Thanks for comments, guys. I still think RNA under Makane, G.P or any democaritic leader is better because they will be more responsible to people. If not, they will bear the fruits in election; people will simply punish them through votes and other democtratic means. I think - and is evident - that the cease-fire of 2003 that was to bring peace in the country was messed up by the RNA (obviously because Gyane wanted to descredit the democratic Govt as an excuse for his dictatorial rule). The national Human Rights Commission team of independent observers found that in Doramba village the security forces had indeed captured and executed 19 unarmed Maoists while there was peace talk going on in Hapure village. The military made a grave mistake thereby forcing the Maoists to pull out fronm the talk. This clearly suggests that the king Gyane was from the beginning looking to use Maoists - and their struggle - as an excuse for his take-over. He did succeed too. In this regard he is the main trouble-maker in the country. And he did this with the use of his die-hard loyal Generals. Now, in the country is a military rule in the name of 'popular' king who is the only so-called Hindu god and all his ruled are 'subjects' not citizens. While seven parties alliance can be taken as a positive move - at least democratic - the Maoists should find a sort of working ground in order to 'tame' the king. I use the word 'tame' rather carefully here because the alternative word - for example 'overthrow' - is still far reaching given the present mess in the country and international concerns. People simply want peace - let development, prosperity and individual liberation follow later - through dialogue with the warring 'party'. The truth is: This war is unwinnable by either side; only people win it.
