Extend Or Not To Extend The Term Of UNMIN
By KTM Metro Reporter
August 28, 2010: the term of UNMIN is expiring on September 15, 2010; the UN needs certain formalities to complete before extending the term of UNMIN after the receipt of the request of the Government of Nepal for extending the term of UNMIN. So, the Government of Nepal needs to decide now whether to extend the term of UNMIN or not.
Anybody sincere to the peace process will certainly say that the presence of the UNMIN is necessary to complete the peace process and then the writing of a new constitution.
Previously, the international community needed to put pressure on the Government headed by CPN-UML senior leader Madhav Nepal to extend the term of UNMIN until September 15, 2010 but during this time Madhav Nepal not only has done nothing his Defense Minister has gone saying that she is not for integrating the PLA with the Nepal Army. Now the same Prime Minister officiating today has been saying that the Maoists have not cooperated with the government on integrating the two armies.
Currently, the NC and CPN-UML leaders have been conspiring against extending the term of the UNMIN to Nepal so that they can go back to fighting against the Maoists using the Nepal Army not to mention the integration of the two armies. They believe that they can finish off the Maoist as the Sri Lanka Government has done to the LTTE. Madhav Nepal has said it in the public.
The Maoists have been talking to the envoys of the European, American, Russian and Chinese envoys for putting pressure on the current officiating government to extend the term of the UNMIN.
However, the NC and CPN-UML leaders have been not favorable to extending the term of UNMIN; they could not deploy the Nepal Army for bullying the rule of law, as the UNMIN has been for following the rule of law and for which they have charged the UNMIN with aligning with the Maoists.
