But 11,000 Nepalis have died at each others' hands in a senseless war brought on by the cruelty, exploitation, corruption and neglect of the ruling elite.

And every day hundreds of Nepalis die of hunger and treatable disease, victims of the structural violence of a feudal Hindu society.

Enraged but irrational people vent their anger on Nepal's innocent Muslims, imagining that they are responsible, not realising that this just endangers other Nepalis in west Asia by provoking a cycle of retaliation.

As Gandhi taught us, 'An eye for an eye leaves the world blind.'

Let light banish the darkness and love banish hate; the future of our world hangs on it.

I hereby call on all youths around the world to stand up and help the younger population by providing the necessary technology skills. Look at my case; I am a Nepali, who has been operating in Global technology Concerned Center for the past few year after all this period of time I have realized that 60% of the Nepalese population do not have access to computer technology nor have any knowledge about it. About 75% do not know about the internet, and even when they do know it is usually difficult for them to approach cyber café’s. Some of us who have an idea about the technology tend to tell the other youths the advantages of the internet and having computer knowledge in a dramatic way so that they get discouraged.. So what I have been doing is taking a statistical approach which will help me develop a strategy to help the youths around here and ( all over the world get use to developing technology so that it should not look mystical to them.

So I hope this will inspire youths to do the same in different related fields, so that together we make a better world for our offspring’s and help the young population in the world not to see any thing as a mystery. We can do that if youths of the world come together towards an objective and I thank TIG for the job they have been doing for the past few years with the help of other youths.

Background

Five political parties - Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, Nepal Workers' and Peasants
Party (NWPP), Peoples' Front Nepal (PFN), and the Nepal Sadbhawana Party (NSP)
launched a campaign in May 2003 calling for the reinstatement of parliament and
the restoration of democracy. They have carried out several peaceful
demonstrations over the last few months in support of their campaign.

In October 2002 King Gyanendra sacked Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba after a
dispute over the timing of general elections, dismissed the government, and took
executive power. On 11 October the King appointed Lokendra Bahadur Chand, a
former Panchayat prime minister and a member of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party
(RPP) (National Democratic Party), as Prime Minister to head an interim
government. Prime Minister Chand resigned in May following protests by political
parties, and Surya Bahadur Thapa, also from the RPP, was appointed.

Since the end of the cease-fire at least 50 people, including some civilians,
are reported to have died during fighting between the government and the CPN
(Maoist). The CPN (Maoist) have allegedly killed four civilians in central and
eastern Nepal, over the past few days, in contravention of international
humanitarian law. Amnesty International condemns human rights abuses by both
sides to the conflict. It has called upon both sides to agree to setting up an
independent human rights monitoring mechanism.

Following the breakdown of the peace talks between the government and the
Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) (Maoist) on 27 August, the government imposed a
ban on public gatherings of over five people for three weeks in Kathmandu,
saying the move was aimed at maintaining law and order.]]> Sun, 07 Sep 2003 01:42:00 EDT http://shakti.tigblog.org/post/10837 51.5 -0.116666751.5-0.1166667 http://shakti.tigblog.org/post/10792
Technology is sweeping over the world. This is the age of information. Information plays an important role in the promotion development of any organization, as well as in efficiency of general people. Modern people are much busier and thus want to get the required information as soon as possible. Web technology is enormously powerful tools for development. One of the most pressing challenges is to harness this extraordinary force, spread it throughout the world, and make its benefits accessible and meaningful for all humanity basically the poor. Thus overall one can say that the web page allows or truly help to explore various factors and aspects of organizations through the simple click of button.

Role of Webmaster
Webmaster is becoming seen as a more senior-level position, with the person being responsible for managing the evolution and well-being of the web work, policies, as well as the more rationale HTML and other technical resources. It’s ok for statices webpage, but if we think about dynamic webpage it should be implementation programming languages like PHP, ASP, CGI, and JS for develops the webpage. Supervise the design of the organization's Web and editing as well as designing the E-Bulletin. In addition, there is likely to be an interrelated effort to create a Web design, organization, and content for the corporation's intranet. The most challenging responsibility is that develop the international relation using the website. Manages the computer server and technical programming aspects of a Web site as well as Idea generation to develop Information communication Technology (ICTs) Development project as per as organization’s needs

Not a single party is responsible to call for this day. Both the government and the Maoists were contributing equally to prove the prospect and significance of code of conduct irrelevant. The seven-month-old ceasefire and the subsequent peace process were not completely calm. During the period of arms-halt, 122 persons lost their lives in the collision of two arms, where the Maoists shared 44 lives. Abduction, arrest, disappearance and coercive collection of fund led the days to bake for truce recess, which the Maoists did first.

The recent development of the incidents overstepped the people’s expectation to retrieve the rights nullified in course of armed conflict. The break up of ceasefire still creates social and political unrest cultivating violence. Time undoubtedly steps against the will of the people giving birth of their new perpetrators. Now people have to go through the coercion, subversion, chaos and pain. But ultimately, people overcome the pain, suffering and cut apart the net of chaos. People need peace and want to be a party of the peace process. They are committed to solve the problems by peaceful means. Any Hercules, which comes to undermine the people’s wills, will be taken to pieces and the history never excuses them. People know only the peace has a breast to suck. People are determined to outlive the sound of war drums and the exploits of brave fingers. So, we appeal the parties to be sincere to the people’s will and resume peace talks.

After killing nearly 7,400 people in the seven years of deadly conflict in Nepal, the cease-fire announced and the third round table discussion (Dang,Hapure) was completed without meaningful outcome between the government and the Maoist for peace talks. After third round table discussion, Maoist breakdown the peace-talk and started the war by attracting the Former Prime Minister Deuba and army officer. Recently against of Maoist, Government Re-donate ‘terrorist’ tag so easily.

The government and the Maoists have declared that they are fighting for the nation and well being of the people. On one side the government is fighting to quell the Maoists for establishing peace develop and on the other side Maoists are proud of themselves fighting for freedom and radical change in the social, economic and political situation of the nation. I don’t know how they are achieving their goal. But the thing that is still questionable in my sole and mind is that why those people are fighting? What are the reasons behind it? What thing they achieved and what battle they are winning? Our concern should be towards it. What for the war? Why killings? Why abduction? Why incommunicado? Why illegal detention? Why contempt of court orders? Why an environment of self-terrorizing people? What for the internal displacement? So on and so forth. Fact is that, they are only fighting for their identity that they need for their existence and for argument among others. Both of the parties are loosing the battle, but they are acting of winning it.
