Very good article, specifically the line "But many would continue to question whether all the killing and destruction was necessary for him to accept what Nepal's major communist parties accepted a long time ago." All that killing, loss of lives, loss of country's infrastructure, economic loss due to their various illegal activities throughout the years.... who is gonna account for all that. Its unfortunate that we have to accept them for the sake of peace, but they deserve nothing less than a death sentence. As it says in the article "Though records have fluctuated, the GDP growth rate in 1995/96, when the Maoists began their insurgency, was 5.4%, an encouraging figure for Nepal.", if we had not had these shitheads, Nepal would've been in a much better shape. Their practice of extortion (which they call "donation") and life threats (in most cases actually executing people), has forced people to live in fear. In a country where politics is already in a unstable state, they have significantly added instability and steered the country into a much bigger mess. If these reasons are not good enought to prove that he is nothing more than just a mere fuccking traitor, then I don't know what else can. HE SHOULD BE HANGED TILL DEATH!!!
