Assuming that the recent call for a month-long ceasefire by the Maoists is genuine, the question now is should the Nepali govt. respect it and respond in kind?
Or are they just buying more time?

this is purely a stall tactic. think strategically--about how much time remains between now and the start of nepal's monsoon season? how long of a cease-fire has prachand announced? is it easier to conduct operations during monsoon or during four out of the remaining five seasons (based on a six-season cycle)? my gut instinct says that what prachand's been saying lately are desperate words from a desperate man who sees the end approaching for his cause, God willing.

If it's genuine ceasefire, ceasefire to seek reasonable politcal agreement, then definately Government should agree to ceasefire.
But if it is not genuine or if this is their technique to buy some time to recuperate from the Army attack , then absolutely not. This could be their tactical move- tactical move to gain high moral ground. "Look we agreed to ceasefire but government forced us to pick arm again"
Human rights group people...I know you people try to be impartial and you people always report inhumane barbaric acts of parties involved and try to bring shame on the parties commiting them. In moist vs govt case, inspired by your duty to report barbaric acts , you guys are doing that..that's great. But one thing I don't understand, since MOist is like a ghost where do you exert pressure? And they are shameless so no matter what shame you people try to stick onto them is useless. About government, definately goverment cannot resort to the same tactics Moist use. Government must perform within the parameters of rule. There is no question about it. But when govermnet side commits somethign inhumane, as your job requires, you guys give pressure and try to bring shame on such acts! Actually you guys are doing commendable job in bring such barbaric acts and raising awareness about it. But my concern is eventhough how noble your act is it's not fair or impartial. Tactically you guys are helping moists. Because your effort to stick shame on them is virtually useless whereas, your hues and cries could seriouly trample governments effort to get rid this shameless barbaric terrorist called moist. So please stop your Cries and let government finish it's business!!!

How do we know if it’s a genuine cease-fire? Maoists have proved themselves that they aren’t the one to be trusted. Government should give them a week to see if they will listen to human rights activists for arms surrender and a peace talk. Government can not afford to let their guards down. If they don’t want to come to the table, security forces MUST keep the pressure on them by actively searching and destroying their camps.
On a different note, should Nepal be thinking about restrictions at the border? We all know India does not want to do so, even though they keep on complaining about Pakistani agents’ activities in Nepal. Since Maoists are using the open border in their advantage to supply weapons and India as a safe harbor, how long can the government keep their mouth shut regarding it where nation’s political stability is concerned?

Hi all,
Prachanda is strategically more intelligent and smart enough. It is the examination for PM Deuba whether he listens to Army or think of prosperity of nation.
What will be the consequences, if govt does not respect the offering of Prachanda? It is the main concerning.
If Army losses their faith to win the war, what will happen in Nepal? Army also the Nepalese people and they are also human. As police force were defeated, army could be defeated. There is alway possibility of win and lose at 0.5 probability. Now, Prachanda is a commander of the entire war, not the Prajowal (heir of murder Jang Bahadur).

I don't think the Maoist are just trying to buy time. The way they have killed innocent people they don't deserve to be forgiven especially Prachanda and Baburam. Kill em all, let God sort them out. I don't have any sympathy for them. Literates or illiterates they all should know torturing and killing other human being is bad. Don't cease fire till the end.

I dont trust Maoists, they are phatah, badmash with no ethic. The cease fire should mean nothing to Sher bahadur or any of us...why on earth do we have to listen to whatever those unethical gawars declare, all of them deserve to be killed for what they have done.
