Situation in Nepal

[Fawkes]

I know that Nepal is an extremely poor monarchy, but what else makes it bad. What makes the gov't so terrible there, i mean, i am totally against monarchies, but what has that particular monarchy done that's is so terrible?

Killed lots of people, supressed dissent, destroyed republicanism...etc.

Well, the Royal Nepalese Army is known to deal with revolutionary villages by entering them, killing all of the men, raping all of the women, pillaging all of the wealth of the villagers, and then burning the entire village to the ground. Sometimes the Royal Nepalese Army finds that the revolutionary villages are too well defended, so they just do it to one of the villages in their own territory to send a horrifying message to all of the other villages out of their reach.

The King also led a fascist coup on February 5, 2005, in which he banned parliament, and and unleashed a whole new wave of repression.

Recently, he banned all radio stations other than his own, cut off telephone and cell phone access to the entire country, and disconnected internet access for the entire country. Once he had done that, he unleashed a WAVE of undocumented mass arrests and dissappearances... Of thousands of people! Many of them are believed to be dead. However, many of them were liberated from the prisons by the heroic People's Liberation Army, too.

The King continues to suppress dissent by arresting opposition leaders such as Madhav Kumar Nepal, the general secretary of the United Marxist Leninist Party in a raid of his home. It was only recently that the Supreme Court ordered the release of Hridayesh Tripathi, the general secretary of the Nepal Sadbhavana Party who has been detained for several months.

As for the Royal Nepalese Army, there have been many allegations of human rights abuses though they have been praised for their efforts to combate poaching :lol: .

The Royal Nepalese Army has been praised for its efforts to combat the poaching and illegal trade of wildlife.
The army, more often the recipient of criticism for alleged human rights abuses, has received an award from the UN wildlife protection body Cites.

Cites said they were recognising "exemplary efforts" to combat poaching and illegal trade, particularly in leopards, rhinoceros and tiger.

An army spokesman told the BBC they were very happy to have been honoured.

Officers from the army and the Royal Chitwan National Park Authority arrested over 30 people for wildlife crimes during 2004 and 2005.

Many of these people were subsequently given prison sentences.

Officers also seized skins, horns and bones, as well as illegal earnings.

Fighting on many fronts

Cites, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, awarded a certificate of commendation to the army and the park authority.

Cites Secretary General Willem Wijnstekers praised the Nepalese authorities for their commitment to protecting biodiversity at a time when law enforcement agencies face many other demands on their time and resources.
