I've been posting news updates, pictures and video footage of the demonstrations in the thread that link goes to, I urge everyone to read it and appreciate the significance of what's happening.
The second day of protests has finished, the Maoists and their many supporters gheraoed local government offices across the country. All day, local govt administration work across the country was shut down. I've found video footage of the protests, so I urge you all to watch that. Plus a fair few new pictures. The protests look pretty chillax, lots of singing and dancing.
A very fucking significant event has taken place, which I'm sure more reports about are going to be written. In the Dhankuta Municipality, the Maoists have seized state power! MyRepublica reports that they "captured the keys of the office, evicted the government officials from the office and announced the formation of the [parallel govt] at municipal offices". The significance of this is just out of this world. Day two of the protests, and the Maoists have already mobilised tens of thousands of people and seized state power in at least one area! I'm posting the news reports I found about this, so read them carefully and appreciate how important this is.
Plus there's some new reports about how the govt's inability to pass the budget (due to Maoist CA members obstructing the parliament) is leading to a state financial crisis in Nepal. The govt is bankrupt. It will soon have no money for everything from prisons to hospitals, police to the upkeep of the PLA cantonments.
It's all very exciting and the brave people of Nepal need our solidarity and support. The reactionary army is still there and could still easily be called out. India will be keeping a close eye on the situation. The Nepali reactionaries could easily try and pull a Chile, or an Indonesia, on the Maoists and their supporters amongst the revolutionary workers and peasants of Nepal. It's up to us to do everything we can to oppose this, and keep informed about the situation (while also informing others!).
There are links to everything I mentioned plus more besides in the thread. I'd also urge people to visit www.mikeely.
Lal salaam!
