I was very impressed by what our Royal Army Chief said about the situation of this country (Who brought the nation to its present condition?, #88). The answer, of course, is: these corrupt and visionless politicians. In the name of democracy they have looted us Nepalis and divided our nation along ethnic lines.

As a Nepali citizen, the Chief has every right to question these anti-nationals. The Nepali people have lost all faith in their elected leaders, no matter which political grouping they belong to. What we need now is a change like in Pakistan so these manipulators of the public trust are banished. We Nepalis want peace, we want honesty, and we want development. Enough is enough.
