Peace has broken down completely in the country of Muhammad
Younis, the Nobel Peace prize-winner for the year 2006. The New Year started in
Bangladesh
with riots, strikes, political unrest, turmoil, confusion and disorder. After
weeks of street violence, which has taken 40 lives, the President of
Bangladesh, Iajuddin Ahmed, has been forced to step down from his post appointing Fakhruddin as the
head of a state in total disarray.
From a position of
enormous strength, controlling 75% of Nepalese territory, the Maoists have
agreed to form a coalition government, integrate their guerrilla forces into
the bourgeois army, and limit their goal to achieving some kind of Republic in
the future. But this will not solve any of the fundamental economic and social
problems facing the Nepalese masses.
