Internal displacement is another important issue, where a large number of people are being displaced everyday. Some districts are dispatching people and some are receiving large numbers of displaced persons. The displaced people initially come to the district head quarters, city or capital (Kathmandu) and later move further on, seeking shelter and refuge. Currently, Kathmandu is crowded by them, who are in movement, demanding to receive internal refuge from the government and UN.
Rural youth have options either to involve themselves in the Maoist movement and raise weapons, or exit the country to protect their lives. By this way, the rural area is a youth free zone. They exit to India or the gulf countries to protect their lives. For students, their choices are European and American countries for further studies. These ways, the Nepalese are well-known as serious violators of the constitution, democracy and human rights, rather the country of Mt. Everest & Lord Gauttam Buddha.
The past educates us, it is a bitter fact that those who have military power will in no way give up their authority effortlessly to those who weep for power, particularly to those who have pushed a nation into confusion and a quantifiable state. At this time, present political leaders are bad, not political parties. Democratic governments were unsuccessful, not democracy. In this century, we know a single democracy is the hardware; democratic parties are the operating system; and the Nepalese are users of the Constitutional Monarchy System.
The Royal Palace is that which has not only the Army’s power, but the most effective power - the moral support of the Nepalese. They respect the king as a live god, because the King is the parent of the Nepalese, not a player of politics. They want warm love, not a Governor. But the King is in politics with the support of army power. On his road map, political parties and people's agendas are hidden and he doesn't want to give the power to the present political leader. According to the Maoist, "with out political parties' government peace talk is a pleasant drama."
Corruption, unsuccessful government, administrative carelessness, etc. were activities published because of democracy and open media. More than this, a huge sequence of corruptive practices is operating with the lack of democratic government. We must find out what types of corruption were committed when Nepal was under a non democratic government. In my opinion, corrupted persons must be punished according to the constitutional process, not as the king orders. It is a foolish idea to hijack democracy with the grounds of some corruption cases. It is confirmed that while democracy was re-established in Nepal in 1990, pervious political system stakeholders were in the process of trying to demonstrate democracy as an unsuccessful system, in order to show that the King must be in power of Nepal. In another words, Nepalese have not received actual democracy. To resolve the conflict, we must return to democracy. History observed, new creation is achievable only in peace and continuous peace, where we can address all section communities’ voices equally.
I would like to commit once more to some fundamental things. We can not compromise on democracy, human rights and open media. In the light of democracy, human rights will grow. For example, in the Nepalese media house, government has done one experiment after the 1st Feb. 2005, where army forces stay for censorship, public voices are hidden. That decision is not for the publics rights. In turn, we must develop all types of media as an authenticity source for the news and a platform for the people.
We have to develop a strong belief in respecting basic human rights, peace and democracy. Our idea revolved around strategic thinking, problem solving and panning agendas under the theme of peace, not putting too much emphasis on temporary conflict solutions. People have to understand that peace is a process in itself. We have to be educated about it. In the same way, conflict transformation is a procedure, rather than a single act, and can apply at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels – at the intra- and inter- personal, group, community, social, cultural, national and state levels, and involves a series of events and approaches. For conflict transformation to be sustainable and effective, it must address all the levels and manifestations of the conflict, including the actual causes which gave rise to the war.
If our leaders fail to guide the moral campaign for honesty and human dignity, if they are unsuccessful in voicing the fundamentally humane essence of politics, the oppressed, the deprived, the humiliated and the dispossessed will have chosen to forget the humaneness of politics, but will use the solidarity it entails for violence. If politics does not become a component of the solution, it will motivate a feeling of trust, and a sense of peaceful dialogue, which is essential at various levels. First, there must be dialogue among political leaders; equally important is a dialogue among people, among leaders, among scholars, and among lay people.
