NEPAL, PERU AND NORWAY:
On Sunday, it was announced that the Maoists won the elections in Nepal on April 10. It ends the monarchy, Nepal becomes a secular republic, a struggle started by the Communist Maoists in 1996, which resulted in 13.000 deaths before a co-owner came in the spring of 2006 when they began to share power with King Gyanendra. The Nepalese Maoist sister party, Luminous Path, in turn, is increasing activity in Peru. In Norway, a main partner country, Minister of Development Erik Solheim has enjoyed the victory.
The consequence:
For the first time, Maoists have won a free and peaceful election, prompting King Gyanendra to step down. But the Nepalese Maoists, who have previously stood close to Peru's brutal Luminous Path guerrillas, have departed from the rhetoric of Marx and the sole ruler Mao. "We ask that no one question our commitment to the multi-party system," Maoist leader Prachanda said when he was declared electoral winner on Sunday.
The dilemma:
What should Peru's Luminous Path do now? Increase the guerrilla struggle or devote to democracy? For what is the message of the Maoist victory, is it democratic or physical struggle that pays off? And what will AKP (ml) become in Norway? Can Nepalese Maoists with state power be an example, or is Maoism best without power?
