I think all sensible Nepalese are saying the same thing..but Maoists would not listen to their own Nepalese people... But when USA says so they will heed. That's the biggest problem with our Leaders!!!!! They want to be Dictators but they need to be dictated by Foreigners.. ha ha... What an Irony!!!!!!! US not to support the interim govt. until Maoists renounce violence The United States’ ambassador to Nepal, James F. Moriarty, has said the US won’t support an interim government in Nepal—including the Maoists—unless the latter renounce violence. James F. Moriarty (File Photo) Addressing a function organized by the Rotary Club of Dillibazar in the Nepali capital on Wednesday, the US envoy said CPN (Maoist) was still recognized by US law as a terrorist organization and that the US couldn’t provide material support to a terrorist organization. “We do believe that they (the Maoists) have to change their action before we could provide assistance to the Maoists in any way or to a government, which they will be part of,” he added. “The question is-- Are the people of Nepal ready fro a government that includes Maoists – that has an armed faction—within their government. Do the people of Nepal feel that it is correct for Maoists to retain the option of violence as peace process goes forward?” he asked. Moriarty also blamed the Maoists of not showing the good faith the new government of Nepal was showing towards them. “Until the Maoists bring their conduct in line with standards of mainstream political parties in multiparty democracies, it would be premature to declare that peace is already at hand,” he added. “I am concerned by the continued gap between Maoist commitments and Maoist actions. Kidnapping, extortion, intimidation, and murder are not tools for mainstream democratic political parties—which the Maoists claim they are becoming,” said Moriarty. “The political parties have worked hard in recent weeks, without resorting to intimidation, to bring about a new political order that will benefit all Nepalis. The Maoists need to show the same spirit of cooperation and compromise,” he added. Moriarty further said the US saluted Nepali people’s courage and resilience and looked at ways it could help the people of Nepal as they further strengthen democracy and strengthen the momentum for peace. nepalnews.com by June 28 06
