"Nepal has been in political turmoil since King Gyanendra fired the former prime minister in October 2002, used his executive powers to dissolve parliament and appointed a new government, including Mr. Thapa last June."
Let's hope this isn't the downward spiral it looks to be. This kinda stuff lays the groundwork for the guys with the biggets guns to get their way...Nazis threatend, lied, extorted, took prisoners/hostages, etc. to extend their political reach...
