Negotiations failed to produce a Nepalese interim government! The military is questioned for supporting the restoration of the monarchy!
Discussions between the military and Karki on building a Nepalese interim government did not yield results, and different organizations of the 21st Century Youth Movement had fierce infighting over Karki's representativeness. From 7 p.m. yesterday, the Nepalese army strengthened its control over the capital Kathmandu.
Army Chief Ashok Sigdel held long conversations with Prashant, a controversial activist in Nepal, who was once a member of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), but has always claimed to be the representative of former King Gyanendra. Now, Prashant has become a key interlocutor in the ongoing negotiations.
Sigdel also encouraged leaders of various factions of the 21st Century Youth Movement to contact Prashant as part of the dialogue efforts, which has raised questions about his attempt to restore the monarchy.
