It’s been quite a while since I first wrote about the appalling state of affairs in Nepal. The situation remains grim. The King continues his brutal crackdown on dissent, opposition parties have gone so far as to meet with the Maoist guerillas to plan joint protests against the king, relations with the US and India remain sour (leading to closer ties with China and North Korea), and there appears to be no easy end to the current mess.
How do I keep track of all this? Beside Google News, there’s a great source of information for those of you opposed to a bloody Maoist takeover of the Himalayan kingdom: Keep Nepal Free. Author Linda is based in Nebraska but nonetheless keeps close tabs on Nepal-related news with regular updates. Next week is the site’s one-year anniversary—congrats on a unique blog Linda, and keep up the great work.

Pradeep Chand added these pithy words on 14 Sep 05 at 4:45 pmHi Curzon
You are absolutely correct about the coming anarchy in Nepal. These days we have a routined protest rallys, two to three hours a day.
Keep Nepal Free is a good blog and there are few others like blog.com.np; nepalnow.blogspot.com and freenepal.blogspot.com.
I have also maintained a blog about Nepal but its bit generalised. You can visit it at Nepal Blog .
I appreciate your concern for Nepal.
