Another news about the Moist sitation. Here it goes....
'KATHMANDU, Nepal (Reuters) - Six women inmates, all suspected Maoist rebels, escaped from a jail in west Nepal through a small tunnel they had dug, newspapers reported on Sunday.
Home (interior) Ministry spokesman Gopendra Bahadur Pandey told Reuters the escape occurred at Gorkha district jail, 150 km (93 miles) west of the capital, Kathmandu, and said an investigation was underway.
The Kathmandu Post and other dailies said all six inmates were members of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), a rebel group that is fighting against the Himalayan kingdom's constitutional monarchy.
Over 1,550 people have been killed in violence across Nepal since the Maoist insurgency started five years ago.
The rebel group has been compared with Peru's Shining Path movement, and says it is campaigning to set up a one-party communist republic in the impoverished nation...'
It's strange that this Napalese "civil war" doesn't get to international headlines as often as those in other places, like in Sri Lanka or Peru. I really hope that the world isn'
t forgetting them, and what the Moist course has led the poor country into.
It's good to be here in this HI forum, where people not only appreciate such exotic blades and bladesmith, but are also genuinely interest in way of lives of people who make and use one of the finest forms of blades human ever invented. Please keep sharing your thoughts and what you know.
Best wishes
