Prajantantra Who and what will compell the Maoist to declare ceasefire ? In the matter of who...Can RNA or SPA or Gyane or the combination of all three compell the Maoists to declare ceasefire ? It would have been possible to compell the Maoists to declare ceasefire if the Maoists were in mercy of RNA or SPA or Gyane. Since the Maoists are not dependent on RNA or SPA or Gyane to continue towards their ultimate goal it is kinda absurd to expect them to declare ceasefire. However they can declare ceasefire for one reason. That is, when they feel it is time to re-arm and recruit more people into thier revolutionary army. How do you disarm the Maoist ? One way to disarm the Maoists is by gaining total control and superiority over the Maoists which is not the present reality and is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future. Neither RNA nor the SPA has the ability at the present. Will the Maoists join RNA to make a unified armed forces of the country. Absolutely, in fact one of the demands of Maoists during the last peace-talks was the creation of armed forces from the Maoist battalions. Do you know why ? Once the Maoist cadres are in RNA, the Maoist can create HUNGAAMA, CHAOS and BHAAD BHAILOO in RNA. Have you ever heard the phrase "killing form inside out". Once the RNA is in shambles...practically there will be nothing left in thier way to achieve their military (and political) goals.
