Nepal Maoists in standoff with government - 18 Nov 09

Maoists in Nepal brought tens of thousands of supporters onto the streets of the capital Kathmandu to protest against the governing coalition.

The Moaists' party lost power in May, after the president overruled their decision to sack the army chief.

They are demanding that the government debate the issue of presidential power.

Nepal is still in the process of implementing the peace deal between the government and the Maoists, but as Tony Birtley reports, with neither side willing to compromise, the demonstrations will continue and the country's fragile peace process remain stalled.

All religions are not created equally, and the Religions in the area of Nepal, Tibet, and Northern India are Sacred Relics to the lost knoweldge of pre-deluvian periods.. It's a shame that they are so distracted by something as dull and pointless as maoism when they have all the Eternal and meaningful answers right in front of them.. =(
