PUBLIC MEETINGS

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.



·* A video report from a member of the Second International Brigade to visit Nepal

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.
19.30, Wednesday 22nd. November, St. Matthews Church, Carver Street, Sheffield

19.30, Thursday 23rd. November, International Community Centre, Mansfield Road, Nottingham
