lfc123, >however would not surprised if three years turns into three decades, although i am not sure if the king will be able to go on for tooo long with the new understanding between maoists and seven parties. plus india critisizing himm. Only time will tell how long will it take for our country to resolve the maobadi problem, even after the insurgy ends all the weapons that came in the country will continue to create problems for a very long time. I can see that. Indian policies towards Nepal had always been a problem for Nepal and they use Nepals land locked position for their benefit and use politicians as their wild card. Even the top maobadis leaders are in India and roaming freely that tells us volumes, doesn't it? In the above interview the king has appealed the parties to come to him with a consesus government and he has been sayin that but the parties are only doing anything to come to consensus and they tie their knots with the maobadis. If it was US any ties with Al-Quida would be considered "terrorist" act. > i told u before i was optimistic when he first took over in magh I do get that feeling that times and kings efforts are getting in vain than I do see light at the end of the tunnel and I know deep down in my heart that this insurgency will end one day, will have to end one day. Sigh.. I wish it was yesterday..
