I'm more concerned for the thousands of 20-odd year olds who have now all of a sudden found themselves literally on the streets. I mean that youthfulness of 18-22 was the age they served for the maoist army when they could have been looking to decide a career for themselves. Even granted that there'll be an interim govt, and granted that Nepal will be a republic in the long run, I wonder what rehab plans Prachanda & Co have for their ex-army now. I am concerned because I can see some 25,000+ young people jobless, uneducated, dreamless, clueless, and forced to get into cheap labor jobs for the lack of alternatives. You might kick the king out, which is good for a budding democracy, but then that doesn't solve anything if you look at the future of each individual in the ex-army. The lost formative years of each individual is an irrepairable loss. I am not sure if the maoist think-tank has any cover-up plan for them. I mean come on, it's not realistic; you can't now get each of them to where they would have been were they not forced into the maoist army 6-7 year ago.
