In return, Prachanda asked his militia all over Nepal to "stop all pre-planned offensives for the time being" and to remain in defensive posture. Nepalnews.com

How many peoples will believe or feel comfortable with
this call for CEASEFIRE? Do you really think its an honest
call for CEASEFIRE from both sides? I don't think so.

Well, Tamils in 1989 called for first CEASE FIRE, i.e.
6years after the break of war. Nepali Maoists called
CEASEFIRE after 6th year of war break. Very similar.

In Sri Lanka the story of CEASEFIRE is now like Tide in
Ocean. What about in Nepal? I think its a tide in Nepal
too. Once this tide settles on the beach, we can find
anothe coming. The coming days will be more devasting,
because both side will accuse each other not have
enough environment for the negotations. Once next tide
comes, we will hear much more deaths, the way it happens
in Sri Lanka. Well, in 1989, Sri Lankan friend of mine,
had party for the first call of CEASEFIRE, assuming its
the end of war, wow, before they finished food on their
plate, they had to rush for BBC to hear new tolls of death.
So, don't have parties. Expect bigger TSUNAMIS of death
news.

I believe its 99.99999999% drama from both sides.

This stupid ceasefire will be broken by the Maoists in less than two weeks. If Deuba believes that he can persuade the Maoists to give up their arms by mere table talks, then he is a fool.

There is only one solution to this problem, and that is to use the army. If they are not prepared to do this, then they should give up, pack their bags and go somewhere else. Other people who can do will take over. For example, the King and army.

I largely agree with both of the posters here. This ceasefire is nothing but a tool for Maoisis to blame the government for not creating an environment for negotiation. What they demand is beyond constitution and how a NC leadership can negotiate with this group whose demands are not possible to entrtain under the present system?
Use of mighty force not the negotiation solves this problem. How do we know? well, let's let only 50/60 so called maoist rebels face what does it mean to be attacked and ruthless then we will see their reaction.
I still wonder what's going on in Rolpa? Government is making us fool. Why don't we hear about that so called operation by the army? who gave the order for the operation and now what is going on with that operation? shouldn't the citizens be informed?
