anti, Maos have made it clear that the repuiblic democracy is the minimum requirement. They haver often show their barbaric nature. When there will be republic there will be communist republic. ANd how do you think that the king will just let go the thrown. Looking at the past and present king will hang on to it. The best possible scenario is king back to constitution. Every should give up something to find a comprimised solution. King back to constituion. Maos commitment to democracy. Parties to get rid off corrupt and inept. Untill and unless everybody shows flexiblity the negotiation is very hard and civil war is likely to continue. YOu think monarchy wil give up with demonstration but the irony is it will take lot of bloodshed. Parites are not yet capable to move crowd for such actions. Jumping up and down in NY will just lead to ecnomic sanctions in Nepal which is devastating to the commoners. Peace
