With the festivities over, its good to see that Nepali politicians are back at work, with intensive talks towards a peace deal secured yesterday. Its been five years since the end of the Maoist civil war here, the subsequent 'peace process' and various prime ministers and president nominations and resignations.
With the political failings and squabblings over the last few years, creating even more ecomonic problems in Nepal, I really hope for Nepal that this may be a turning point in the country's development and progress. The current Maoist prime minister, Baburam Bhattarai (previously a successful finance minister) seems to be making positive changes to encourage peace, cooperation and reduce corrupt politics here.
Anyway I have probably said too much as a foreigner working in Nepal.....though it may not be my place to be opinionated or political, over the last few years, it has been prevalent how the corrupt politics here have stunted all development and legitimate business progress and export possibilities of Nepali goods. Hopefully positive changes will be made, I am crossing my fingers anyway!!
For more information on the current political situation, please see the BBC News link below - they can explain things much more adequately than I ever could!
