Nepal is in the midst of a severe crime epidemic. Kidnapping gangs roam the capital and a new-armed insurgency erupts in the South. Many Nepalese feel less secure now than they did during the civil war.
Since the end of Nepals civil war 3 years ago, the state has remained paralyzed by political in-fighting, allowing criminal groups to thrive. One human rights organisation estimates that over 2,100 people have been kidnapped for ransom and many believe the surge in crime is due to political parties protecting criminals, The line is blurred between crime and politics. In Kathmandu, criminal gangs focus on kidnapping the middle classes who lack political connections. Their favoured targets are businessmen and shop-owners of Indian origin, commonly known as Marwaris. Lacking trust in their government, people have turned to displays of collective violence to get results. Earlier this year, they directed their fury at kidnappers. Within 1 month, 15 people were brutally lynched by angry mobs in Terai but all of those attacked were innocent. The Terai, has become worse than everit has become very, very violent.

kidnappings would stop if people stopped paying the ransom money, and it would help if more of us had a gun with us at all times, if each person kidnaped had killed one of the kidnappers there would be less of them. but people are stupid and fund the kidnapers by giving them money. it's a kill or be killed world and the weak will parish :)

and they demand a lot of money too.that money not even the middle class westerner can pull it together.its not the only country where this happens though. Mexico , colombia and Brazil have the highest rate of kidnappings.FYI helping is fine but having the ressources to help is a whole nother thing altogether and if you add fear in the mix the chances to catch the culprits are slim. I feel sorry for them . I really do .

It is very rude to disrespect someone's race.Now it is unfortunate that this has to happen to these middle class working businessmen who are trying to make a living for themselves and their families and having to be afraid for their lives becuz there may b a chance that they are next to b kidnapped.I don't understand how other countries aren't aware of this and trying to help.Don't we all want world peace?
