Unfortunately, Maoist are not laying down their weapon before CA election. Prachanda wants a third party ( UN ?) to monitor both armed forces during CA election. That's to ensure the fair election re. what's the point to be in interim government then if they expect to be cheted by the government which they are a part of. It's obvious that maoist will not have majority to make the constitution in their favour. I think it's their reluctance to release the uper hand position in any negotitaions further and unfortunate disbelief toward other political powers. We are little closer to what majority of populatioon wants but I am afraid war has only called a short timeoff. Making Nepal a communist republic is not what people want and that's why I think a new fighting will emerge then. All the liberal force in the world will suport the force that will rebel. We have a long way to go but I only wish this transition to be fast and less costly. I am helpless and only thing I can do is wait and see what Bhagwaan has stored for Nepal.
