whau good news

Really good news.....

नेपाली काँग्रेस ७५
एमाले ७३
माअ‍ोवादी ७३
प्रजातान्त्रिक काँग्रेस ४२
बाँकी दल ४८

[एमाले अन्तिम समयसम्म माअ‍ोवादीभन्दा एक सिट मात्र भए पनि बढी पाउनु पर्ने अडान राखेको थियो। तर जनमत संग्रह लगायतका अन्य मागहरुमा फेल खाए जस्तै यो माग पनि एमालेको पूरा हुन सकेन। योसँगै १० वर्षभन्दा बढी सशस्त्र विद्रोह गरेको पार्टी नेकपा माअ‍ोवादी अ‍ौपचारिक रुपमा राजनीतिक मूलधारमा आएको छ। ]

- अन्तरिम संविधानसम्बन्धी केही बाधा अडचन आएमा संवैधानिक अदालतले त्यसको निराकरण गर्नेछ। संवैधानिक अदालत गठन गर्ने पनि सहमति भएको छ।

- संविधान सभाको निर्वाचन मिश्रित प्रणालीमा हुनेछ। (यो काँग्रेसको अवधारणा हो। माअ‍ोवादी र एमालेले सुरुदेखि मिश्रित प्रणाली हुनुपर्ने माग राखेका थिए। पछि प्रम र प्रचण्डको वार्तामा माअ‍ोवादी मिश्रितमा जान राजी भएको थियो)

-संविधान सभाको लागि मतदान गर्न पाउने उमेर १८ वर्षको हुनेछ। (लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्रको पक्षमा प्रचार गर्न थाले भयो अब। यसअघि १६ वर्ष गर्ने कि भन्ने बारेमा लामो छलफल भएको थियो)

Nepal govt, Maoists sign peace deal
NDTV Correspondent

Tuesday, November 7, 2006 (Kathmandu):

Nepal government and the Maoists have signed a historic deal to end the 10-year armed insurgency and bring the rebels to mainstream politics.

After a marathon 16-hour meeting between top leaders of the Seven-Party Alliance (SPA) and the rebels, the two sides decided to constitute a 330-member Interim Parliament.

They will also form an interim government inclusive of the Maoists and hold elections for the new Assembly in May 2007.

However, the government and the Maoists have also agreed not to abolish the country's monarchy until the new Assembly is elected.

Prime Minister and Nepali Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala, Maoist Chief Prachanda, CPN-UML General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal and Nepali Congress (Democratic) President Sher Bahadur Deuba took part in the crucial meeting, among others.

The two sides also decided to lock up the Maoist arms and confine their combatants in cantonments by November 21. The rebels are to lay down arms under UN supervision, ahead of national elections. (With PTI inputs)

JAYA NEPAL

C CNN Writes

KATHMANDU, Nepal (Reuters) -- Nepal's government and Maoist rebels agreed minutes after midnight on Wednesday to put rebel arms under U.N. watch, a key move to rescue a faltering peace process aimed at ending a conflict that has killed thousands.

"The Nepali people want peace and democracy. This agreement is a significant step in this direction," Prakash Sharan Mahat, a senior leader of the Nepali Congress (Democratic), a member of the ruling seven-party alliance, told Reuters.

"The rebels will be kept in camps where cameras and other mechanisms will be installed to monitor the arms," Mahat said, adding: "An equal number of arms held by the government army will also be locked."

The agreement caps two days of intense talks headed by Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala and Maoist chief Prachanda, supported by negotiators from both sides as well as leaders of the ruling alliance.

The pact says that the monarchy will continue in an almost powerless form until a constituent assembly -- which will be elected in 2007 -- takes a final decision on its fate.

Earlier, the Maoists had been demanding the abolition or suspension of the monarchy before the elections to the assembly.

"The first meeting of a constituent assembly will take a decision about the future of monarchy," Mahat said.

The assembly will prepare a new constitution which was a key demand of the Maoists to end their revolt which has left more than 13,000 people dead.

The rebels, fighting since 1996 to topple the monarchy, and the government announced a truce and began negotiations soon after King Gyanendra ceded absolute power following violent street protests in April.

But a dispute over disarming the rebel army had remained a sticking point because the Maoists had refused to lay down their guns before elections to the assembly.

After several lengthy rounds of talks and pressure from the international community, the rebels earlier said they had agreed to keep their 35,000-strong force in temporary camps and lock up their weapons under U.N. supervision in return for a pledge from the government to keep an equal number of its arms locked up.

Aasa garu varosa naparum.

Its good to be hopeful but can't ignore the bitter truth either. Maoists are already in ktm, and they r asking residents of ktm valley to provide free shelter and food to their friends. They say its request but its extortion in disguise. The news is just a calmness before the big storm. Personally I don't see any good thing coming out of it but we can pray for it.
