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. http://www.monthlyreview.org/0102bhattarai.htm
