UN woes over Nepal

The United States has said on Tuesday that it remains troubled by developments in Nepal, one year after the King seized power on February 1, 2005.

In a statement issued in Washington DC today, a spokesman of the US States Department said twelve months of palace rule have only made the security situation more precarious, emboldened the Maoist insurgents, and widened the division between the country's political parties and the King.

“The United States remains particularly concerned by the Maoist insurgency, which presents the most immediate threat to a peaceful and prosperous Nepal,” the statement issued by Adam Ereli, deputy spokesman at the US state dept. said.
