Cambodia's Sihanoukremains the Killing Fields King of terror which he personallyengineered since 1965? After 1993,this idiotic person was reinstated toextend his tyrannical reign over people on top of his own familyenemy, Yuon, subjugation. Recently he did indeed endorse Nam Tien'sexpansion illegal treaty from the 80's to allow Viet Minh/VietCong lackey to accept Yuon's newly drawn borderline. Enough for thetraitor's one lifetime, let's abolish Cambodia's last Siameseouthouse lackey monarchy, and embellish the real Khmer PluralistDemocracy. This is an example for real democracy in action in the name ofreal owners of Nepal. Cambodia shall watch and learn from this rarelyexample. December 24, 2007 . Nepal's major political partieshave agreed to abolish the world's last Hindu monarchy as part of adeal to bring former Communist rebels back into the government, theone-time insurgents said Monday.No timetable has been set for the Communists to rejointhe government.The deal, signed Sunday, sets the stage for Nepal'stransition to a full republic less than two years after the country'sking was forced to cede his near dictatorial powers after weeks ofunrest.The Communists, who are known as Maoists, ended theirdecade-long rebellion last year and later joined the country'sinterim government. But they withdrew in September, demandingthe monarchy be immediately abolished. The move plunged Nepal into apolitical crisis and threatened its transition to democracy.On Monday, the former rebels were buoyant over thedeal to bring them back into the fold.The deal stipulates the monarchy will be eliminatedonce a special assembly charged with rewriting the nation'sconstitution is elected. The vote had been delayed indefinitely by the Maoists'withdrawal from the government, and officials now say they wantto hold it in the first half of 2008. "Now nothing else there needs to be done," Prachanda,the Maoist leader, who uses only one name, told reporters. "Thereis no monarchy left in the country." The current monarch, King Gyanendra, heads a dynastythat dates to 1769, when a regional ruler led an army down from thehills and conquered the ancient city of Katmandu. He establisheda line of kings that have been traditionally consideredreincarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu. But Gyanendra, the 12th Shah Dynasty monarch, hasnever enjoyed the popularity of his predecessors and Sunday's deal toeliminate the throne was received largely with indifference inKatmandu. "Before, kings were part of people's heart," said MataPasad Risal, 60, a retired government official. "Now people haveturned against him. The king has lost his position and popularity; itwill be best for him to leave the palace."Gyanendra came to the throne in 2001 after a palacemassacre in which the crown prince reportedly gunned down Gyanendra'solder brother, the late King Birendra, and much of the royal familybefore killing himself. The murders helped pierce the mystiquesurrounding Nepal's royalty.Four years later, Gyanendra dismissed Nepal'sparliament and seized total power, saying he would bring order to a chaoticpolitical scene and quell the Maoist insurgency. But the insurgency worsened, the economy faltered andGyanendra used heavy-handed tactics to silence opposition, jailingand banning criticism of himself, his government and the army. The result was weeks of unrest in April 2006 thatended with Gyanendra restoring the parliament. He has since beenstripped of his powers, command over the army and his immunity fromprosecution.But that wasn't enough for the Maoists, who haveconsistently pushed for the elimination of the monarchy.From The Associated Press
