Wrong date

The date listed is wrong. It is wrong in the article that is cited (SAHistory.org, which is a crowd-sourced site as well). Major newspapers like the NYTimes: https://www.nytimes.com/1986/01/20/world/military-coup-reported-in-lesotho-after-crisis.html the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1986/01/21/military-coup-topples-leader-of-lesotho/22dd87b1-af45-4d1f-a29e-12a3ab5db902/ and Christian Science Monitor: https://www.csmonitor.com/1986/0121/oles.html all report it as happening on 20 January 1986. I am going to change the date and the citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.246.26.173 (talk) 17:15, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
