REPORTS FROM THE REVOLUTION IN NEPAL

For ten years the people of Nepal, led by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), have been waging a revolutionary struggle to overthrow the reactionary, feudal monarchy. The Revolutionary United Front now control most of the country and have negotiated with the reconvened government to hold genuine, free elections to a constituent assembly which would draw up a constitution for a republican, new democratic state.

In April foreign volunteers went to Nepal to help with road-building in a liberated area. This was when there were mass demonstrations demanding the end of the King’s autocratic rule and the video includes these events.



·* A report on the political situation in Nepal from a member of Nepali Samaj (Nepalese Society)

What will happen after the constituent assembly elections next year? Can a new democratic republic lead on to socialism? Will armed struggle be necessary again?

These are some of the important issues which can be discussed at these meeting about the most significant revolutionary struggle in the world today.

Community arts and creative activist collective The Mischief Makers have build a giant syringe in support of UNISON's march to 'Defend the NHS' on Saturday. The syringe will read 'Inject more into the NHS' and is made in an effort to show solidarity to NHS workers as well as acknowledging that the ongoing cuts in and privitisation of the National Health Service is something that should concern everyone. The Mischief Makers also hope to add a more creative element to Saturday's march and rally, organised by UNISON, UK's largest union. The march will start from 10.30am on the Forest Recreation Ground. Come along and show your support!
