Zalim It is a simple logic...for example if you are an industrialist or lets say you own a car tire mafucturing plant. Your company supplies rubber from Brazil so how the hell it will affect you if anti-rubber demostration takes in Estonia (after all Estonia is not a rubber producing country at all). Similarly the vast majority of Maoist recruits come from rural areas of Nepal AND NOT from major urban centers of Nepal so does it really make a difference if there is a major anti-Maoist demostrations in major urban centers of Nepal. Their supply of new recruits into thier military dont dry up just because there are demonstrations in major urban centers of Nepal because they didnt get (nior do they expect to get) a vast majority of recruits from major urban centers of Nepal anyway. The Maoist dont have grip on major urban centers of Nepal politically therefore it becomes very logical that they dont waste resource to appease the people of urban centers of Nepal or ignore them all together and win over them by their rular based military might.
