Lesotho men draped in blankets line up as they wait for the polls to open in the village of Machache, 25 miles east of the capital Maseru Saturday, Feb. 17, 2007. Voters in the tiny southern African mountain kingdom of Lesotho go to the polls Saturday to elect a new government after 10 years of rule by the Lesotho Congress for Democracy. The election promises to be a close race between the ruling LCD, led by Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili, and the 4-month-old All Basotho Convention led by Tom Thabane, the former minister of communications, science and technology (AP Photo/Jerome Delay)
