Poonte, I totally agree with you that final outcome of this movement should be Democratic Republic of Nepal. But a hasty move by brute force might result into anarchy and violence. I think King's message is bit incomplete, but SPA leaders should bargain and make it complete, before they call off strike driven by mere greed of power. This is what I think should happen 1) SPA should now start dialogue with palace, and minimum basis for compromise should be i) SPA has authority and responsibility to choose prime minister and form coalition government ii) Security forces should be brought under security council. With complete operational authority under security council. Palace should have no controll over security forces. There should be no influence from palace on security council. iii) Palace should agree for constitutional assembly at appropriate time 2) If above minimum basis are met form a coalition goverment 3) Announce cease fire immediately start dialogue with maoist 4) Convince them to give up arms, they will not need it anyway cos their demand of constitutional assembly has been met and government security forces are under coalition government control. Tell them this is their one and only chance to safe land to mainstream political process and minmum basis is give up arms and violence 5) Hold free and fair constitutional assemble under UN supervision if needed Then move on as per verdict given by public through constitutional assembly. But if Palace, SPA or Maoist divert from minimum bassis of cease fire, end of violence and constituition assembly. Nepalese will wipe out their existence.
