I initially thought of writing comments on Moriarty views or more precisely instructions to KG and Parties but the slightest thought of Maoist running Nepal make me nervous. And to some extent Moriarty seems to have analyzed relatively accurately the ground reality of Nepal. From his statement it seems to be clear that: “US is determined not to see alliance of 7/8 parties with Maoists and Maoist constituting parallel government with re-organization of its people army with incorporation of carders of political parties as envisioned by Prachanda which will not be supported perhaps viewed as a means to establish a RED state in between China and India by US and its allies.” Now interesting events to unfold in the future are: Now interesting events to unfold in the future are: 1. Will Maoist be able to keep 7/8 parties with them against constant pressure of Royal sympathizers within the parties and US? Even if they succeeded in forming alliance and outstayed (which is most unlikely in the near future as accepted by Prachanda himself) KG, it seems that US is determined to ostracize Maoists and possibility of RED government of Maoist history in Nepal is very unrealistic (especially when Moriarty hopes/wishes Nepal would be coming under Bush’s priority list in future). 2. Will KG heed the voices of US and India (Two pillar theory- Multiparty democracy and Constitutional Monarchy) and step-down and honestly remains as a constitutional monarchy as his brother Late King B? (I guess bringing Army directly under PM and parliament would only that something assures parties King as constitutional). Will KG be willing to be such king of just Naranayanhiti Palace whereas PM/parliament enjoys every other bet of power of Nepal? This looks unlikely to happen especially with the traits of KG which means real compromise and mutual respect between parliamentary parties and KG from heart and soul might be a dray dream for most of the Nepalese. Well, now both of these seems not happening in the near future, that might be one of the reason that Prachanda is asking for 5 years. This means we will be witnessing more deaths and atrocities from both sides.
