[Marxism] Nepal crisis as Maoists sack army chief

[Stuart Munckton]

The Maoists staked their participation in the government on sacking the
insubordinate army chief - the Maoist minister for finance told tens of
thousands of people at the May Day rally that they could not remain in the
government in the army head wasn't sacked, but would return to the streets.

Now they have done it, potentially brought down severe punishment from
India, some coalition partners appear to have left government, and the army
chief is refusing to accept the decision.

Nepal heading itno a tumultous period as reaction and imperialism try and
stop the Maoist-led push to transform the country.


"Chief of Army sacked- not accepting decision. Coalition parteners leaving
government, Opposition disrupting capital, public rallies to support
government, attempts to overthrown gov."
