The king is trying to fool the international community through meaningless elections. This will not solve any national problem. It will only deepen them.

It is a political defeat for the king. The forthcoming election may be legal but it will have no political legitimacy.

They probably wanted to free some of their hardcore Maoists who were jailed there.

All institutions and systems have been destroyed and he has failed to create anything new. He has isolated himself and the monarchy internally and externally.

Last year there were many who welcomed the king's move. But now the same people are opposing the king's government. It's a complete turnaround.

This is only a half-hearted appeal.
