Reasons for cancellation of PM Prachanda’s Finland, Norway visits [Excerpts]

Kathmandu, 20 Jan: The cancellation of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s official visit to Norway and Finland at the last minute has triggered speculations that fear of political insecurity at home was the key reason for the last-minute decision, newsfront reports.
Growing confrontation between the Prime Minister and Army Chief Gen R Katawal, mounting criticism of the government by political parties at home, and strong statement by the European Union that implies condemnation of the government on journalist Uma Singh’s murder altogether contributed to the cancellation of the trip, a senior official in the Prime Minister’s Office said.
Ambassador Thor Gilsen had already lefr for Oslo to receive the “Guest” from Nepal.
The trip was called off soon after Prachanda visited his number two Bahuram Bhattarai’s official residence the same morning [15 Jan.]
Denmark, another Scandinavian country, refused to extend an official invitation to Dahal who was keen to go there as well.
Owing to the cancellation of the visit, the proposed signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on various issues involving Norwegian assistance to Nepal’s development and peace process have been shelved at the moment.
The Norwegian Embassy was also playing host to five journalists—some of them at the recommendation of the PMO—by bearing their entire expenses so that the visit could be well covered. In fact, the Norwegian Embassy had to face hostile queries from a couple of journalists from the team, such as “Why are Norway and Switzerland quiet when the Maoists commit human rights violations/”

“I stopped the visit to concentrate on resolving burning issues at home,” he said and added the visit wasn’t stopped to save the government.

One thing I would like to say is that before purchasing more laptop or
computer memory, take a look at the machine within which it could be installed.

When the machine is definitely running Windows XP, for
instance, the particular memory threshold is 3.25GB. The installation of in excess of this would purely
constitute any waste. Make sure one's mother board can handle this upgrade quantity, as well. Great blog post.

taking award-winning photographs and also hardships
in getting the best digital camera suited to your needs and most especially struggles in maintaining

and obvious for those photography lovers that are in capturing the nature's captivating scenes - the mountains, the actual forests, the particular wild or maybe the seas. Visiting these adventurous places definitely requires a camera that can surpass the wild's hard

Thanks for the strategies you reveal through this web site.

In addition, several young women who seem to become pregnant do not even aim to get medical insurance because they dread they probably would not qualify.
Although a few states at this moment require insurers supply coverage no matter the pre-existing
conditions. Prices on these guaranteed plans are usually higher, but when thinking about the high cost of medical treatment it may be your safer strategy to use to protect your financial potential.

One thing I have actually noticed is that often there are plenty of fallacies regarding the finance
institutions intentions any time talking about foreclosures.
One delusion in particular would be the fact the bank
wants your house. Your banker wants your hard earned cash,
not your own home. They want the bucks they gave you having interest.

Preventing the bank is only going to draw a foreclosed realization.
Thanks for your article.

Thanks for the interesting things you have revealed in your writing.
One thing I'd prefer to discuss is that FSBO connections are built after some time. By bringing out yourself to owners the first end of the week their FSBO is actually announced, prior to the masses begin calling on Thursday, you create a good interconnection. By giving them tools, educational products, free reviews, and forms, you become a great ally. By subtracting a personal affinity for them and also their circumstances, you create a solid relationship that, in many cases, pays off when the owners decide to go with a representative they know and also trust -- preferably you.
