• Nepal crisis deepens, a year after king's takeover

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - When Nepal's King Gyanendra sacked the government and took absolute power last February, he vowed to quell a bloody Maoist revolt, bring peace and good governance, and then restore democracy within three years.

A year on, none of his promises are even close to being fulfilled, analysts and diplomats say. On the contrary, the Maoists are as strong as ever, violence is rising and the aid-dependent economy is in tatters.

A campaign to restore democracy is gaining momentum, and people in the world's only Hindu monarchy are even talking openly about a republic, an idea once thought blasphemous in a country where many people see the king as a god.

"An Insult to the People", Nepal's popular magazine 'Himal' said on its cover this week, in a damning verdict on a year of royal rule.

"All institutions and systems have been destroyed and he has failed to create anything new," said Rajendra Dahal, Himal's editor. "He has isolated himself and the monarchy internally and externally."

Dahal said the king appeared not to care about his subjects or their security, even cutting off communication links to the impoverished Himalayan kingdom "on a whim" to prevent protests.

"Had this been the 17th Century it would probably be okay," he said. "But it's not done in the 21st Century."

When he took power on Feb. 1, 2005, the 58-year-old king said political parties had failed to tackle the Maoists, who have been fighting since 1996 to abolish the monarchy and establish one-party communist rule.

On Wednesday, the first anniversary of his controversial move, King Gyanendra will address the nation at 9 a.m. (0315 GMT), state TV said on Tuesday without elaborating.

Critics say the king's assault on political parties has simply played into the Maoists' hands.

Politicians have been jailed and protests curbed, sometimes violently. And by refusing to talk to the political parties, King Gyanendra has driven them to form a reluctant, although still loose, alliance with the Maoists against him.

The rebels also scored political points when they called a unilateral ceasefire in September. The king refused to follow suit, and the Maoists called off the truce in January.

FUTURE GRIM

The revolt has killed more than 13,000 people, badly hurt tourism and forced tens of thousands of people to flee the violence-torn countryside.

Last year was particularly violent, with 2,000 deaths, the army said on Monday. That compares to an average of 1,200 per year in previous years.

Nor is the economy as resilient as it once was. The Asian Development Bank says GDP growth slowed to 2.0 percent in the financial year ending July 2005, from 3.2 in the previous year and 4.8 percent in 2001.

"Nepal is in a situation where everyone is less certain about the future," said a Kathmandu-based diplomat. "The king has grim realities to address."

The king has called municipal elections for Feb. 8 in what his ministers have billed as a first step towards restoring democracy. But the political parties, who were not consulted about the plan and will boycott the vote, see the elections as another confrontational gesture designed to sideline them.

Anger is mounting and anti-king protests have escalated with tens of thousands of people taking to the streets this year. Another big protest is planned on Wednesday.

On Jan. 20, the royalist government imposed a curfew, cut off phone lines and detained hundreds of activists to thwart a similar rally.

On Tuesday, hundreds of political activists across the country were detained in an apparent bid to prevent protests, political parties said.

In Kathmandu, riot police detained dozens of women activists ahead of a rally against the municipal elections.

"The king is misusing power and is arrogant to suppress the people who are against him," said Laxmi Prasad Kattel, a 23-year-old company executive in Kathmandu.

"He has no support of the people. He has failed to deliver on what he promised."

В данном случае речь идет об установленном факте, не отрицаемом ни самими напальскими маоистами, ни ООН.91.76.40.163 21:18, 21 января 2011 (UTC)
