Ceasefire declared by Maoists
An email message sent by Maoist leader Prachanda Thursday proposed a unilateral one-month ceasefire effective Wednesday, 15 May. Although the message does not bear a signature, human rights groups say it is authentic.
The statement speaks against the United States, say that the US wants to encircle China and weaken India and that it is trying to turn Nepal into another Vietnam.*
Prachanda says his group is willing to join other parliamentary parties in the future. He strongly states that if the government continues its suppression during the ceasefire, there will be a costly, terrible war.
The unilateral ceasefire offer comes 17 days before the present state of emergency is due to expire. There has been no immediate reaction from the government.*
The email has been sent through the same channels as previous messages. nepalnews.com kd May 9
