I am not as optimistic as Mr. Nepe is. I can only accept up to this fact that Gyane will not try to consolidate his power for pre-1990 era which he tried his best up to this point. People are unarmed and Gyane can just turn as Maoists and shoot all the protesters down. His and his latthak son's logic will be if they are loosing the grip on power, they will take as many lives as they can. Dog once it gets mad, will do anything. If you think positively about them it's going to be your fault. If people are warning leaders it for this reason because people know better than this feudalistic society and politicians believe. "There was a moment on the last Saturday afternoon of the protests that encapsulated the problem when the crowd surged into the centre of the capital, well inside the "shoot on sight" curfew area and within a mile of the royal palace. Tens of thousands of them jammed into a junction which had both ways blocked by the police, who were vastly outnumbered. One road led to the palace. The right man or woman at that time, leading that crowd, could probably have taken those people to the king's doorstep. Instead the crowd was leaderless. The police opened the other road, the crowd cheered their small victory and they all streamed by, the momentum was lost. The king was saved, for the time being" (source: BBC)
Now, think what would we have got if there was someone who could hold the mass? These leaders, mark my word now will do every thing to save ceremonial monarch. Their only fear is Maoist but they are taking care of them by giving a piece of pie in the cabinet. Why would Maoists care if people got any benefit of the movement or not. After all, they have been amassing their wealth looking people's deposit from the bank. We are deceived again. There might be nominal gain but I wouldn't be surprised if there is no gain at all.
