anonymous  - UNMIN cann't leave Nepal in Anarchy   |124.124.84.xxx |2009-11-20 12:04:13
UN body must not leave Nepalese peoples in lurch as the vested interest in the
country and outside wants to derail the peace process and rule the country with
iron fist. The task entrusted to UNMIN should accomplished in any means and the
traitors should not be given any opportunity to exploit the poor and innocent
peoples of this tiny country. Our soldiers have been serving in the conflict
zones world over with great pion and responsibility hence UN body has the
obligation to fulfill the aspirations and expectation of the people. Nepalese
peoples can not bear another bloody ego war in this tiny country. People are
already suffering from rising prices, unemployment, insensitivity of our
political leaders. The main task is lingering and leaders are fighting a battle
of ego forgetting their duty and responsbility of writing new peoples'
consution. Shame to our leaders who pose themselves as a saviour of the peoples
and pr...
Sher Sing  - UNMIN must stay till mission accomplished   |202.52.237.xxx |2009-11-20 06:41:09
The exit of UNMIN at this stage will be viewed as the failure of UN peace
mission. UNMIN has a specified job. That is to bring the conflict in Nepal to
logical end. So if UNMIN leave without accomplishing this mission, Nepal once
more will be dragged to conflict again. So UNMIN should not & must not abandon
their mission at half way just because of some vested interest wanted it go out
from Nepal. Specially the southern neighbor & their stooge has always opposed
the presence of UNMIN in Nepal. They, in fact, were cooking up problems in order
to drive the UNMIN from Nepal. So that they can openly interfere in Nepal
internal affair & Sikkimise it. Further, their local stooges wanted to bring out
Nepal Army for military coup & their dictatorship. So UNMIN should stay till its
mission is accomplished.

Exit of UNMIN will be a disaster to the sovereignty of Nepal. However as no one
cares for the nation or the people, then why not become another Sikkim if
progress can be achieved. After all what has this so called sovereignty given
to the Nepalese - it has only given bloodshed, violence and a state of impunity
and lawlessness. So better to live a happy life than a miserable life of
violence.
Shakti Gauchan  - Why UNMIN is hurry to run out of its aim from now   |81.27.249.xxx |2009-11-20 03:55:27
UNMIN , what is real mission still not clear to all. But for ordinary people of
nepal seems not effective and honest .Even Maoist openly deceived them while
counting and controlling weapons.I hope UNMIN has not finished ,if it goes
earlier than it must be considered as failure INGO project and UN's money was
wasted with only paper works and formalities.

Landgren and his Scandinavian buddies on one hand show off like a fair party to
the discussion. But on other hand they are funding and supporting the
dictatorial maoists. It's better just leave.
Kiran  - UNMIN exit, line of SIKKIMIZATION   |219.8.135.xxx |2009-11-20 03:33:18
The exit of UNMIN before concluding the pending PEACE PROCESS is in line with
SIKKIMIZING Nepal. The GRAND DESIGN orchestred in DELHI was not for uplifting
Nepalese people form misery but it was to SIKKIMIZING Nepal. The mission for
concluding peace process was for 6 months but is has already taken 3 years and
seems it would take decades. Suggestion of a respected world body meant
"interference" But the encroachment and SIKKIMIZATION process is being
heartly welcomed and compeion to be a Lendup is in high.
What a shame!
