Hi,

Type of cowardly attacks have been going on in Nepal by so called Maoists. Those all the attacks were not specifically targeted before as now, but later on they have concerntrated to assault to the police men and army as well. Most recently, they killed at least 102 people, including police and army soldiers, which was known as the rebel's deadlist ever.

Where is the goddamn intelligence? so called bhate guptchars don't even know whether/where hundreds of people are planning to gather and lauch an assault or assualts. (?) In remote or hilly regions even local people know who is getting married to whom in three hills away and can forecast how many jantis will there be coming. this blind and deaf intelligence is one of the major factors for the poor and ineffective state of security. We need a competent intelligence body otherwise radha krishna sita ram...and ekohoro sankha to stability.

So sad.

I think Nepal needs a new political party. The new political party should have politicians of different ethnic backgrounds proportional to Nepal's population of different ethnic groups. For instance,
Bahun=10% of Nepal's total populationl. So 10% of the politicians should be Bauns.
Chettris=18% of Nepal's total population. So 18% of the politicians should be Chettris.
Magars=about 9% or so. So 9% of the politicians should be Magars.
Newars=5%, so 5% should be Newars

You catch the drift...


This system would be much more fairer than what we have today, where virtually all our politicians are bauns/chettris/newars.
If this happens, then I don't think Maoism would be much of a problem.

Sparshaji:

If you remember, Guptachar is no longer the force of competent people. Khum Bdr
hired 100s of congressi from his constituencies for guptachar. Some apparently
are not even physically fit.

They(NC Leaders) have looted our money and our trust.First thing to say to these
people is, hey welcome to Central Jail!

Hi,

Since the declaration of state of emergency to track down the rebels, there is not any significant progress of hunting down the real Maoists. Do not forget that they are also fellow Nepali citizens and they have their legitimate right to fight for their establishments in political arena. However, this concept is itself a condemnable because their all the activities have shown apparently inhuman. As to the reported news that they had started their insurgency with killing fellow villagers.

Now, it is time for examining the periodic so called state of emergency. Did it work efficiently? Does Nepalese Govt. have any reliable data that how many real Maoists were killed or imprisoned as of today?

How about ratification of extending state of emergency? Will the state of emergency be the ultimate solution to end this conflict or this civil war? The ruling party Nepali Congress does not have any clue of confidence of ending this civil war and other opposition parties either do.

Another question of ignorance and failure of intelligence that it tells us Maoists may gain some other victories on their path. How costly will it be? It is still unpredictable and unanswered.

What role should we expect from King for ending this civil war? We can not ignore the vital role of the throne on this particular event of challenge. But, the King just wants to mobilize army and wants to have fantasy of succeeding to the throne. So, this war ends with defeating the throne, there will not be any surprise because this King also could be predictably assassinated as the late King Birendra. Our entire worry is now the possible rise of autocracy of Rana(s) in 21st century.

Cowardly ? Etrako cowardly ? Jyan.ko parbah nagari nepal gantatntra sthapana.ko lagi ladne.lai cowardly ? This is the bravest thing done by anybody in this country after janamukti sena in 2007.


>We need a competent intelligence body otherwise radha krishna sita ram...and ekohoro sankha to stability.

What we need is intelligent leaders, not intelligence body.

>They(NC Leaders) have looted our money and our trust

No comment.

>However, this concept is itself a condemnable because their all the activities have shown apparently inhuman.

If what the government has been doing since socalled restoration of democracy is human to you and what Maobadi are doing in inhuman, I doubt if you are a human.

>What role should we expect from King for ending this civil war? We can not ignore the vital role of the throne on this particular event of challenge. But, the King just wants to mobilize army and wants to have fantasy of succeeding to the throne.

There is only one role for king. Quit. Let Nepal be a republic and integrate Maoists in the democracy of Nepal. That is the only way to save Nepal from imminent ruin. All other ways, as it is becoming apparent day by day, will lead Nepal to the destruction, misery and barbarism never seen before.

If the king has any sense at all its high time for him to thank Nepali people for giving the king and the institute of monarchy all the wealth, luxury, power and the highest regard so far and seek farewell peacefully and respectfully, before rivers of Nepali blood flows in this country and it eventually kicks the monarchy out. Its all upto the king and nobody else. Let's be clear, it is not about or between Deuba and Maobadi. This war is between the king and Maobadi. Deuba looks like a poor joker, when he calls Maobadi as 'dhokebaj' as if he has authority to even talk about what Maobadi are fighting for.

I am appalled by the response of poster Yoyo.

Mr Yoyo thinks the Maoist attack was courageous.

Consider attacking 100+ jawaans with 3000+ people. Is that bravery? No.

Consider attacking these jawaans in midnight. Is that Courageous? No.

Consider throwing grenade in the barracks, starting assault from the houses of
civilians and, even, taking human shields. Is that courageous? No.

Consider beheading your own comrade, and dragging their body througout the
villages? Is this courage? No.

Consider killing police after they surrender, after their hands were tied. Is that
courage? No. Everyone knows that at least a few people always surrender in
such battle. Where are survivors in this attack? They overrun a barrack, and left
dead bodies in the rubble.

They killed the 'wife' of one civil officer(the officer was also killed). Is that courage?
No.

At least, government recognizes slain police and army. Maoists don't do that.
They just kill their comrades. They have killed schoolteachers, and their former
comrades just because they thought they were traitor. They have killed unarmed
civilians. I don't see any bravery. Cowardice is so permeated in their nature. No
wonder they fear everybody, they fear free people, they fear free election, and
they hide under the cloak of assumed name, and in the jungle in the daytime.

Where is courage? These are the most coward people in Nepal. They have made
excuse of their poverty to launch the assault which was not warranted.

Troop massacre in Accham!
Definitely the assault in Accham was serious by any standards. This will be a big setback for the Nepali government. One battle, however big, does not constitute the war itself. Since November, the Maoists were in desperate need of one morale boosting battle and finally they got it. It does not however change the balance of power however. The army has somewhat been battle shy during this time, only limiting itself to garrison duty at district HQs. That is a poor strategy, because it allows the Maoists to regroup and plan major attacks like the present one. Now, the army could learn the lesson and pursue a policy of active pursuit in the countryside. That way the rebels won't have the time to consolidate and attack the government...keep them running. Like everyone else in the government, the army too seems to have been used to the seat rather than being on the feet. Constant mobility is the name of the game in this war...if you hunker down in your barracks you are sitting duck!
Mr. Yo Yo's comments are intriguing. While his distate for the present government and the king are understandable, what does he know about the Maoists that he is embracing them whole heartedly? Does he know something about the Maoists which most Nepalis don't know about? From their explicit behaviour so far, how do we know they will be better than the king and multiparty system? At the very least the present system does not go about hacking and mutilating people who do not agree with it, despite its corruption and inefficiency. I wonder if Mr. Yo Yo considers Pol Pot a great leap forward than the previous system. Unless Mr. Yo Yo provides us some convincing arguments about the benevolent, peaceful and democratic intentions of the Maoists, I continue to believe that a system that comes to power by letting loose rivers of blood will remain in power by continued bloodshed.
