Papers and articles on the current crisis in Nepal as published in the internet press

This is a selection of Nepal related articles that have been published after February 1, 2005. Nepal Research stands for peace, freedom, democracy and inclusion in Nepal. All this is provided neither by royal nor by Maoist politics. We predominantly include articles that are critical in the ongoing state destruction. Articles and papers in favour of the royal regime may be looked up through the links to government owned media on our news subsite.
See also our special list of statements and papers submitted to Nepal Research.
Nepal Research is not responsible for the contents of these articles.

With the end of royal dictatorial rule on April 24, 2006, Nepal has begun to deal with a solution of her constitutional crisis and the Maoist insurgency. This means that this section from now on only contains links that directy have to do with this process. Other links will again be included in the political subsites as it was praticed before February 1, 2005.
