“The Maoists will not stop the stir until the fall of the illegal and unconstitutional government and the formation of the National Government”, he said at the PB meeting held in Koteshwor Kathmandu, June 29, 2009. “The next government should be led by the Maoists party”, Dahal added. The Maoist’ politburo meeting also passed Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s 19 Pages long political proposal with amendments that favour yet another revolt if the constitution is not drafted on time. With half of the politburo members (22 of 44) supporting senior leader Mohan Baidya Kiran’s proposal for revolt to form the National Government, Chairman Dahal was forced to incorporate the dissenting voices as well, reports add. Talking to journalists Dahal said after the meeting that after a long discussion the party has decided to form the National Government. However, Dahal did not disclose who will lead the Next national Government.

interesting. my understanding is that a few months ago kirans supporting factions was much smaller amongst the leadership of the party. this appears to be a positive development.

Dear all,
The internal debate that has been going on for a while between UCPN(Maoist) and CPI(Maoist) is made open now by the CPI(Maoist) for a debate world over. This is published by World Peoples’ Resistence Movement(Briton) in their web site.
Open Letter to CPN (Maoist)
Dear Comrades!
We have been keenly following the recent developments taking place in your country, Nepal. With the CPN(M) emerging as the single largest party in the elections to the Constituent Assembly in April 2008 and the formation of the new government consisting of a coalition of several Parties, some of which are known for their anti-people, pro-feudal, pro-imperialist and pro-Indian expansionist past, an ideological-political debate has arisen in the entire revolutionary camp in India and the world regarding the path, strategy, and tactics pursued by your Party, the CPN(M), in advancing the revolution in Nepal. There have also been reports in the media concerning the proposal of your Party leadership to change the name of the Party by removing the term ‘Maoist’. All these make it all the more urgent to conduct a deeper debate on the ideological-political line pursued by the CPN(M), particularly after it came to power through elections, after a decade-long people’s war and forming the government with some of the arch-reactionaries who had earned the wrath of the Nepalese masses.

Paul, if im not mistaken the statement you posted is an article we posted today which we titled, “CPI (Maoist) Internationalist statement on the recent turmoil in Nepal” (which is only a slightly less cumbersome title =) )

Dear N3wday,
I apologise, I didn’t realise that you have already posted it. It is good to know that the neighbouring Communist Party ie., the CPI(Maoist) is fulfilling its responsibility of proletarian internationalism by strongly supporting the revolution in Nepal, though critical of the leadership of UCPN(Maoist) on issues like disarming and demobilising of the PLA, abandoning the base areas and the great revolutionary achievements of the decade-long people’s war, policy of appeasement adopted towards Indian expansionism, and so on.
I apologise once again, N3wday.

no problem =)
we often add our own title for the sidebar to clarify what the article is, or to add a little political flare, then include the original title at the beginning of the article in its main body. it can be deceptive if you are looking for something specific.
