27-01-2009 23:24

27-01-2009 19:15
The arrival of the Obama administration will not fundamentally alter the course of military expansion accelerated during the Bush era.

25-01-2009 11:33
Since the Maoists emerged in the April 2008 Nepal elections as the largest party (though without an absolute majority) to lead the new coalition government, they have failed to heal existing divisions - in their own party, within the parliamentary political system and its ruling class - or within the intermingled social, caste and ethnic tensions across the wider society. In fact, all these divides have widened. And since November a strike wave has spread across the country.
