Conflict management & peace process challenges in Nepal.

 

The 10-year armed people's war has an important place in the political history of Nepal.  There is still debate in Nepali society about the positive and negative effects of armed people's war.

 In an interview some time ago, the supremo had expressed his intention to bear the entire burden of the dispersal of his comrades during the People's War.  No, now the word supremo is not appropriate. The executive chairman or chairman number 2 seems to be more relevant for a while.  In any case, as the then supremo, he has the main responsibility to bring the peace process to an end.  Truth and reconciliation play an important role in conflict management.  But in the case of Nepal, there has not been much effective work in the field of truth-telling and reconciliation.  The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has not been able to work as per the expectations of the people.  In the context of Nepal, when it comes to conflict management, the families of martyrs and missing persons, the injured and the disabled also come together.

 Today is the 5th of Kartik, a black day for our family.

 Dharmendra Shah (Shishir), Mina VK (Susmita), Revati Budha (Lalita) along with my family member (my uncle) Janardan Khatri and 3 others were brutally beaten and tortured by the then Royal Nepalese Army.  Was massacred.  After being taken under control, he was taken to the nearby Shree Shishukalyan Primary School and tortured to death.  There have been many serious human rights violations during the conflict. Whether it is a serious human rights violation committed by the rebels or the government, there must be an impartial investigation and the perpetrators must be brought to justice.

 In an interview and a speech, the supremo reiterated that he has a responsibility to bring the peace process to an end.  But the state of implementation and initiative is not satisfactory.  So today I am going to ask some citizen questions.  These questions are equally targeted at the top leaders of the ruling and opposition parties, including the supremo:

 1- Where is the peace process?

 2- When will the rest of the peace process be completed?

 3- Where did the Truth and Reconciliation Commission take its work?

 4- Is the peace process only a ladder of power?

 5. Does the state have any responsibility for the injured, disabled and missing persons during the conflict?

 6- What is the condition of the martyr's family?

 7. What programs and plans have been formulated by the government and other organs of the state regarding the martyr's family and their descendants?

 8. How much conflict victims really have access to conflict-targeted programs?  Or flatterers and flatterers?

 9- Do you want to keep the peace process like this?

 10. Is the issue of truth and reconciliation to be made only by those in power who are in power and only those who are in power are making a ladder to reach power?  What about collective initiative?

 11- From the point of view of conflict management, if the work of truth and reconciliation is not completed, what will be its effect in the future?

 Supremo comrade questions remain from revolutionary land reform to democratic education(JANVADI SHIKSHA).  We will discuss the rest of the questions some other day.  Citizens have to face extreme commercialization of health and education in the socialist-oriented behavior in the constitution.  Even in so-called capitalist countries, it is rarely seen.

 I am leaving the above mentioned questions for today.  Hopefully we will get the answer to the mentioned citizen question soon.  This requires the strong will of all political parties for conflict management, truth-telling and reconciliation.
