Without peace, justice and love nations cannot develop, and man- kind can enjoy neither happiness nor tranquility. In order to achieve social stability and world peace, there must be impartiality and harmonious living among nations, among political factions, among ethnic groups, and among religions. It is clear that peace is a divine prize that may come by the way of justice not by the terrorism. If there is religious terrorism there isn’t peace.

    #217 8-14 October 2004 20 pages Rs 25 Weekly Internet Poll # 157 Q. Should the government announce a unilateral ceasefire before Dasain? Peace by peace Total votes:1,001 ANALYSIS by KUNDA DIXIT Hope is strongest Weekly Internet Poll # 158. To vote go to: www.nepalitimes.com Q. Do you think the human rights situation in s Dasain approaches there are indications that both sides will Nepal has improved or deteriorated in the when things seem most hopeless past one year? observe an unofficial festival truce, but prospects of peace A talks to resolve the conflict are more remote than ever. A purported statement from the Maoists declaring a Dasain-Tihar ceasefire on Tuesday turned out to be a hoax. Rebel spokesman Krishna Bahadur Mahara set the record straight by dashing off an e- statement, but that was followed on Wednesday by another release purportedly signed by Prachanda saying the original statement was correct and action would be taken against Mahara. Analysts do not rule out the possibility of army disinformation at work, and see signs of a rift in the Maoist hierarchy following the groups plenum in Dang last month which reportedly rejected peace talks for now. The meeting was followed by strident anti-Indian rhetoric and an intriguing silence on the part of Baburam Bhattarai, who is said to have favoured a softer line on India. The contradictions between central-level statements about links to fraternal parties and recent attacks on the leftist United Peoples Front in the mid-west hint at a breakdown in control. While the leadership calls on UN mediation, grassroots militia defy international condemnation of forced recruitment of school students, abduction of a Unicef staffer and looting of WFP aid.
