The People’s War in
Nepal has entered a new stage, where it faces the most serious and concentrated
attack to date from the reactionary classes. Following the collapse of the
negotiations held between the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and the Royal
Government of Nepal in late November, Prime Minister Deuba revealed the
reactionary nature of his government by ordering the Royal Nepal Army to attack
the armed forces under the leadership of the CPN(M). At the same time, draconian
measures against the rights of the people of Nepal and all political opposition
were also introduced.
Under theleadership
of Chairman Prachanda, the CPN(M) has been the leading the masses of the country
to confront the new challenges to the revolution. The forces under the
leadership of the CPN(M), now organised on a higher level and given the name
People’s Liberation Army, countered with strong blows aimed at the enemy’s army.
Throughout the
countryside the consolidation of the political power of the people has reached
new heights and a national leadership entitled the United Revolutionary People’s
Council (URPC), with Comrade Baburam Bhattarai as the Convenor, has been
announced to the country and the world.
The enemy has been
badly stung and is striking out wildly in every direction in hopes of recovering
their lost positions. There have been numerous incidents of wanton massacre of
innocent civilians. Various imperialist and reactionary powers, fearful of the
powerful example that the revolution in Nepal is providing in the South Asia
region and the world at a time when a world-wide crusade against "terrorism" has
been proclaimed to prop up the imperialist system, have been quick to offer
their political and military aid to the reactionary ruling class.
At this time of an
important juncture in the ongoing People’s War in Nepal, it is important for the
Revolutionary Internationalist Movement and its parties and organisations to
reiterate our full support for the struggle our comrades in Nepal are waging,
and our confidence in their ultimate victory.
Glory to the People’s
War in Nepal!
Down with the
Reactionary Nepalese Monarchy!
Forward to a New
Democratic Republic!
