To my misguided friends - Writing a petition to foreign governments is a typical Panchyat era mentality – MANDALE’s want foreigners to help solve Nepal’s problems instead of counting on Nepalese to do so. During the Panchyat era it took the form of INGOs and Social Service National Coordination Committee. Of course we know that happened – despite hundreds of millions of dollars poured into Nepal, the per in come capital has barely budged over $200 in more than 30 years. 1) GYANE’S speech does not address the solution to the Maoist problem. Why should it? Remember, dictators and tyrants all over the world need an excused to stay in power. In Nepal that’s called Maoists problem. GYANE and his henchmen have used Maoist problem as the reason for activating “so called Article 27”. The SPA has a solution. Some may have misgivings about trusting the Maoists but the solution to the problem has to start somewhere - someone has to take confidence building measure. Read #3) Bringing an end to the ongoing-conflict by, putting the RNA(Royal Nepalese Army) and the Maoist Army under the supervision of the UN or other reliable International Agency until free and fair elections for Constituent Assembly is complete AND #4) Maoists commit to democratic values, competitive multi-party system of governance, civil-liberties, human rights, and the concept of Rule-of-Law. 2) GYANE’S speech does not address many fundamental issues besides the Maoists problem (1) how to turn “royal Nepal army” to “Nepal army” (2) how to rein in the Para “uday Hussein” Shah (3) firing all the district, zonal, and regional commissioners (4) firing all the MANDALE secretaries & GER-SAIBS ambassadors (5) freezing the assets of current MANDALE ministers 3) India can’t solve Nepal’s Maoist problem. (1) they have their own Maoist and Naxalite problems that forms the arc from Bihar to Andra Pradesh. Writing petition and “ghuharing” foreigner embassies won’t make India do Nepals’ bidding. NEPALESE HAVE TO SOLVE NEPAL'S PROBLEMS. Event if India does Nepal's bidding, I don't think that'll solve the Maoist problem. Remember, what happened in Sri Lanka in the 1980s. India first supported LTTE and then cut off support after their 1987 debacle & Rajiv Gandhi's assasination. But LTTE problem did not go away. The solution to LTTE problem lies in Sri Lankans. Likewise, the solution to the Maoist problem lies in Nepal. PLEASE STOP GHUARING FOREIGNERS. 4) The Maoist problem is more complicated than simply India’s complicity in their rise. I suggest people do some background research before they start “barking something they don’t fully understand.” My OWN Petition to Sajha administrator ------------------------------------------------ Please don't delete my posts.
