Although this is a welcome SIGN, it has yet to take the form of a CONCRETE FACT -- they have cancelled the RNAC charter, but he can always fly first class to NY. It could very well be a ploy to dampen the anti-King movement in the US that has picked up significant pace in the recent weeks. "नखाम भने दिन भरिको शिकार, खाम भने कान्छा बौ को अनुहार" भो' होला राजालाई, कठै! Damed if he does, damned if he doesn't. Whatever the case, I hope those involved in anti-King movement in the US will hardly call it a rest. For one thing, we should be more energized by the recent developments in Nepal, and for another, our scheduled protest was NOT against the individual King to begin with anyway. So, whoever represents the Nepali delegation to the UN also represents the current repressive regime there. Therefore, we will have every reason to be present at the rally in front of the UN on the 16th!
