Saddam is dead... Will it improve Iraq then???

Saddam Hussein (69) has been hanged. A full stop that ends the sentence but begins the questions….. I, personally, don’t believe that we have right to take somebody’s life regardless what he/she has done in past.

Well, I just thought to post some random comments that I read in BBC website. Really heart touching and explanatory to see Iraq is deteriorating. Forthcoming series of worse situation will show that the decision of US was not right and in fact its bringing more terrorism in the world.
Here are some of the comments from BBC Website.

No one has the right to take the life of another, regardless of what they have done. Saddam was an evil man but he should have been given a trial at the Hague and should have been imprisoned for what he did rather than executed. The execution looked like it was carried out by some form of militia rather than the legitimate government of Iraq. It looked like one of the videos we have seen of the execution of western hostages.
Nicky Whiting, Cambridge

As a Middle East specialist I view this action as a judgement by the people and government of Iraq. It's their business, the rest of us have no grounds for comment one way or the other. On the other hand, I believe it's incumbent on the media to respect the justice meted out this morning by the Iraqis, and be culturally sensitive enough to support the action by simply no longer showing Saddam's picture in any form, or for that matter even mentioning his name. Oblivion - true justice for him.
Dick Barratt, Carmel Valley CA USA

Why was Saddam not tried at the Hague for Genocide like other leaders. In this case he could not have received a death sentence.

His hanging was pre planned by the Americans and carried out by the puppet Iraqi government.
ajmal nasir, manchester

Saddam's execution is simply the unjust end to an unjust trial at the end of an unjustwar. The principle of 'killing for killing' is both hypocritical and barbaric.

It is particularly sad that nearly every European country made a statement voicing their opposition to capital punishment, and yet not one did a jot to intervene. It is as pathetic as a grown adult whistling with their hands in their pockets while a school bully beats up other children in the playground.

Edward Anderson, Near Peterborough

It seems hard that we in the civilised world would wake-up to the news that the ruler of IRAQ has been put to death when the two leaders that put him their are either asleep or on holiday!

The only person that the British government can put up for comment is our new foreign secretary who because of the time of year and our seasonal climate, was not away on a caravan holiday.

How can anyone think that we are not under the spell of the USA when our leader is holed-up in the USA and when this
peter payne, burnham on crouch

I think that it is unacceptable that in the 21st Century we still have such inhuman acts. I don't believe that Saddam was a saint and neither do I believe that he did not deserve punishment but not in this way.
His executers just proved that they are as good as him: remorseless killers. And is Saddam's death going to solve Iraq's problems? Hardly. It will only worsen them.
Anastasia, Berlin

Not to forget that Saddam had a very cruel upbringing during his early years of childhood. Being brutally beaten and only God knows what other painful experiences Saddam had been put through by his stepfather.
Saddam should have received professional help.
Capital Punishment/ Public Execution is a cheap and quick way to get rid of sick people in society, but in the long run it does not help or prevent the loss of further lives, instead it makes us just as bad and heartless as the perpetrator
shazna begum, north london

Only if humans could answer hate with forgiveness (love), we would have a better world. I am strongly against killing in any shape and form. Only god has the right to take life.
Sina Rabbani, Laguna Beach, CA

I don't understand the gloating.

Saddam was just hanged for an incident that occurred in 1982, while he was our ally. Why didn't we cut off relations with the "monster" then?...Because he was too helpful against Iran, and served our purposes.

He is accused of using the poision gas the CIA gave him in 1983 against the Kurds in '89. Now, gassing civilians is a horrific crime against humanity, but who is more guilty, the dictator who used it or the country that gave it to him?
Brian Kasbar, Spokane, WA

Irrespective of what Saddam's past actions he did not receive a fair trial in Iraq. I think he had a better chance of a proper trial in US courts if that was ever jurisdictionally possible. Plus seeing people celebrating a death, again no matter what he was found guilty of doing in the past is deeply disturbing. justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.
Peter, NYC, USA

The death of one does not create a balance with the deaths of hundreds of thousands caused by an illegal invasion
Richard Donaldson-Alves, kanthararom

Does anyone deserve to die?
Sophie

No doubt he was very bad and got just what he deserved. In a way I'm surprised that the US & UK allowed this to go ahead because it is a great gamble. Nobody should forget that this is just the current episode in the game for control of the last big oil reserves on the planet. Iran will be next unless Iraq stabilizes. From my research there will only be losers here, all of us, and them more so.
Jim, Stoke-on-Trent

Over three quarters of a million Iraqi children dead because of the sanctions - now an estimated over six hundred thousand Iraqis dead in the violence following the invasion of Iraq.

The message to the world ? This is what happens to those who are foolish enough to be the friends of America, as Saddam was.
Richard Haut, Nice, France

What a twisted world we live in. We cure evil with evil. He was cruel and evil but by killing him, we've agreed with him that killing another human being is OK. How can anyone sit down and eat while watching the images of a man about to be hung. I didn’t like him but i feel sick that many people can sit down and seriously feel happy. We watch people getting blown up or murdered in Iraq and not even cringe, what kind of world do we live in? We no longer fear images of violence and that scares me.

Nepali students in Belgium

NESAB (Nepalese Students' Association in Belgium) was supposed to keep the data of Nepali student in Belgium and it was quite active few years ago. I had published a name-list of students here but its now about two years without any modification. So, I decided to take the list offline so that it wont bring any misunderstanding. You can always contact me if you end up at this page and I will try to help you in any way I can.

Your Regret

Too stupid to know.
Too dumb and let me go.
One day you’ll know;
That you shouldn’t have let me go.

Too immature to understand.
Too small to hold my hand.
One day you’ll understand;
That you should’ve been a woman.

Too much of a coward and a liar.
Too unwise so you let it go sour.
One day you’ll see you’re a coward;
That day will be too late, it started this past hour.

Too much of a girl.
Too cruel, you treated me like a doll.
One day you’ll see you were arch;
You’ll wish you hadn’t been such a girl .

Too selfish to see what goes around.
Too immature to see beyond your bound.
One day you’ll hear crying in your sound;
That what goes around, comes around.

Together Forever




If there's anything you need
All you have to do is say
You knew you satisfy everything in me
We shouldn't waste a single day

So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

If they ever get you down
There's always something I can do
Because I wouldn't ever wanna see you frown
I'll always do what's best for you

There ain't no mistaking
It's true love we're making
Something to last for all time
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

For the lady I Love!

Appreciating every single moments of happiness I’ve with you,

Thanking you for bringing back Spring in my lifeless Winter,

Longing to find you all the time in my sight,

Loving you as you are………


This is what I’ve come up with for you!

Beauty in your eyes between your pupils
You’re the angel of every catching vision that I’ve ever seen
Having seen all the nature of this horizon
Having seen all the dust of love long away from home,
You’re the sole flower of my garden that always shines in vision
You’re the divine companion of my trusty journey that shows the right path
You’re that piece of my destiny that reminds me watching the raining rainbow
Truly you’re fleeting me the light of your immense love that reflects in my solitude
Every drop of your words nurtures me in your absence
Not having you near me in these disturbing roads that causes me lot’s of whisper apart
But
Your beautiful smiling face enters into my own picture and
Reminds me the feelings of your soul that always cherishes me in my deepest core
Imagining you in all the way and wishing to reach into your arms
Rhythm of your voice replicates in my every breath
This shows the splendour of your heart
Heart of your deepest stunning heart
Pure than season of blooming
Higher than spirit of love itself
Innocent than innocence itself
And beautiful than beautiful itself…

what have I been doing?

Hello,
I’ve been trying to work to put some cool widgets in the site but it hasn’t been working so far as I have thought. OK, here what I need.
• Media player plug in for cool FM, Top Radio and few Nepali fm stations
• A play list of my favourite songs where songs could be selected and played
• A place where readers can subscribe for the blog
• A Google search for the site

Well, considering zero knowledge about java script and html text, I am here to set up an advance site. It took hours to figure out the templates for finding link widgets and correcting it. The problem was, when you click the link within the site, the new site doesn’t open in new tab or in new window. All I had to do was add target’_blank’. How would I know that it could only be found in expanded tab of widgets and I had to change it for every link page I’ve.
I have a different blog via Wordpress, I stopped using it as I found it too complicated and the server was too slow to load. As unsuccessful try of loading php and mysql at my computer, I preferred editing the site directly via web, which is obviously the simple way.
Here you see the contrast, without even knowing the basic ABCD, I’m dreaming to write a poem!
Well, after hours of work, I managed my radio links to open in a different tab where you can still enjoy. I hope to figure out the play list thingy too. I hope it’s not so hard as I have already been able to put a single song,
Dj Felix- on the floor, if you listen this song, pls don’t hear the words, just follow the melody!
I know wanna know………
Well, I will stop trying to go to page templates for few days as I have to prepare few reports for school.

Quick note:
The newly opened Mo Mo business from a friend is growing rapidlyin Gent!
Here is pic of a plate of Mo Mo I ordered this weekend!
hmmm, lekker!!!
Till next week then,
Enjoy!

Im going crazy in my room

my arms keep missing my love!

New Nepali National Anthem!

We have finally been able to come out with a new national anthem! The old one anthem was nothing more than a prayer for "the king". So finally, the time has arrived to create something new to lead Nepal in a way of republics uniting all of us!
This is how new national anthem goes!
TO be honest, I’ve no idea how it should be sung though!

सयौं थूंगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भइ फैलिएका, मेची-महाकाली ।

प्रकृतिका कोटी-कोटी सम्पदाको आंचल
वीरहरुका रगतले, स्वतन्त्र र अटल।

ज्ञानभूमि, शान्तिभूमि तराई, पहाड, हिमाल
अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल।

बहुल जाति, भाषा, धर्म, संस्कृति छन् विशाल
अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो, जय जय नेपाल।

(From hundreds of flowers, we are one garland Nepali

Sovereign we are spread across Mechi Mahakali...........)

Video of the day!

Today, I've chosen a Nepali one as Video of the day! Deepak Bajracharya has always been my favorite nepali singer!In this song, I like the melody and the words!

Maoist,.....were they terroist?


Who are Maoist?

Formation

The Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M), currently a proscribed outfit, was formed in 1995 following a split in the Communist Party of Nepal-Unity Centre. A radical faction led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Comrade Prachanda and Baburam Bhattarai set up the CPN-Maoist and denounced the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninists) or the CPN (UML) and other mainstream communist factions as ‘renegades’ and ‘revisionists’ due to their participation in the parliamentary process. It resorted to an armed struggle on February 13, 1996, by attacking police stations in the Rukum and Rolpa districts in north-western Nepal and thereby declaring a ‘People’s War’ in Nepal.

Earlier, various communist groups had actively participated in the People’s Movement of 1989-90 operating under the umbrella organisation of United National People’s Movement (UNPM). However, after the conclusion of the People’s Movement, these groups were not satisfied with the multi-party democratic system under constitutional monarchy. In order to contest the May 1991 elections, they formed a two-tier organisation, revolutionary front and political front, known as the Communist Party of Nepal-Unity Centre and United People’s Front of Nepal (UPFN) respectively. The UPFN emerged as the third largest group in the Parliament and also performed well in the local bodies’ elections of 1992. Gradually, however, ideological and personality clashes led to the disintegration of Unity Centre and the UPFN split into two factions, led by Nirmal Lama and Niranjan Govind Vaidiya at one end and Comrade Prachanda and Bhattarai on the other end. Subsequently, the decision by Prachanda not to participate in the 1994 elections led to the creation of CPN-M in 1995 as an underground outfit.

Objectives

The Maoists announced a ‘People’s War’ on February 13, 1996, with the slogan “let us march ahead on the path of struggle towards establishing the people’s rule by wreaking the reactionary ruling system of state.” They strongly believe in the philosophy of Mao Tsetung that “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” They also draw inspiration from the ‘Revolutionary Internationalist Movement’ and Peru’s left wing extremist guerrilla movement, the Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path). The radical communist parties from different parts of the world have provided ideological sustenance for the Nepali Maoists.

The ‘People’s War’ aims to establish a ‘New Democracy’ in Nepal and constitutes an “historical revolt against feudalism, imperialism and so-called reformists.” The immediate reason given by the Maoists for declaring the ‘People’s War’ was the failure of the Nepalese Government to respond to a memorandum presented by its representatives to Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba on February 4, 1996. The memorandum listed 40 point demand related to “nationalism, democracy and livelihood”. These included among others the abolition of royal privileges and the promulgation of a new constitution, and the abrogation of the Mahakali treaty with India on the distribution of water and electricity and the delineation of the border between the two countries.

Leadership, Cadre and Command Structure

The chief of operations of the CPN-M is its Chairman, Pushpa Kamal Dahal (better known as Comrade Prachanda). He is also Chairman of the ‘Central Committee’, Member of ‘Standing Committee’ and ‘Supreme Commander’ of the People’s Liberation Army.

Another front ranking leader Baburam Bhattarai heads the political wing of the Maoists called the United People’s Front (UPF). Bhattarai alias Lal Singh @ Jitbir @ Mukti Manab, a ‘Politburo and Standing Committee’ member, is reportedly responsible for planning and foreign affairs, and was co-ordinator of the dialogue team in 2003. According to the Nepal Police Website, he is in-charge of mid central command (since 3rd cc meeting in September 2004).

The apex military institution of the Maoists is the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists), which was constituted in 1998.

Government estimates provided in early 2003 on the CPN-M strength indicated that there are approximately 5,500 combatants, 8,000 militia, 4,500 cadres, 33,000 hard core followers, and 200,000 sympathizers.

The main fighting and support forces consist of Magars, Tharus, Janjatis (Gurungs, Rais, Limbus, Tamangs, Dalits, Brahmins and Chhetris, the last two also providing the political and military leadership). Among the Maoist fighters – about 60 per cent – are deployed in the mid-west and west in their strongholds. Another 10 per cent are in the far west with around 10 percent in Gorkha, the rest is located in Kathmandu valley and east of it.

A considerable number of retired Gurkha soldiers of the British and the Indian Army inhabit many of the Maoist-affected areas and Nepalese security agencies have suspected that these former soldiers along with those retired and deserters from the Royal Nepalese Army (RNA) have/are involved in training the insurgents.

Women have been prominent in the recruiting profile. Available reports indicate that one-fifth to one-third of the cadre and combatants may be women. Reportedly, every village has a revolutionary women’s organisation. There are usually two women in each unit of 35-40 men, and they are used to gather intelligence and act as couriers. Baburam Bhattarai was quoted as saying in Spacetime on April 18, 2003, that fifty percent of cadres at the lower level, thirty percent of soldiers and ten percent of members of central committee of the outfit were women.

The All Nepal National Independent Students’ Union (Revolutionary), or ANNISU-R is the student wing of the Maoists. Its membership comprises students from school to the university level. The general success in all the strikes called by ANNISU-R, especially in the educational institutions, (at present it is also one of the key student organisation in the anti-King agitation) shows the strong hold of the organisation. According to a report of June 2003, the ANNISU-R comprises approximately 400,000 members.

Reportedly, weaponry in their possession include AK-47 rifles, self-loading rifles, .303 rifles, country guns, hand grenades, explosives, detonators, mortars, and light machine guns. Nearly 85 per cent of these weapons are reportedly looted from the police and RNA.

Structurally, the CPN-M consists of the standing committee at the top, followed by the politburo, central committee, regional bureaus, sub-regional bureaus, district committees, area committees, and cell committees. The Politburo issues directives with the assistance of an approximately 25-member central committee. The main armed component reportedly consists of six guerrilla battalions, which launches military action in response to instructions relayed through their individual chief commissars (one per battalion), who are central committee members. The politburo and standing committee reportedly formulate most of the political and strategic policies. The standing committee, with approximately ten members, is the most powerfully body in the CPN-M. There are five regional bureaus: eastern, central, Kathmandu valley, western and international department.

Areas of Operation

The guerrillas operate to varying degrees in 68 of the 75 districts that comprise Nepal. Their influence varies between moderate to extreme in these districts. In the districts of Rolpa, Rukum, Jajarkot, Salyan, Pyuthan and Kalikot in mid-western Nepal, Government presence is limited to the district headquarters with the rest of each district under Maoist control. The Nepalese Home Ministry has designated these districts as ’sensitive class A’. Nine districts, namely Dolakha, Ramechhap, Sindhuli, Kavrepalanchowk, Sindhupalchowk, Gorkha, Dang, Surkhet and Achham, are classified as ‘Sensitive Class B’, while 17 ‘Sensitive Class C’ districts are Khotang, Okhaldhunga, Udaypur, Makwanpur, Lalitpur, Nuwakot, Dhading, Tanahu, Lamjung, Parbat, Baglung, Gulmi, Arghakhachi, Bardiya, Dailekh, Jumla and Dolpa.

The Maoist insurgency initially commenced in the three districts of Rolpa, Rukum and Jajarkot and eventually spread throughout Nepal. Maoists have very strong bases in Western and mid-Western region and partially in Eastern region.

According to the Nepal Police, the following areas are affected by Maoist violence:


External Linkages

According to available information, the Maoists of Nepal have well-established linkages with Indian left-wing extremist organizations, primarily with the People’s War Group (PWG) and Maoist Communist Centre (MCC). The first signs of contacts were reportedly registered during 1989-1990, when the two groups started collaborating in order to expand their influence. Towards this end, they began the process of laying a corridor, which is now widely referred to as the Revolutionary Corridor (RC) extending from Nepal to across six Indian States, including Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh. This entire area has been identified in Maoist literature as the Compact Revolutionary Zone (CRZ). The CRZ was organized by the Nepal and Indian members of the Naxalite (the popular term for left-wing extremism in India- the movement originated in Naxalbari [hence the term Naxal] in the State of West Bengal in the late 1960s) Movement, in a meeting at Siliguri in the Indian State of West Bengal during August 2001.

Gradually, the interaction between Maoist insurgents and the PWG increased with the sharing of knowledge about guerilla warfare, bomb manufacturing techniques and arms training. Nepalese Maoists had sent their delegates to the March 2001 Congress of PWG held at Abuz Marh in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. The establishment of CRZ gave a wider space and platform for all the proscribed Nepal and Indian left-wing extremist organizations to strengthen their bases in both the countries.

The more radical forces in South Asia, including both the PWG and Nepalese Maoists, are members of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM). In July 2001, about 10 extreme Left Wing (Maoist) groups in South Asia formed the Coordination Committee of Maoist Parties and Organization of South Asia (CCOMPOSA), in which the Nepalese Maoists, PWG, MCC, Purbo Banglar Movement (Bangladesh), Communist Party of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and other Indian left-wing extremist parties became members. The appearance of graffiti in remote villages in Naxalite-strongholds, in Rayakal and Mallapur mandals (administrative unit) of Karimnagar district in Andhra Pradesh, hailing CCOMPOSA points the spread of the idea of a common front of left-wing extremist groups in South Asia. Moreover, the Central Committee of the Maoists, in late-January 2002, passed a resolution stating that it would work together with the PWG and the MCC in fighting the ban imposed on the latter two organisations in India, under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002. A year earlier, in 2001, the Maoists had sent a senior leader named Gaurav as a fraternal delegate to attend the 9th Congress of the PWG. Reports indicate that the Maoists and the PWG have also formed the Indo-Nepal Border Region Committee to coordinate their activities in North Bihar and along the India-Nepal border.

Starting a blog… Moving to a new horizon???

In this all years, I’ve been trying to understand myself. The constantly changing feelings, their impacts in my own reactions and my way to behold the life.

Touchy and hearty but an open heart for smiles and happiness

I hesitated most of the time to let my feelings be expressed. I kept it always within me to be thought and re-thought until I come out with a conclusive meaning of my decision.

Was I slow then? Why did I let myself fall in the thoughtfulness dilemma? Why has it been hard to me to conclude some matter at the certain time? Where is the idea of being crystal-clear about the plan?

In the context of all these unanswered questions, I decided to start blogging!

In the contrary, the latest changes that I was destined for has of course opened new doors to a new era. As I’ve learnt to appreciate the things, right from the beginning, every little contribution to achieve my goal has equally been appreciated well.

I’m Happy, Happy with what I have Happy with what I’ve been given to and Happy with what I have offered to the world so far. My confidence is my strength and I believe that you can achieve everything if you want it.

Anyway, I will post my daily news, things I envisions and the changes I would love to see in every aspects of the society.

Thank for visiting and happy blogging!
