Regrouping Maoist Combatants In Most Camps Near Completion
By KTM Metro Reporter
November 29, 2011: the Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) has almost completed the regrouping of the Maoist combatants in six cantonments. Out of the more than 19,000 combatants at seven cantonments, 15,000 combatants have been regrouped. Sixty percent of the 15,000 combatants opted for integration into the Nepal Army while 40% opted for retirement. Almost none of the combatants have been interested in rehabilitation, as they don’t believe in the training provided by the government will be useful in their future lives.
Integration of the Maoist combatants is one of the main preconditions put forward by the opposition such as NC and CPN-UML for completing the peace process and then certainly of completing the writing of a new constitution. Delay in integrating the combatants has delayed the completion of the peace process and the writing of a new constitution, as these two main national tasks go together.
