclopedia British. Its lowest point is 1400 m.

It is known that there is one of the most frightening airports in the world to land on – Matekane’s aviation tape has a short track and with long drops at both ends.

The Business Insider website describes flying from the airport as “essentially the same as when a bird is pushed out of the nest to learn to fly.”

The Lesoto is fully surrounded by South Africa, but separated from the prohibiting mountain ranges.

There is not much of his land for agriculture, with its population being vulnerable to food shortages and relies on job income in South Africa. For decades, thousands of workers have been forced by the lack of job opportunities at home to find a job in South Africa.

People in Lesoto share some cultural and linguistic similarities with South Africans. Their language, Sesso, is also one of the 11 official languages ​​in South Africa.

Resources are scarce in Lesoto – a consequence of the harsh environment of the high -paid plateau and the limited agricultural space in the lowlands.

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

When you think of skiing and snowboarding, you can imagine the snowy slopes of Europe and North America.

But the Lesoto performs on the scene of Snowports. He has the highest ski resort in Sub-Saharan Africa, one of only a handful of the continent.

Afrish is located 3.222 m above sea level, high in the Lesoto Mountain and attracts visitors from and outside Africa.

The people of Lesoto are referred to as the Basso.

Some of the cultural objects related to Basso people are their blankets and the traditional Basso’s conical hats, known as Mocorotlo. The hat is a national symbol and appears in the middle of the country’s flag.

The blankets are made of dense wool, with their complex and colorful patterns, each of which tells a different story from the history of the people of the base. Basoto wears them as scarves of special events and gives them as gifts.

Lesoto has one of the highest HIV spread rates in the world, one of them being five adults living with HIV and more infections of 100,000 people from most other countries, including neighboring Namibia, Botswana and Esvatini.

The US government has made nearly $ 1 billion to help the country deal with HIV since 2006, including prevention, care and medical services, according to the US State Department.

Prince Harry and his close friend, Lesoto, Prince Zeeso have set up a charity in the country – Sentebale, which means “forget me no.” The charity works with the local communities in the low level Lesoto, helping young people affected by HIV/AIDS.

Prince Harry for the first time went to Lesoto as a 19-year-old and has since returned to the country many times.

Lesotho is one of the largest African clothing exporters in the United States in the United States, according to the website of the International Trade Administration of the US Government (ITA).

Exports, which includes jeans and textiles, is carried out through the US Trade Program, African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which allows permissible African countries to send some of the goods in the United States without paying taxes.

It is ranked second in the value of the goods exported to the transaction.

Mountain Kingdom has the highest suicide percentage in the world, with 87.5 people per 100,000 of the population taking their own lives every year, according to the World Health Organization.

This is almost 10 times as big as the average for the global nine or more than twice as large as the country with the second highest speed, Guiana, which has about 40.

There is no single reason for these shocking statistics – experts point out drug and alcohol abuse, job shortages and lack of mental health consultation.
