Don't like your government - go in the mountains and join a community that created their own.

Nepal's Maoists
The "old government", he said, referring to the authorities outside Maoist-controlled areas, did nothing for education, transport or health.
In schooling, they were stuck in the 16th century, he said. "We want modern, 21st-century scientific methods."

While the link to this article is broken, I do have a couple of opinions on what I think the issue is here. I am not for pulling away from the government to start your own way of life. If you think the government is wrong, then you must work within in it to change things, not succeed from it. I will not presume to know what it is like to live under a Maoist government. But from what I read, they weren't very good at preserving education and the health system. If they had stayed and worked within the government for change, maybe more people could have benefited from a better education and better health care.

Nepal's Maoist rebels kill policewoman, child
KATHMANDU, May 29 (Reuters) - Nepal's Maoist rebels sprayed the house of a policewoman with bullets killing her and her four-year-old son in the revolt-torn Himalayan country, an army officer said on Sunday.
"The child died on the spot while the policewoman succumbed on way to hospital," army officer Ram Sharan Karki told Reuters from Dhangadhi, where the shooting took place late on Saturday.
Dhangadhi town, located 650 km (400 miles) west of Kathmandu, is a Maoist stronghold.

U.S. Demands Nepal's King Gyanendra Relinquish Political Power

This may sound like another situation where the US is sticking their nose in business that does not concern them, but at least this time the UN is also backing them up. There has already been much bloodshed in this country, and a move by the current King to leave the seat of power may very well be in the best interest of the country and its people. For those who have more insight into this issue (arvhic?) please share your thoughts.

Personally, I think the king should go and it would appear to be what the majority of Nepalese believe. This monarchy is an absolute disaster.

| Here is a brief recent history on the Nepal monarcy from Wikipedia. On June 1, 2001, the Heir Apparent Dipendra reportedly went on a killing spree in the royal palace, in response to his parents' rejection of his choice of wife. Following the carnage, the throne was inherited by Birendra's brother Gyanendra. In the face of unstable governments and a Maoist siege on the Kathmandu Valley in August 2004, popular support for the monarchy waned. On February 2, 2005 Gyanendra dismissed the entire government and assumed full executive powers to quash the Maoist movement. In September 2005, the Maoists declared a three-month unilateral ceasefire. A few weeks later, the government stated that parliamentary elections would be held by 2007. On April 21, 2006 Gyanendra announced that he was giving up absolute power and that "Power was being returned to the People" amid mass protests against him. He called on a seven party coalition to name a possible Prime Minister and that elections would be held as soon as possible. Many Nepalese protesters however, still carried out rallies in numerous cities. After 19 days of protests, on April 24, the king called for the country's parliament to reassemble on April 28. |
As for US intervention. I believe the US has done the right thing here by voicing their opinion but steering away from intervention. The US is regarded as a leader in the world in many spheres and it should voice concern about any regime or country where there are human rights abuses. If intervention is needed it should come through the UN after all avenues of diplomacy have been exhausted.
