Found this interesting News,

Carter to meet Nepal king with mediation message

By Sudeshna Sarkar, Indo-Asian News Service

Kathmandu, March 30 (IANS) The decade-old Maoist insurgency in Nepal will capture world attention when former US president and Nobel laureate Jimmy Carter visits here in May to mediate between King Gyanendra's government and the communist guerrillas.

Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Carter would have another go at trying to restore peace when he arrives here May 4 to hold talks with Gyanendra, leaders of major political parties and representatives of the banned Communist party of Nepal (Maoist).


The visit will be a shot in the arm for the Maoists, who remain branded as terrorists by the US and Nepal governments with Washington urging the Nepali opposition parties to break off their alliance with the guerrillas.


The Carter Center in Atlanta has been showing a keen interest to mediate between the palace, parties and the outlaws.


Last year it invited opposition leaders and a former minister, regarded as being close to the Maoists, to the US for dialogue.


It is reported to have had plans to invite a team of government officials as well as Maoists to further the discussions but the plan fell through.


Though Nepal's government has been consistently ruling out external mediation, having earlier rejected similar gestures by the UN and the European Union, Gyanendra will meet the former US president as a last-ditch attempt to come out of his increasing isolation, both at home and abroad.


Carter's visit would come after a series of protests by the opposition parties that start from April 6 to oppose Gyanendra's power grab last year.


The government has warned that it will treat the disruptions as terrorist activities and stop them, hinting at a further clampdown.


A senior opposition leader has already been transferred to a detention camp from house arrest and the parties anticipate a fresh round of arrests.


Against this backdrop, it remains to be seen how successful Carter's mediation mission would be.

Never believe an American. They are warmongers. They love dictators. They are enemies of peace and democracy.

Just my thought. Jimmy Carter is a personality with a lot of weight. What I believe is if he offers to mediate between the King and the Maoists means that there is a lot of focus on the issue world wide. US will not try to overact in any ways if Carter is involved. They will not attempt to play around with their policy since Carter is involved because they have a lot of Respect for Pres. Carter. I mean looking at Carter and US, US will never say or do anything that will not concur with Carter.

Pres. Carter is a very respectful man. He was awarded Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution towards peace which was not in the best benefits of the US. So I would assume that US Policy will sideline if Carter comes into Picture. Till now US has favored for the monarchy, but once carter mediates, US policy will be soften towards the Maoist. Maoist will also not want to screw this opportunity, they have a good chance of comming out of 'Terrorist' Label of the US. I just hope that the king and the royalist understand the weight of this event and act towards the benefit of Overall Nepalese.

Hope for the Best, and its in May, a month from now.
