NEPAL: POLITICAL TURMOIL

Nepal needs stability, but Maoists are having other thoughts

Their alliance partner CPN then withdrew support in protest against the Chief’s sacking.

Nepal expert Swarn Kumar Anand says, “It looks as if the Maoists were in a hurry to incorporate their men in the army and in the process isolated the President and Army Chief. They should understand that Nepal is a fragile democracy and it will take time for things to settle down.” It seems from this stand off that the Maoists have more interest in grabbing absolute power and not in the restoration of democracy.

If Prachanda and his men have faith in democracy as they claim, they should help other parties form a government so that Nepal can come out of limbo. That is if he wants democracy to truly thrive in Nepal.
