I believe the international community and all Nepalese were 100% sure that Maoists were recognized by US as terrorist organization. Recently there were rumors that US is planning remove the terrorist tag. Later the news came out saying US have not changed its stance on Maoists. Some sajhians were glad to hear that. The latest news totally shocked me due to fact that we were fooled by the whom? Fellas express your views.
US says Maoists never on terrorist watch-list
Kantipur Report
The
US has hinted a rethink of its Nepal policy following the victory of
the former guerillas, CPN-Maoist, in the historical Constituent
Assembly (CA) elections held here last month.
The former rebels Maoist have, however, been included on the ‘terrorist exclusion list’ that applies to consular issues, visas and other kinds of matter, State Department Spokesperson Tom Casey told reporters in Washington yesterday, making an elusive distinction between the two categories for the first time.
Although the US accepted the CA polls verdict, Casey indicated that the US government still needs to have a clear stance on whether to change the Maoist’s status on the ‘terrorist exclusion list’.
Regarding the meeting held between the US Ambassador to Nepal Nancy J Powell and Maoist Chairman Prachanda on May 1, the US senior government official said that the meeting was principally to get assurances that the US humanitarian programmes will not be interfered with.
The CPN-Maoist had formally laid down weapons in 2006 and joined the interim coalition government last year.
