Editorial: Back to Terrror Again?

Dear Readers:

I hope you  have had a very happy Dashain. On behalf of TND, I would also like to extend our best wishes on the occasion of auspicious Dipawalil.

During these festive days, Maoists declared unilateral ceasefire for nine days. The Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M), in a statement signed by its 'Chairman', Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda, had stated that CPN-M would suspend all of its armed operations for a period of nine days, from October 20 to October 28, 2004 on the occasion of Nepali festival period, Dashain. So reciprocated the government. The period ended yesterday and the fear that had evaporated temporialy is slowly emerging back to Nepalese people's mind.

Hope this truce continues and may Lord Dugra protect all of us!

Indeed. This is from today's Kantipur Online. Here we go again - killings and more killings.
