**Analysis**
The text appears to be a United Nations Security Council resolution related to the political situation in Lesotho and its border with South Africa. It focuses on the economic implications of the border closure and the need for international assistance. The resolution also touches on the topic of apartheid and bantustans, which are political and social issues.
