Nepal king to seek Indian help to crush Maoists
2004-12-22
Maybe he should ask Bhutan...
Nepal's King Gyanendra will press for more support to quell an escalating eight-year-old Maoist insurgency during a visit to giant neighbour India this week. The poorly equipped Royal Nepal Army needs helicopters and mine-proof vehicles to fight the guerrillas who have stepped up attacks on army patrols in the rugged countryside and bombings in the nation's capital. Gyanendra's 10-day tour beginning on Thursday will be the first since a new Congress-led government took office in New Delhi in May. "Naturally, he is expected to seek more Indian cooperation in fighting the rebels," a Nepali foreign ministry official said. Gyanendra will hold talks with Indian President Abdul Kalam and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. India, concerned about instability in the impoverished Himalayan kingdom, has been training and arming the Nepali army to help it deal with the Maoists, who want to establish a communist republic in the country.

#9  The Commies want neutral India 'cause they need manpower, a.k.a. "numbers" and "quantities", [sub?] a.k.a. cannon fodder, against the modern, Western, and democratic worlds.

Strange, I thought the Maoists were gaining power in India.

#3  Let me give it a shot at the translation:

How all mighty fascist, again, of these Communists! The Commies want neutral India 'cause they need manpower, a.k.a. "numbers" and "quantities", [sub?] a.k.a. cannon fodder, against the modern, Western, and democratic worlds. Communism = unjustly enriched [governmentist?] warlord-like profiteering elites, ordering and sacrificing the permanently poor and always expendable masses to [PC?] suffer and die in the name of their masters, the slave state, and the permanent, perennial status quo.

Am I even close, Joe?

#2  I do not get it, Joe. Slow down. Type clearly. Cut the friggin' CAPS and say what you want to say conversationally - without abbreviations or any of your private notations, please.

Otherwise, you may as well not post because nobody's following all of your comments. Bits here and there are intelligible, but not enough to get the whole of your message.

Relax and talk - I'm curious to hear what you're saying - I just don't speak your lingo, I'm afraid.
