REPUBLIC OF NEPAL
Nepal assembly abolishes the monarchy, gives king 15 days to vacate palace
KATHMANDU, Nepal - Nepal's legislators abolished the monarchy and declared the country a republic Wednesday, ending 239 years of royal rule in the Himalayan country.
The newly elected assembly, led by the former communist rebels, adopted the resolution at its first meeting by an overwhelming majority. King Gyanendra has been given 15 days to leave his palace in central Kathmandu.
Across Kathmandu, young men marched with red flags as Nepalis celebrated what many see as the culmination of a two-year peace process with the rebels that began after weeks of unrest forced the king to restore democracy.

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — The palace where Nepal's former king once lived will be converted into a museum that will offer the public a glimpse of royal life, including the ex-monarch's throne and a vintage car given as a gift by Adolf Hitler, the government said Monday.
Items on display at the museum will include valuable artifacts accumulated by the Shah dynasty in its 239-year rule of the Himalayan nation, according to Home Secretary Umesh Mainali. Officials hope the museum will be finished in six weeks, although an opening date has not been set.

DEMOCRACY-NICE START! :p
A bomb exploded near a mass rally in the capital being addressed by leader of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) -- former communist rebels who have emerged as the largest political party. No one was hurt in the blast, and police were investigating.
* thousands of people thronging the streets singing and dancing
* royal flag was removed from the main palace here,
* new power: lawmakers led by former Maoist guerrillas. :)
* the royal insignia placed in front of the royal palace was removed ...(Lenin?)
* national flag double-triangular shapedhaving the symbols of sun and moon
* the two-hectare palace complex, will be converted into a museum.
* Hundreds of enthusiasts chanted anti-King slogans, recited revolutionary poems and danced and sang in front of television cameras. (noobs)
* a group of people tried to install the national flag on top of the main gate of the palace, prompting police to resort to baton-charge to disperse them, (muhahahahahahahah...i know this stile!)
* the backbone of Nepalese economy= the tourism
* Bats always turn left when exiting a cave!
To keep in line with the thread:

Many countries in Latin America and elsewhere are going 'red'.
"Don't mess with China, if all their soldiers take off their hats and throw them at you, we will be buried alive."
Morbid statistic, if one million Chinese are killed per year, their total population still rises.
Chernobyl was tragic without a doubt, so was Three Mile Island. But nuclear energy will be on the rise again with the waning supply and rising costs of fossil fuels.

Stop counting!
Look at the "Cernobil" incident...
After more then 20 years all is dead there!
China GDP $3.2 trillion
US GDP $13.8 trillion
China military budget: $59 billion (1.7% of GDP)
US military budget: $484 billion (4% of GDP).
China:
No aircraft carriers, 200 nukes, no 'overseas' military installations
US:
12 aircraft carriers, 9,200 nukes, over 600 'overseas' military installations
Litmus test - Taiwan.

There?
Nepal,Burma or East-ears?
canarybird...10 points for this post! :)
Idealists - on paper the situation looks great everthing belongs to the people - but in reality everything belongs to the new government and their brothers and their cousins and their freinds and their girlfriends etc., etc.
So pray tell me where do the people belong here?
Take a look at DDR, Russia, Rumania, Hungary, Bulgaria what was left after the communists left - basically nothing what were they doing all thes years except exploiting foreigners or tourists (exchange of money where you could not buy anything for it)who were and are the poor in these countries certainlly not the big boys. Nepal with or without the King was and is poor - are changes expected?
Take the DDR as an example who had a bank full of money when he left Hoenecker of course not to mention HIS lifestyle behind the iron curtain.!!!
Oh and what about Burma? How is that faring with communism, from my perspective not to well at the present???
Food for thought I would say!!!!
nepal has endedup the king monarchy and now it is on era to built a new nepal... nepalese had given a chance for all parties and king also to biult up nepal and establish peace and prosperity and this is the first chance to maiost.. hope they do something great for nepalese... atleat mantain a labour law like fixing the minimun salary for labours working abroad like qatar, where the are being paid nothing like 300-500 riyal per month and work of 12hrs per day... lets hope to see the changes soon...
now definitely the tourism will get higher on this himalayan kingdom.... i love mountains with full of ice... especailly when u see in the sunrise.. like a golden mountain...
Remember the Prague Spring, 1968
The western countries offered only vocal criticism following the invasion — the reality of nuclear standoff in the Cold War meant the western countries were in no position to challenge Soviet military force in Central Europe. A more pronounced effect took place in Communist Romania, where the leader , already a staunch opponent of Soviet influences and one to have declared himself on Dubček's side, held a public speech in Bucharest on the day of the invasion, depicting Soviet policies in harsh terms. While Romania engaged briefly on the same side of the barricade as Josip Broz Tito's Yugoslavia, the alliance was purely conjectural (as romanian leader was already proved to be opposed to the principle of a Socialism with a human face). It did however consolidate Romania's independent voice in the next decades, especially after romanian leader encouraged the population TO TAKE UP THE ARMS in order to meet any similar maneuver in that country: he received an enthusiastic initial response, with many people who were by no means communist willing to enroll in the newly-formed paramilitary Patriotic Guards.
I will add one more:)

Buy 1 kilo berries.Keep the cream.
I am afraid that Communist regime will not have power to help them. Indians have biggest community here and in UAE, in UAE they are majority, they have their powerful people in Institutions and nobody takes care about workers rights.
Agree that Nepalese workers are the best.

Colonial? Dude, I was praising the fact that you knew your stuff....
..Jesus Christ, but seriously whenever you get another chance to take a jab at me, go right ahead. You have absolutely no idea who I am or what I stand for, but that's ok, because I'm just a random QL-er, right?
Berries and cream! Berries and cream! I'm a little lad who loves berries, and CREAM!
Asian countryes?
Honestly, how many countries take the time or effort to worry about their citizens in other countries. Taking into account the revenues going back home, you would think everything possible.

good point Rotarian
In fact nepali workers are the best.
Do you think the new Communist power can fight for their basic rights?
Some vietnamese workers can say: tasty nepali :)
• I am not interested in politics , either communism or royalist or democratic, just I am seeing Nepalese workers stranded in Doha airport , I am seeing Nepalese workers not getting salary since six-month , I am seeing forced Nepalese labor, I am seeing abandoned Nepalese worker, just I am thinking that who can take care all about it ? Is here any Brave Nepali who can work for these worker ? Who can fight for their basic rights ? Who can feed them ? Who can follow up their case ? These all innocent face looking for better future in desert do you thing are they getting anything ?
First the veterans and now the country...
" Nepal’s Gurkha veterans abandoned soldiers of the Queen after decades of cuts in their numbers.
Those who have returned to Nepal are given low,
or no pensions"
Shame
Yes I remember, I learned these things in school. Our governments were very close until Tito died.

...many times actually, but one of the most recent was after the Vietnam war with America! We still whooped their azzes. But they are so much stronger now!

Now in english:

As it stands written forever in the Book of Heaven.
How dare those barbarians invade our land?
Your armies, without pity, will be annihilated.
Dracula....Yes it is, but strange thing is that my country Yugoslavia was the only developed communist country. Tito was very strange player, he was the only one who was brave on 1948 to say to Stalin big NO. Old "good" Stalin was very angry and we didnt have any close relations with Soviets until beginning of sixties I think. Tito wanted good relations with both sides, West and East.

Example of their "Aid package".....
Botswana... required new roads and housing. Contract awarded to CHINESE GOVERNMENT not pvt company. Thousands of labourers imported from China (no locals hired so no help to local people at all). There "labourers" are infact Chinese convicts who are there to work off part of sentence. No pay, live in squalour type camps. Guess where all the money goes.....to Chinese Government.

Secguy, dont forget India
Communist movements in India were almost as prone to corruption and criminalization as others and it should not be inferred that Communism was an especially positive force.
vukpop, same scenary bro...
they sold us on the "fish market"
Guess who's "financialy aiding" regimes like Zimbabwe, Congo, infact anywhere were there are minerals or diamonds, uranium etc. China is the new "master" come to literally strip the countries of their wealth.

27 March 1941. our King Peter II was forced, by part of Government and some parts of Army which were supported by Britains, to abdicate the throne too. Four years latter after fighting Nazis and after bloody civil war came communists leaded by Tito and supported by Britains. Decades of misery too.

...I mean, WHY? They are so small and insignificant and right next to Vietnam, not China! *SIGH*

The spread of the "Red Horde" is becomming prevelent in the East. Tibet and now Nepal? Who's next I wonder. Already they are becomming a major force in Africa.

No no not nice, communism didn't bring anything good anywhere.
"Omne vincit amor et nos cedamus amori"
Result= 50 years of misery...
Strange, huh...same "red" history:
Our King Michael was forced to abdicate Romania's throne. Later the same day, the Communists announced the abolition of the monarchy and its replacement by a People's Republic, broadcasting the King's pre-recorded radio proclamation of his own abdication. After only 1 day, Michael was forced to leave the country, followedover a week later by Princesses Elisabeth.
Agree with you, Chine is something different and they are already superpower, no doubt. But I am not sure that these guys in Nepal will follow Chinese model.
"Omne vincit amor et nos cedamus amori"
If I was a betting man. I'd say they would be the next superpower within the next decade!

Maoists and democracy? No way

Are they going to take all his money too?
