Nepal: Maoists cheating nation on federalism issue, claims Poudel

Now that there is no confusion among the public, we are certain that our party will win the forthcoming election.” At another plane Poudel also claimed that the UML is also not a trustworthy party. “Indeed they share similar views to us over several contentious issues but we cannot forge election alliance with them as they cannot be trusted.”

Nepal Foreign Policy: Demands assertive posture for national good
Today we claim that foreign policy process has shifted to Singh Durbar and Shital Niwas from the Palace Secretariat. But the question remains that what changes have taken in our understanding of foreign policy making irrespective of the party in power.

Nepal: Transition conundrum
The post People’s Movement 2006 political transition had twin agenda to complete: (1) Drafting of the new constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic Nepal; and (2) Successful conclusion of the peace process.

The biggest ambiguity lies in the positions of Mr. President and Mr. Vice President. What will happen to the positions of the President and the Vice President after new CA elections? Will they cease to exist, pave way for new elections for the President and the Vice President?
Nepal: Maila Baje, NC nationalism and China
We now recall to what Dr. Shekhar Koirala had said recently that Nepal’s stability and peace could only be guaranteed if Nepal strikes a balance in her relations with the two immediate neighbors-China and India. Though Dr. Koirala made a vague assertion but yet we understand the meaning that lay underneath Koirala’s saying.
Nepal: Attention bouncing youths
The sum total is that the nation is in great pains and it is at this point of time, the Nepali Youths of the country should handle the affairs of the nation or at least take note of the deteriorating situation and how to manage or correct the political aberrations developed over the years...
Nepal: Tongue slip or what?

Nepal: THE MISSING DYNAMICS OF PEACE PROCESS:
The peace process should have addressed the structural problems which bred the insurgency.
