Nepal ukida monarhiju?
Katmandu -- U Nepalu je konstituisana ustavotvorna skupština koja bi trebalo da ukine jedinu hinduističku monarhiju na svetu, nakon gotovo 240 godina postojanja.
Maoisti, koji su nakon 10-godišnje pobune potpisali mirovni sporazum 2006. godine, ubedljivo su pobedili na parlamentarnim izborima, održanim 10. aprila, osvojivši više od trećine od ukupno 601 mesta u parlamentu.
...
Zamenik lidera maoista, Baburam Batarai, rekao je za AP da će "republika biti proglašena sutra".
Time će se završiti vladavina dinastije Ssah, koja je na vlasti od 1769. godine, kada je lokalni vođa osvojio Katmandu i ujedinio Nepal.
...
Pristalice monarhije su upozorile da bi njeno ukidanje moglo da izazove nove sukobe. Oni smatraju da je monarhija ključna za očuvanje neutralnog statusa zemlje, čiji su susedi Indija i Kina.

Gjanendra je stupio na tron 2001. godine, pošto je princ prestolonaslednik, verovatno u drogiranom i pijanom stanju, ubio devet članova kraljevske porodice, a zatim izvršio samoubistvo.

Minutes after the swearing-in ceremony, the king was seen leaving the palace in a small convoy of three vehicles. The king was driving himself and Queen Komal in a black Mercedes sedan, an AFP reporter at the palace gates said.
The palace press secretariat said it did not know where the king was going, or if he was leaving for good -- in line with Maoist demands he vacate the palace and bow out gracefully.

*****************
Authorities in the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu, have banned rallies and mass meetings in strategic areas.
The prohibition comes into force two days before Nepal's newly-elected assembly is expected to meet to declare the country a republic.
...
Despite all this there is a general belief that a republic will be declared on Wednesday when the assembly first sits.

Nepalski parlament ukinuo monarhiju; proglašena republika
The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) won the largest number of seats in the Constituent Assembly election held on 10 April 2008, and formed a coalition government with some smaller parties. The Maoists had insisted on the abolition of the monarchy and the removal of Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev as King with Nepal becoming a federal democratic state with an elected head of state. The newly-elected Assembly met in Kathmandu on May 28, 2008 and abolished the monarchy that had reigned for 240 years. There was a polling of constituent Assembly members and out of a total of 564 Assembly members, 560 voted to end Nepal's monarchical rule. The proposal declared that Nepal had become an independent, indivisible, sovereign, secular and an inclusive democratic republic.

Nepal's government has announced a public holiday for three days, from May 28 to May 30, to celebrate the country becoming a republic.
Nepalese lawmakers voted to abolish the nation's 240-year-old monarchy, concluding a more than decade-long struggle by communist former rebels to install a republic in the Himalayan country.
Members of the Constituent Assembly cheered and applauded as the motion to proclaim a republic was backed by 560 votes to 4 late yesterday, the United Nations Mission in Nepal said.
The royal flag was lowered at the Narayanhiti palace in the capital, Kathmandu, today and replaced by the national flag.

The dawn of a new republic in Nepal, ending its 239-year-old royal dynasty that had become a symbol of oppression, has been hailed by the UN, which called the event historic and urged for the speedy formation of a new government.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's office in New York issued a statement early Thursday congratulating the people of the new republic of Nepal for successfully holding the first meeting of its constituent assembly Wednesday and voting overwhelmingly to turn King Gyanendra into a commoner and ask him to vacate the royal palace in 15 days.
"The people of Nepal have clearly spoken for peace and change through the April 10 assembly election," the statement said. "The secretary-general encourages all parties to continue working in a cooperative manner and to form a new government as soon as possible."

Just over two years after the 2006 People’s Movement and the ceasefire in the decade-long conflict which followed, over 500 elected members of Nepal’s Constituent Assembly tonight took their seats for the first meeting of an assembly tasked with creating a new democratic framework for the nation. And they made the decision promised by most parties during the election: by a vote of 560 in favour, to four against, members overwhelmingly supported the motion to amend the Interim Constitution, proclaiming Nepal a republic and formally bringing to an end the 240-year monarchy which has ruled the State.

NEPAL'S army, long seen as a bastion of support for the royal family, says it will respect a historic vote by a constitutional assembly abolishing the Himalayan nation's monarchy.
"How we feel does not matter, how the country feels is what matters,'' said Brigadier General Ramindra Chhetri, army director of public relations.
"The decision has been taken by the constituent assembly and it must be abided by by all stakeholders,'' he told AFP.
