T0: Mr.Editor,
Sub: About the present critical situation of Nepal.
We would like to introduce our self as Nepali with the true nationalistic feelings. We are proud to be the citizen of a country, which never has been a colony in its history. Nepal boasts being a country of natural diversification, multicultural, multi-ethnic and rich of heritage which is a piece of heaven on earth. And above all a peace loving nation. But since last ten Years we have been suffering disturbances aroused by the insurgents, more than 13,000 people have lost their lives and thousands
Have been displaced.
The most recent developments among the seven political parties and the
Insurgent Maoist in the April,06, has brought some relieve to us. This is the first step towards the peace process; hopefully it will lead towards the long lasting peaceful settlement of the political crisis in Nepal.
The SPA and the Maoist have reached an agreement to make a new constitution and the formation of interim government, there has been stalemate when the Arms management issue is there. So there has been
A request to the UN to be a mediator. Which we Nepali in America take positively. There is no argument that the Maoist should lay down their arms if they want to join the mainstream of the politics. They also should vow that they will follow the democratic ways to come to power, in the future. They should be ready to transform themselves. If they have the true Nepali heart in them.
UN has played a great role for the establishment of peace and democracy in the different parts of the world. There is no two opinion about it, being a member of UN Nepal also has contributed, by sending the peace keeping troops to the various troubled parts of the world. And they have proven the very best. Most recently they are coming to Lebanon, too.
Nepal’s geopolitical situation is also a unique; it is sandwiched between two giant nations India and China, with two different types of political systems. So the strategic importance of Nepal does not have to be elaborated more.
While choosing a system for Nepal one should keep on mind that its geo political position so that it can keep up its own identity as it has been doing so since it became a Nation.
We Nepali people do not want to face the similar situation like in Afghanistan or East Timor or Iraq, while trying to put back the democracy on track. While trying to solve some critical situations we should follow the practical ways and means, rather than blindly following an idealistic theory.
We are sure under the leadership of the general Secretary Mr. Kofi Annan, the UN team will find out the best solution in management of arms and proceed the peace process, in this crucial moment, we also urge to the leaders of Nepal to solve this problem now.
We will be happy to work together with the UN or if we can be of any help to you, please let us know. We the “Motherland Nepal” as an institution is ready and willing to help. So that the fundamental rights of Nepali people to live in peace, be fulfilled. We want the peace and the prosperity in the world, not only in Nepal.
