With
less than two weeks to go before their ceasefire extension expires on 3
January, the Maoists say they are now training their sights on the capital.
In
briefings to select journalists taken to their heartland in Rukum earlier
this month, senior rebel commanders hinted they were following a two-track
policy of using the political process and, if that path is blocked, step
up guerrilla attacks in and around the capital to pressure the regime.
The
Maoists have been holding large meetings this month throughout the midwest
from where they launched the war 10 years ago. The aim is to explain the
decisions taken at their central committee meeting and also the deal struck
with the seven-party alliance. Their battle cry is: "To Kathmandu."
