CINA

Red flag over the Himalaya...

Daily royal army terror in the cities...

Unfortunately the speaker was not from Nepal, he was from the India-Nepal Solidarity forum and for me it was more that his "latest news" he had just from the media and the maoist propaganda (but even this, for us, who are not living in the near there, it is very hard to get...).

But anyway... according to the speaker the new "rulers" of the majority of the country, the CPN(M) and the People’s Committees(PC) in the last years were creating/establishing in the "75 liberated districts, which are complete independent from the central government in Kathmandu", 9 autonomous regions were mainly the national minorities are ruling. He also saig that the CPN(M) and the PC were establishing a "provisionally government" which could get the power in the "next few month, if there will be no intervention by the US-Imperialists, the British or India.."

Women..

What was very interesting: 30 per cent of the fighters in the PLA and the militia/guerilla are female(actually even in one contibution of National Geographic, I uploaded it several weeks ago, they said the same).

..liberation

According to the speaker the Royal Nepalese Army has about 100,000 troops and the PLA and the revolutionary militia/guerilla about 150,000..

PLA

"At any time, if CPN(M) want, they can take the power in the country", but right now they try to get an alliance with the(former) parliamentarian parties("but they are all discredited, including the CPN/UML", so the speaker, because "they are representing just the bourgoisie and the feudal land lords") to struggle for a constitutionally assambly to remove the monarchy. But "of course the party of the monarchy will be also a part in this process...". "And when they can convince the people that the monarchy is the best for them... the CPN(M) will accept this result", so the speaker...(???)

But the major part of the meeting was just low maoist propaganda, what you could hear even 30 years ago from any of this parties/groups.

What was very precariously: The speaker and the organizers said that "every movement which is weaken the US-Imperialists" are natural supporters of the "People’s War", including the "fighters in Kashmir, Checheniya, Iraq and Palestine – the fighters of the Jihad"... Actually I really can’t believe, because what has a maoist("communist", if it has the aim of communism...) to do with the Jihad???

But anyway, let’s see what will bring the near future! And..

..SUPPORT THE STRUGGLE OF

THE PEOPLE IN NEPAL FOR LIBERATION!
