While the country is readying itself for the first round of peace talks with the Maoists, the rebels are continuing the activities, some say, they are best known for: extortion, intimidation and abductions. They are collecting money from not only big businesses of the country but also from general people and small businesses around Nepal. And these kinds of activities are happening daily in many districts. Here we present a press released issued today by the Directorate of Public Relations of Nepal Army that details the rebel activities that are clearly against the spirit of cease fire.

People like Krishnasen and his ilk have had a field day in our society. He is right in pointing out the futility in just posting against him or people like him. So what do we do, now? Accept him or flay him on fire, not by comments but by action. The crux is this. Being inclusive & democratic does not mean you have to sale our soul to be one. This truth is slowly dawning on people like us but are we going to act on time or after it is too late.
beaware king and suspended security and his adcisors are hatching plan to assasin prachanda and other maoist leaders when they appear in kathmandu. And military will take over the country after that. Maoist will lose their power without prachanda as baburam can’t lead the party on his own. And no one else can oppose the army. JUST KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN informer…
Sri, pl, gorkhali, fanta,
You are pissed off just because someone named Krishna-sen expressed his opinion here. Pity you, R U All paid slave of Gyane or one hell of a feudal landlord of your village? Cool guys, everyone is free here. Further, there is no denying that 70% of Nepal is under Maosit control, U like it or not? They are real force of peasants and poors. I do not agree with their way of killing and waging wat but I am 100% with them in their 40 points agenda. This guy named krishna-sen is fake maoist in the first place, you dumb head. Real maoist may be busy hiding their guns now. They have seen people’s power and non-violence winning m-16 just in 19 days!
A “real” Nepali Maoist is not likely to use stereotyped Marxist rhetoric out of the library’s Marx-Engels Manifesto. But if he gets people irritated and motivated to confront the imminent Maoist take-over I’m with him.
Gurung, however, sounds like a genuine long-marcher “hero”. Take these threats to our survival as a nation seriously!
krishnasen
we all want equality
not from guns
we want prosperity
not by destroying the opponents
if that continues
than u will be destroyed
we had believed maoists coz they have come to mainframe
if they carry on the same jobs then they may be deleted from history
I agree with you Kirat. Thank you
Bideshi trying to fish in troubled water! I do not trust any foreginers. Let Nepal be ruled by Nepalese not by Bideshi !
Kirat said “I don’t believe we need a UN Force”. I also don’t believe we will get one. Nepal is not a top priority for the UN and they are focused on the Sudan and Iran right now. We are on our own and need to get down to the business of defending our society and culture from the Maoists. Since the King is out of the way (if he is…) someone from the military should come forward and lead. The SPA will fiddle and fiddle while Nepal burns.
What pathetic crap you idealists dole out!!!
Many of the parliamentarians have already complained that the Maoists are asking for ‘chanda’. The recent news was that about 500 industrial units are planning to shut down because of the Maoists extortion. Dabur Nepal has already decided to close down its operations due to increased exortion and threat of the Maoists. In face of this, you losers talk about prosperity and peace.
Most of you had stated (repeatedly with emphasis) peace will set in immediately as soon as the SPA gains power. So what is the difference in the situation between previous regime and this government? Hardly any. The SPA are fighting over ministership and holed up in Kathmandu. The Maoists threat looms large and no one has any idea what is going on. What should we do with so-called ‘people’s power’ and ‘defeat of oppressors’, blah-blah? Should we shove it up our asses and be happy with vague notion of ‘independence to decide about nothing’?
Gurung, Nepal is my country every bit as much as yours. Yours by birth; mine by choice.
We have many people who are caught up with this la la land idea of the maoists that I feel a real sense of pity for them, if they ever do come to power. I hope they do not for these guys sake, otherwise reality would probably kill them.
Let me give you a hypothetical scenario:
1. Prachanda forms interim government with SPA.
2. CA elections – Maoists win many seats whichever way they can.
3. Maoist party forms coalition govt.
4. Due to certain diagreement in govt. they take over the full authority of the parliament now that they have their cadres within the army, they can assume control. They throw non party members into jail on trumped up charges.
5. Media blackout, inteelectuals thrown in jail, nationalisation of all resources and industries.
6. No aid, no investment, no food, no trade. More supression political and military. Most likely beginning of killings of opposing voices,parties, intellectuals,democrats etc..
7. As their promises will definitely not even begin to be fulfilled as they are unrealistic to begin with, there will begin dissent within party lines, break away faction within the army and party, maybe India will intervene with military presence atleast at the borders. Chaos, anarchy, havoc – Civil War –
Total collapse of the economy and the political system of Nepal. Social and cultural fabric will have been battered. Murder, looting, mayhem, rule by the guns and thugs.
8. Future – Afghanistan under Taliban scenario or worse.
9. All this will happen within 2 years of their assumption of government, maybe faster.
CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!
well
this is a open challange to krishna sen
he is threating us with his guns, never forget that there are all nepali in favour of peace and that is why they are toletating movements like mentioned above after the seizefire.
If you all continue like that then remember the andolan bhag-2 which stunned your party too.
I have pity for your party that they knew that they were fighting 10 years for the things which SPA(seven party aliance) brought in 19 days.Now maoist have no agendas to bargain with and for that the sense of the so called Peoples’ War is now over.Now they have no other options than to be quit.
If they continue to go on like that we the “NEPALI PEOPLE” would find a good solution for them as we are doing for the KING.
that’s it!
Entirely possible. Likely. Is there not even one person in this land of the brave Gurkha that has the courage of a Mussharef?
“Target should be the leadership of these thugs, even if it means going covertly into India.” Hmmmm…
Tempting, but then we would be using political assassination just like the Maoists.
I like the Joke that Krishnasen is a fake Maoist. btw he could be baburam or prachand or at least near to them. Any way he is speaking the same monologue the MBs have been telling & practising for more than a decade. It is no wonder they will put any body who opposes their Monkey Business in the category of their Class enemy and could liquidate if possible. However we are also helping them by commenting their actions and encouraging them to come to the main line. If they do not then it is their doomed fate or our doomed fate as described by Cryhavoc. In either case it is a doomed fate of Nepal. Once more I like the joke “Krishnasen is a fake Maoist”.
If it is you Prachanda remember that Robespierre went to the same guilliotine as the people he had killed. Revolutions get stolen from the hands of the revolutionaries.
Let us make this blog a forum of discussion rather than a place of mud slinging. If someone crosses the limit of blog sanctity, don’t react at him. Just forget him and continue with other sober people. If we, intellectuals, can not controll our emotion, what can we expect from others ?
maoist are bullshit..they loot…rober…they are killer of the country
Maoist Donation Drive Continues Unabated in Sunsari
THT Online
Itahari, May 23:
The Maoists have intensified their donation drive in both the rural and urban areas of Sunsari district.
They have been collecting donations in Itahari, Inaruwa, Jhumka, Tarahara, Khanar and Duhabi in the name of “government taxes”. The Maoists have collected around Rs 6.5 million from businessmen here, a victim of Maoist extortion said.
“The Maoists are demanding money for the peoples’ assembly and to feed their army,” a businessman in Ithari said.
“The Maoists have taken from me Rs 5,000 once and Rs 3,000 the next time,” he said while declining to reveal his identity fearing Maoist retaliation.
The Maoists are learnt to have collected money even from the houses in slum areas.
The Maoists are demanding large sums of money in donations from industries in Khanar and Duhabi, sources said, adding, the Maoists have threatened to close down industries if the they don’t get donations, another businessman said.
“After the announcement of bilateral ceasefire, the Maoists have already taken Rs 2 lakhs from us,” said an administrative chief of a local industry.
The Maoists are also reportedly collecting between Rs 25 to Rs 50 from each worker of Ammi Apparels in Khanar.
The District Peoples’ Government chief, Ram Kumari Chaudhari, said although pressing people for money went against the party policy, the local Maoists were forced to do so to sustain the livelihoods of the party cadres and the peoples’ army.
The Maoists are ready to stop collecting donations if the government guarantees to take care of their cadres and peoples’ army personnel, Chaudhari added.
Raj, I echo your sentiments but intellectuals can discuss until the end of time and accomplish nothing. It is time to rouse passions in defense of our society and culture. We are out of time and must act now to defeat the Maoists.
So, some of want reforms in the Army apparatus because it is run by old generals loyal to the King. And by reforming, you would want to make it like Nepal Police where Khume and Bam Dev put in their cadres making it utmost incompetent and corrupt. It is true that the Nepalese Army may not be professionally run as of your liking but these people split blood and fought under harsh conditions so that bunch of city-bred yo-yos like you can write some stupid and brave idealism about democracy and reforms in this blog. By the way, any of you even ventured out of your safe havens in urban areas to see any of the effects of Maoism and their actions of their cadres?
Reading news generated by media (who also write mostly in heresy) is easy to read and comment on; but when caught in the cross-fire in daily basis, all your rational and idealist thoughts serve no purpose. GET REAL! DO SOMETHING REAL THAN MAKING EXPERT COMMENTS!!
Battered but unbowed

KATMANDU, Nepal – This was the ultimatum that Nepal’s Maoist rebels gave to Purna Lama: “Give us 1 million rupees in seven days, or else.”
For the retired Royal Nepalese Army soldier-turned-farmer, coming up with the equivalent of more than $10,000 (U.S.) was the same as if they had asked him for a moon rock. Impossible.
“At the end of the seven days they came to my house,” he says. “They beat me with a pistol over my head, sliced up my ear with their knives, then tied me up and led me away like a dog with a rope around my neck.”
Lama says that when they came to a riverbank about a 20-minute walk from his house, the rebels shot him twice, once in the head and once in the abdomen. He says he lost consciousness and the rebels threw him into some brush on the riverbank.
Remarkably, he was still alive four days later when his wife and children found him. He was taken to a hospital where he says he spent the next three months in a coma.
When he finally came to, he says, he still had his life, but the rebels had forced his family from their home and padlocked it. And the land that they were farming grew fallow during his coma.
Now, two years later, Lama has come to the Maoist Victims’ Association, a small dingy office, a fifth-floor walk-up in a nondescript building in Katmandu. On the walls are dozens of framed photographs of men and women who were not as “lucky” as Lama – people killed by the Maoists during their decade-long insurgency.
Today the office is filled with people who have been beaten and displaced by the rebels, but also, they say, ignored by the government, which won’t give them assistance or compensation, or even help them get their land back.
They say they’re tired of suffering in silence. Following the example of the recent “People’s Movement,” in which 21 people were killed and hundreds wounded in clashes with police and the army when the Nepalese took to the streets in defiance of their autocratic king, they too will march for their rights.
Their immediate goal is a more modest one: to present Nepal’s home minister, Krishna Prasad Situala, with petitions listing their demands for support.
In one room, members rip up pieces of cardboard and smear them with glue. They mount photocopies of their slogans to the cardboard. Others attach the signs to sticks, using small pieces of rebar – they don’t have a hammer – to pound in small nails.
It is a humble effort, but an inspiring one, from people who still believe that their voices can be heard if they are bold enough to speak the truth to those in power.
Manbahadur Adhakari, 74, was also a victim of the Maoists. He says it was his political connection to the monarchy that got him in trouble.
He says 60 rebels surrounded his house and burned it down.
“Don’t torture me, just kill me,” he says he told the rebels. “But they told me, ‘We want to break your arms and legs and throw you away.’ ” He says they beat him for two hours with the back of an ax, breaking his hands, arms and legs. Finally, he says, he passed out and they left him for dead. He shows me the blunt-force trauma marks on his shins – indentations so big they could easily hold a marble.
But while he says the beating was terrible, his neglect by the government in the years following has been even worse.
“The rebels tortured me for two hours,” says Adhakari, getting angry and animated, “but the government has tortured me for eight years.”
Adhakari says despite all he’s suffered, he’s optimistic that Maoists will be honest partners in trying to form a new government with a coalition of seven other Nepali parties.
“I trust the Maoists more than I trust the government,” he says, but indicates it is a lesser-of-two-evils scenario.
More than 12,000 Nepalese have died as a result of the Maoist insurgency, which began in 1996, and thousands more have been displaced by the conflict.
The rebels are said to be at least 20,000 strong and control 80 percent of the country. But they’re not alone in their abuses. International monitoring organizations say the Royal Nepalese Army has also committed many human-rights violations in the war with the rebels.
With Nepal’s King Gyanendra ceding power back to the parliament that had been dissolved during his rule, the Maoists are negotiating a place at Nepal’s political table.
This includes a 12-step “road map to peace,” which calls for, among other things, the dissolution of the Royal Nepalese Army and the creation of a new force integrated with the rebels.
The U.S. government and others are concerned that the Maoists could resort to a one-party state once they’ve gained power. It’s a charge the Maoists deny.
But they continue to violate the cease-fire agreement with sporadic killings and beatings of opponents, as well as systematic extortion of the population, which they label “donations.”
As Hari Prasad prepares to march in the Maoist Victims’ Association demonstration, he tells me how the Maoists attacked him not once but twice in two years. He says they cut him with knives in the first attack and shot him in the second. He shows me the scar on his forehead from a knife wound and pulls up his shirt to show where a bullet passed through his torso and out his back.
“We just want peace and security,” he says, “and we want our homes returned.”
Two of Purna Lama’s younger daughters, 14-year-old Sharmila and 11-year-old Urmila, will march with him this day. But he says it is another daughter whom they will be thinking of during the march.
“My 19-year-old daughter tried to go back to our house just to look – the one the rebels had padlocked,” he says. “When they saw her they told her that they had learned that I hadn’t died. They demanded to know where I was and killed her when she wouldn’t say.”
Now, he says, the family’s tragedy is overwhelming. They have no home and no compensation. Lama says he wants something to come of the peace talks with the Maoists, but he’s not all that hopeful.
“We’ve seen this twice before,” he says. “They talk, then they free the Maoist leaders from jail and they come and kill us again.”
When the group leaves the office to march on the government administration building where Nepali Home Minister Situala is meeting with other Cabinet members, they are a small but energized force of 120.
They carry their children, their homemade signs and a blue banner that lists some of their demands.
As they walk the streets, some beep their horns in support, others shout for them to get out of the way. At the government building they are met by police, who seem empathetic but won’t allow them in to give their petitions to the minister. The gate is closed.
Purna Lama and some of the others can bear their frustrations no more. They begin to yell at the police, calling them “rascals,” demanding to be let in. They are not. Eventually they go away, angry and unfulfilled. But they are not beaten.
The next day, 50 of them go to the prime minister’s residence, where they sit and wait for a meeting with him. They are told he is sick, but they refuse to go away.
The police finally arrest them, hold them for four hours and send them home. They have suffered worse than this, they know, and are willing to suffer a little more until someone finally listens to what they have to say.

You are a bit harsh but correct.
The question I ask my friends here is are people like us who want maoists to lay down their arms and give up their terrorising influencing the people that they are trying to influence? They are a step ahead of us, if even in a very small minority their presence is in sites like this one, they can still strike a small chord here and there, but are we influencing the people out there?
Lets face it. Power corrupts, assumed or otherwise.The dilemma in the context of Nepal is such. In a hurry to tarnished one institution, reality is starting at us with case scenario straight out of Killing Fields and Bolshevik revolution,neither appeals to us.
I stressed that Nepal must unite- we cannot go on arguing endlessly. In order to bring stability in Nepal, we should learn to forge ahead as one no matter the political diferrences. And I see all playing parts in this endavor, from Palace to Maoist if there are true Nepali.
More we fight, less we will have our say in this nation. It has been crystal clear. i believe this has been the agenda of foreign powers who have over extended themselves in Nepal. This is not the question of Monarchy, SPA, Maoist or Rauts. This is for Nepal’ sake.
Tribalhead- you have got it. Force be with you – time now is to tell as it is not beat around the bushes.
I find it really funny Dinesh Ji that you have tried justifying the allegations against the Maoist’s “excesses” using the press statement issued by the (Royal) Nepal Army.
Couldn’t you find any credible source to do that?
Are you suggesting us that we should believe what Army says now onwards just because its Royal tag has been removed!!!
MHZ Ji,
If you look aroung & go through few online news, I am sure you will find much more news on Maoist’s irresposible activities.
Fresh one: Why don’t you go to Himalyantimes online & Himalkhabar.com
I hope it will help you to realize that the Nepal Army’s claims are true & not made up.
Thanks
Also MHZ – Kantipur and Kathmandu Post and the govt news. why don’t you ask the Ministers and the MP’s. Actually why not call someone you know in Birgunj or Rautahat and ask if they are not extorting or did not blow a bomb at a Cogressman’s house. This is no great secret, everyone knows it. It is not a scam or a alleged covbert event it is happening in the open buddy.
Sansar, the Killing Fields is an apt anology. i urge you all to go find that movie and learn what really happened in CAMBODIA. Also go to kanak mani dixit at Dhokaima Cafe (right at patan doha near the rato bangla school-they have great food, too!) and purchase copies of the video
about the war in peru, which has been dubbed into nepali (no subtitles). it is a horrifying look at what the maoists and army can do to destroy a country and what peru did to make peace with the past and move on. kanak mani dixit can sell the videos to you. buy one and then keep passing it on. ask everyone you know to watch it them pass it on. let the word get out there.
There is no end to this. See different reports from non-Maoist media:

http://www.kantipuronline.com/kolnews.php?&nid=74508
What is the way out? Sensationalism? One-sided reporting? What? What is the role of the media in the peace process?
Roshan and sl ji, thanks for that prompt response. But does it really work when you cite the allegations made by an institution that has virtually no credibility!!
Now you guys need Army’s press breifings to make news!! What a pity!!!

hey MHZ
are you mocking us
To Sudeep:
I don’t intend to. But you guys think you are too smart to make us believe in that crap issued by the Army!!
That leaves me no choice buddy. No hard feelings okey!
lets not comment on the ligitimacy of the press release
but the fact is that they are doing so and it is not good for at present circumstances
it is seen that the government is not giving much responses to these activities by the maoists.let government take responses of the activities as soon as possible and take proper management of the PA
otherwise the situation would get worsened
Tribalhead, It’s easy to critize but to be constructive is another matter huh? You either have a solution or are part of the problem.If fear of people like Khum Bdr or Bamdev stops you from doing/saying anything good well what can I say? Might as well end it all right now eh? After all look who is in charge right now-one of the most corrupt politicians Nepal has produced-Girija.
People, negative thinking is really going to get you and this country very far!
With the maoists,the country will be going to dogs.Maoism for China not for Nepal.We only need Democracy.After sometime Maoism will be vanished from the planet like it is from China now.
My heartfelt condolences for Maoism and its followers.
Have a gud time,the maoists.
Tribalhead and those who have similar views. Have you heard of a word called Fatalism? Do you know what it means? According to Dhor Bdr Bista, the late anthropologist, ‘Fatalism’ (along with Nepotism) is the main problem of Nepalese society. It’s basically like ‘why should we even try to do anything good when we know we will fail’ and ‘even if we manage to do something good only others will benefit, so why should we do it?’ Sucks doesn’t it?
Nepalese Army should recruit Maoist Fighters.
91.5MHz
you have a soft sentimant for maoists. The real news i will give you.
Maoists have demanded 20 lakh and more from major Depatment stores from here in ktm. They are just coming to different shops here in ktm and demanding money. We don’t need Nepal Army to say what you are doing. WE criticised RNA when it did a wrong thing just read the previous blogs posted by different bloggers.
Maoists are using indian mobile phones to demand those kinds of money.
Now the truth is lower level maoists don’t want to live their lives working. For them it is more exciting and enjoyable collecting money by extortion.
There might be someone who might be taking advantage of the name maoists. But moaists don’t have a good reputation. Most of them are Ex-maoists, maoists likes to call themselves “naya sarkar” then what is the use of so called “naya sarkar” when they can’t solve the problem of extortion,kidnapping etc after all “janta” wants peace no matter who comes.
Kirat,
Do not theorize or hide behind big words like ‘fatalism’ or ‘nepotism’. Everyone knows. In fact, who said what does not matter here but what we are actually doing matters. Identifying a cause is not a solution to a problem, but acting on it is.
The youths, like you and others, are using your time and energy in theorizing or quoting from the pages of the history only. What actions are the youth of the nation taking to change the present situation? I see practically nothing.
Have any of the youth gone anywhere near the places that has been devastated by the revolution espoused by the Maoists? Or any of the youth have taken any interest in understanding conditions of the ‘internal refugees’ in Kathmandu and helping them out?
The answer is NONE!
Idealism and poetic words do not bring or safe-guard democracy. Quoting someone does not bring a solution. Taking some action does. And that is what none of the Nepalese are interested in.
Maoists are murderers – they have killled thousands and they should face justice. It will be big tragedy for our motherland if they get scott free.
Kirat,
As you did mention Girija being the most corrupt. Well, any one has even thought of protesting against corruption by organizing mass-protest programs? Or even raising the awareness level? Or even pressurizing to enact stringent laws and building institution to check corruption? Where are the youth wings gone? They were very vocal during pro-democracy movement but where are they now?
Has any political party or self-proclaimed human rights activists even had balls to think of organizing any rally against Maoist brutalism in every corner of the country? They were so quick to denounce the Army for its brutal activities quoting figures of causalities. But where does their voice go when the question of Maoists come (except INSEC to larger extent)?
Where are the actions taken to address the fears and concerns of people?
Tribalhead, read your own comments about reform of the RNA. This is blogsite and not a place where I want to brag about what I have done for my country. But I can comment on the political, social and cultural aspects of Nepal here. What’s you problem? If you’re looking for action you won’t find it here dude. This is a forum for discussion.
Don’t talk as if you are the only one who has done something for this country. I am sure lots of bloggers have contributed to the good of the country.
And now they have caught one renegade army guy pretending to be a maoist and trying to extort money. He was obviously caught by a maoist comarade and paraded before the media.
Obviously there will be crooked people in all sectors, and they will capitalise on a trend which the maoists have set. Why not just join the bandwagon? I am sure there are many so called “fake maoists” trying to make a quick buck. But this responsibility should also be borne by the maoists because it is their method and ongoing extortion that has caused this. I found it hilarious really that this comrade catches this crook and parades him for legal action to be taken, but should the laws of the land not apply to their cadres as well? Who is catching the maoists that are extorting?
Tribalhead, by the way why do you assume I am a youth? It’s been years since someone called me that! And your sweeping negative statements about our Nepali youth are exactly the sort of comments that irritate me.
Only an idiot like you can forget that just a month ago the youth of Nepal showed to the world the positive power of the people by forcing the tyrant KG to step down.
