Nepal's Maoists extend poll lead

Nepal's Maoist party has increased its lead as results are declared
from landmark elections.
The former guerrillas have won 42 out of 76 seats declared, well ahead
of all other parties, and far more than many analysts had expected.
Partial results suggest a similar lead elsewhere, polling officials
said.
The polls, for an assembly tasked with writing a new constitution, are
the first to test the Maoists at the ballot box after a 10-year
guerrilla campaign.
The Maoists' leader, known by his nom-de-guerre, Prachandra, won a
seat on Saturday in the capital, Kathmandu.
He called the results a "victory" and said he saw them as the people's
mandate to consolidate peace.

Q&A: Nepal elections
"We are fully committed to the peace process and multiparty democracy
and to rebuild this country," he said.
"Maoists poised for landslide win", said a headline in the country's
Himalayan Times newspaper on Sunday.
The BBC's Charles Haviland, in Nepal, said Maoist supporters held
victory processions in the capital as their gains became evident on
Saturday, with red vermillion powder smeared on their faces and red
hammer-and-sickle flags in their hands.
Monarchy abolition
The election for the 601-seat assembly is a key element in the peace
deal that ended the Maoists' decade-long insurgency.
The new assembly is expected to confirm an agreement for the abolition
of the 240-year-old monarchy made in December between the ruling
government alliance and former rebels.

Results for the 240 constituencies chosen by the first-past-the-post
system are expected over the next 10 days, although another 335 seats
to be elected by proportional representation are not expected to be
decided for several weeks.
The interim government is to appoint the remaining 26 seats.
The traditionally powerful, centrist Nepali Congress has 11 seats so
far, while the Communist Party of Nepal has won only 13
constituencies.
Former US President Jimmy Carter, who is an election observer, has
called on Washington - which considers the Maoists a terrorist group -
to deal with the former insurgents.
Nepal held its first polls since 1999 following the Maoists' decision
to quit their armed struggle in 2006.
King Gyanendra seized absolute power in 2005 but was forced to give up
his authoritarian rule the following year after weeks of pro-democracy
protests.
He has since lost all his powers and his command of the army.

 
Cosa ne sarà del mustang (lo stato in assoluto più povero della terra 
dove vivono solo esuli tibetani in nepal è una sorta di regno o 
principato, dove non esistono strade o ospedali e dove tutto molto 
"spirituale") domani?
Forse miglioreranno la loro misera condizione di vita.
