As asst secratary Christina Rocca (Nepali sounding surname,Rokka
huh?)concludes her Nepal visit, one issue conspicuously
disappears from her agenda.
Just as kantipuronline folks noted, president Bush seems to have
forgotten the languishing issue of Bhutanese refugees in Nepal
and their right to return to their motherland.
In the aftermath of Rwanda genocide report, UN general secretary
released on UN report on the genocide, and promised that UN will
work for preventing such genocide in the future.
However, the tepid response on the plight of Bhutanese refugees
in Nepal shows that the international community doesn't care a
dime unless a substantial bloodbath is involved in the issue.
We talk about Maoist issue in Nepal. The reality is Maoist issue
can't and shouldn't eclipse the Bhutanese refugee issue. The US
cuddling of India may not be conducive to the solution of this
issue as long as Indian haughtiness persists.
Also, it is sad to note that while 8 Nepalese soldiers shed their
blood to help maintain territorial integrity of India in Kargil,
the ever ingrate Indian government feels no obligation to help
Nepal solve her outstanding issue with Bhutan.
