A little-known group, the International Nepal Solidarity Forum (INSoF), says it has begun a campaign to discourage tourists from visiting Nepal. The group says its aim is to strangle an income source which it claims is used by government to pay for atrocities (against the Maoists). The Germany-based group?which believes the Maoist insurgency is a necessity?is co-ordinated by one Janak Sharma and claims to have a committee of seven backing the campaign: two Nepalis, two Germans, one Iranian, one Turk and one Peruvian.
