네팔 혁명?.. #3

THE DAYS OF THE MONARCHY ARE ENDING!!

 

..and perhaps a new kind of democracy

in Asia is beginning..

 

But at first... yesterday I met on the street one of the main active maoist persons in Berlin... they organized in January a forum about the situation in Nepal. I wrote about it here

http://blog.jinbo.net/CINA/?cid=4&pid=471

 

I asked him about his opinion about the current developments there... and he had no idea, not at all... He was not really informed what is going on there in the last days.. he just knew about what was written in German newspapers...... and this is just a little of the reality...

 

Anyway...

Yesterday in the CNN program Chitra Tiwari, a political analyst about Nepal by the Washington Post, said: "It is very likely that the days of King Gyanendra are counted."

 

 

Well, here are coming the latest news about the current situation in Napal..

 

eKantipur, 4.15...

 

Thousands take to streets in capital; dozens including ex-minister injured in police action

While thousands of pro-democracy protesters demonstrated across the country Saturday, dozens of protesters including a former minister were injured in police firing at a massive rally in the capital.

Rallies taken out from various parts of the capital passed through Chabahil, Gongabu and converged into a mass gathering at Kalanki, where security personnel intervened. Despite the security personnel’s intervention, the seven-party alliance (SPA) managed to stage a mass-meeting.

Defying the government ban on public gatherings and rallies, protesters from Balkhu marched towards Teku. Police indiscriminately opened fire at demonstrations at Kalopul, Sanepa, where ex-minister Sabitri Bogati, UML leaders Mohan Chandra Bogati and Lal Bahadur BK were among a dozen injured.  

The injured are undergoing treatment at Kathmandu Model Hospital.

The protesters shouting "We want democracy," and "Give back our rights" walked 8 kilometres along the Ring Road before converging into a mass gathering at Kalanki, one of the main entry points to the capital.

As the protesters move forward large numbers of onlookers cheered and clapped in support while some joined the procession.

Clashes between the protesters and security personnel at Kalopul lasted for a number of hours. Police also fired teargas and baton charged protesters.

The protestors burnt a police sentry post in the area.

Separately, rallies were taken out from seven VDCs in the western Kathmandu.

Protest demonstrations were staged at Gongabu, Kalanki, Kirtipur, Chabahil, Baneshwor, Koteshwor, Patan, Lubhu of Lalitpur, and Suryabinayak of Bhaktapur starting out this morning.

At least seven activists including Bhim KC, vice-president of UML aligned youth organization, Prajatantrik Rastriya Yuva Sangathan, were arrested from demonstrations at Ratna Park, while dozens of activists including Nepali Congress-democratic leader Mohan Bahadur Basnet, Min Bahadur Basnet of Nepali Congress were arrested from Sita Paila.

In Kirtipur, hundreds of women activists took to the streets demanding the restoration of democracy. The rally which went through Panga, Dobato and Ngaun, converged into a mass gathering at Naya Bazaar.

Similarly, thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators took out an anti-government rally in Lalitpur. A rally taken out from Satdobato was checked by the police at Jawalakhel.

GEFONT, General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions..

 

Tenth Day of General Strike: More GEFONT people arrested

 

Early morning of the tenth day of the seven-party alliance (SPA) called nation-wide general strike, more than 30 unionists including GEFONT NEC member Danish Kumar Rai are arrested. Com. Rai about to start his day, was welcomed by Armed police and military personals. They rounded up his house and nabbed him from the bed without giving a single chance for a cup of tea. Later he was handed over 90-days detention order. Along with Com. Rai, GEFONT unionists Kul Bahadur Pandit and Amritlal Shrestha also arrested and detained from Bara- central South of Nepal.

Police intervention, baton charge, tear gas shells and opened fire at the protestors in peaceful rally are the regular routine work of the autocratic regime in Nepal. Reciprocating to the government's brutal repression on peaceful movement, Pro-democracy demonstrations have been gaining momentum with large public participation across the country.

The tenth day of the SPA called nation wide general strike also saw peaceful demonstrations staged throughout the country. Expressing solidarity with the ongoing popular movement, various sectors including workers, civil servants, lawyers, artists, teachers, doctors, business entrepreneurs, and disabled persons, among others, have joined this movement.

The workers of hotels and casinos displayed black banners in front of the hotels, and went to work wearing black-band from today, as part of their protest programs to support the stir.
Today over 20,000 people, including professionals, trade union members and ordinary people, marched in the streets of far-western town of Dhangadhi expressing their solidarity. The rally has ben jointly organized by GEFONT and other two recognized trade union centres.

All factories and enterprises in Nepal have been closed down since last ten days by workers and trade unions in support of the general strike. Likewise, Employees working at government banks and telecommunications, electricity offices and various public enterprises have also joined the general strike by halting all their work challenging the essential service act imposed by the royal regime.
