Those here who are interested in news from Nepal know that in late
November the truce ended between the revolutionaries and the government
of the new king Gyanendra (king by virtue of the massacre of the old
king and his entire immediate family). The royal government imposed a
state-of-emergency marked by rigid press censorship and mass arrests on
November 26th, and sporadic fighting has resumed at new and higher
levels pretty much from one end of Nepal to the other. Today Monthly
Review put up on its website the first comment from the leadership of
the Nepali revolutionaries to the international community since the
events of the last week of November.
