- Thapap comments: 6000 or 8500 Nepali soldiers income does not cover our Budget. Even 3500$ per head times 8500$.This is only a fraction of what Arabian nepali bring.and It is limited to 6 months or 1 year. There are almost 1 Million nepalis in Arabian countries. Rapidly growing this number specially in Iraq and Quwait. Even US army is employing Nepalis in Iraq. They are doing kitchen work in US Barracks. Cooking and distributing food for US Army.This trend is growing. You cannot believe anybody else than Nepalis in this field at this moment. Even Qatar wants to increase the Quota for Nepalis to 450000. This time even skilled worker like Engineers and doctors.
