maOIst inSurGENtsBeyond diatribes and onto solutions By NURU LAMA SHERPA Washington Post: Nepal's Throwback War .... WHILE CARNAGE in Israel and Kashmir and Colombia has dominated international attention in the past few months, a still-bloodier conflict has been taking place in Nepal ... Nepal: the number one hot spot in the world for now. I don't think we are feeling the heat enough at this site. We need to discuss this more fully than we have. At least 267 Maoists killed in Argakanchi, other details I hope this thread will gain some momentum. |

Nepal revamps security after attacks (1) What are the chances King Gyanendra will usurp powers? I say little or none. If he goes in that direction, the monarchy will surely come to an end. And he knows that. (2) How long? Apparently the Maoists are still going strong. Two massive attacks in a few days. (3) Will the elections be held? On time? Will a stable government come forth? (4) Will the anti-corruption drive be thorough? One is left with the pessimistic feeling, the Maoist insurgency will die out like one of those Colorado forest fires, not because the firefighters succeeded, but because there was no more forest to burn. |

Parmendra, This post below ,in my opinion, is more relevant here. Atleast someone posted something to the thread you started Bhanna milcha. "Desh Bhakta, What makes you think that if the king took over all the power, chaos will subside? What makes you think that the moment king declares all the parties are " Pratibandhit" and " Hamile Aafno hajurma aba Nepalko sashan ko karyabhar aafailai sumpibakseka chau", and all the Maobadis will call upon a cease fire? I do not think so. Yes , the king might take steps to severe the left- over respect of the janata towards the raoyalties and the Raja himself if he takes the power. Do not forget that Nepali populace is still not happy with what happened in the palace not too long ago. Even though ,I personally think, Gyanendra might not have anything to do with that, but ,so thinks the Nepali janata, His son definitely had something to do with it. Otherwise he would not have escaped such a violent carnage without a bruise on his body. How come everyone was present at the dinner either died or was injured, but for Paras who was right in there, present as everyone else, participating as actively as anyone else at the dinner table, and still got to see the next day whereas all the others died, or were headed to the hospital. I do not think, for above reason, The janata would want the royal palace to intervene for the suspicion of another "Sadayantra", and Panches. The Panches are long gone ,atleast the public thinks so , with the ever disappearing 'Panche Baja'. The days of the panches are still vividly roams in everyones skull as a nightmare. Marichman sigh, ahhh! what an administration.BUt , for some reason, the Janata of Nepal still hopes that some type of miracle will save the country and daily goes on to its business, not knowing that might be his/her last day to live On the other hand , let us imagine, per your suggestion, that the king did take over the reigns. Then what . Is not he goint to use the same Royal nepalese army and the Police against the Maoist. The strenght of our security forces have all been well tested. The army cannot finish the maoist neither can the police. As long as the Nepalese army eats Me i.e. Daal- Bhat- Tarkari, There is no way the problem goint to be solved. They gonna have eat my brother 'Dhindo and Sishnu ko Saag" to be strong. May be then we might see some change.( Just kidding). But do not take this lightly, otherwise a lightning will strike you. But on a practical note, the Nepali Congress will not be able to resolve this nor can the communist parties, Sadbhavana has no time to think but how to get more votes from Pahadiyas, how to get justice from Pahadiyas. Long time ago Bhimsen Thapa used to be the prime-minister and , when he was left alone to die on the streets of Kathmandu, his " Patibrata" wife had cursed the Nepalese society and that is what we are seeing now. So my point is , after all my writing above, power to the King is not the solution. I am not looking at the glass' half empty' but always try to look at it as 'half full', But for some reason I just cannot see the real peace on the horizon of the Nepalese people. May be I have forgotten to be a Nepalese , which definitely will astonish me, for I am a Nepali and will always remain nepali - atleast that is what I think. Nontheless, whoever will come to the power, still will be as corrupt and greedy as anybody else. If the Maos were to come to the power tomorrow , Prachanda will be no less than Chiranjibi wagle or Girija koirala. Yebamastu. " |
