Last month Nepal’s assembly voted to abolish the monarchy.Today the king Gyanendra and his wife Komal moved out from the palace in Kathmandu where his family lived more than a century.There were no tears and no emotional farewell;Nepalese believe that king Gyanendra engineered the palace massacre of 2001,which brought him to the throne.
It is end of the dynasty,beginning of the new era.Nepalese believe the king and his family brought poverty to them and the Maoist rebels are to bring comforts and prosperity in their life.
From kingship to Maoism - we have heard it before.We have experienced it.
Nepal – Beware lest you should be cheated.
