Belgium ? headquarter of NATO, EU and Communist Rebels!!! It?s a well known fact that the Maoists website is operated from Belgium. I doubt it but I wont be surprised if Prachanda is operating from Antwerp, Belgium. From my research so far, it?s very clear that the Nepalese Maoists cerebrum is located in Antwerp. I have yet to find a clear link between the Maoists and the Islamic Militants. Here are few news clippings I found during my research that might be of interest to you all:
?On behalf of the Worker's Party of Belgium, we want to draw your attention to the fact that the detention in your country of the Nepalese citizen, mr. Chandra Prakash Gajurel (alias 'comrade Gaurav'), is nearing his first anniversary.Indeed, one year ago, on the 20th of august 2003, Mr. Chandra Prakash Gajurel, a Political Bureau member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), has been taken in custody when he tried to leave from Chennai Airport of Madras for Europe.?
Two Nepalis from Chitwan and Baglung who entered Belgium after paying Rs 600,000 to middlemen are in refugee camps in Antwerp. There are 20 other Nepalis like them in various Belgian refugee camps. People seeking refugee status in Belgium have to first file an application at the home ministry, then wait in refugee camps until they are interviewed. But only few can satisfy the asylum criteria. ?The ministry rejects most of the applications,? says Navin Sapkota, former chairman of the Nepali People?s Progressive Forum, Belgium. The Commiserate General?s office interviews the applicants, and if they find the applicant?s answers and documents satisfactory, they are provided with 595 euro a month for food, lodging and petty expenses. This is just the first step to getting refugee status, but until the process is completed, the applicant has to stay in the camp. Besides food and lodging, the refugees also get 28 euros pocket money a week. Living conditions are comfortable, with television, computers and telephones. The inmates are also allowed to visit the city, but strict refugee camp rules have them return before midnight. ?? Lately, however, Nepalis have been seeking refugee status claiming that their lives are under grave threat from either the Maoists or the state. (Nepalnews.com Translation Service)."
