As one of the most violent Maoist leaders is voted Prime Minister, we ask, can Nepals new republic find the peace it so desperately needs? The struggle cost the lives of 13,000 people and denied the country millions of tourist dollars. Headmasters were executed in schools and their children stolen for re-education. In the village of Beni, a shocking attack against government officials spilled into the streets. The idea was to attack the government machinery, give a blow to the morale of the security forces, says journalist Kunda Dixit. Their brutal guerrilla leader Prachanda was so enigmatic there were rumours he didnt actually exist. He did exist, and in April was voted as Nepals first Prime Minister. The snappy dressing middle class teacher is hardly an emblem of class struggle, yet Prachanda maintains that communism isnt at the top of his agenda. We are fighting against feudalism, to establish a democratic republic. Yet, with the King toppled, why do many remain convinced theres still a war to fight?
