Terrorists Try To Destroy Nepal But Cannot Win
By Kamala Sarup 
A Nepali army contingent pay their last respects to soldiers killed.
Maoists lined up 40 soldiers and shot them in the head and cut off parts of their bodies. In an extreme show of barbarism, the terrorists killed and mutilated our soldiers and our innocent people.
Maoist terror has caused major setbacks to development in our beautiful country.
This Maoist terrorism is an all-encompassing threat that has ruined the sleep of many thinkers today. The future looks bleak and with no vision of a decent life, there is fear at every step, making the life of innocent people a journey into a veritable hell. We are living in the shadow of terrorism.
The terrorists have once again proved that they are the biggest enemies of our freedom, sovereignty, democracy, security and our children's future. It has become almost inevitable that we wake up every morning to the news that many innocent lives have been lost. Often, by the time we wake up, the army or the Maoists have already retaliated.
The silent majority of Nepal has suffered greatly. Many young boys and girls have been sacrificed in the prime of their youth. It is a senseless loss of Nepalese blood on our Motherland's sacred soil.
All of the political parties have tasted and enjoyed power in one way or another in the multiparty dispensation over the past twelve or thirteen years. The misrule of these mainstream parties has caused Nepal to face economic collapse, social degradation and political degeneration.
But what do innocent Nepalis want today? They want the nation to be free, prosperous and happy. To be truly free and really prosperous and happy, we require an open democratic atmosphere of mutual understanding, tolerance, peace and cooperation.
We should let all ideas, all concepts and all philosophies to have an interplay for the free selection and adoption in which every individual and every section of our people will have easy access and willing participation for a better tomorrow.
Our main objective should be a free and fearless life for us.
Maoists only try to destroy us but we will be patient, we will be steadfast in our determination to have "peace". This battle will take time and resolve. But make no mistake about it: we will win peace.
