FACTIONALAISM COMPLICATES TALKS WITH ARMED OUTFITS
Kathmandu, 10 July: The government has initiated talks with underground armed outfits with “political” demands, but dialogue appears complicated with different factions claiming to be the authentic group, The Himalayan Times reports.
The Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction (MoPR) had recently sent letters to at least eight outfits asking them to sit for talks. It has already held talks with some in a bid to disarm them.
Minister for Peace and Reconstruction Bishwonath Sah said talks are heading in a “positive,”direction, but made it clear the government would not talk to outfits involved in criminal activities. “We are in talks with armed groups with genuine political demands, but there is no chance of holding talks with groups involved in heinous crime,” Sah said.
The erstwhile Madhav Kumar Nepal led government had identified about 109 underground outfit across the country. Most of them
were involved in criminal activities, though the government had vowed to root out criminal outfits through strict policing.
“We will address the demands of such outfits, if they genuinely want to surrender arms,” Sah said. He, however, said efforts to disarm them through peaceful means had stymied due
to “factionalism” rife in these groups.
“As we sit for talks with a group, another faction of the same outfit demands talks, claiming it’s the genuine one,” he added. “This has hindered efforts to bring them into peaceful politics.” The MoPR recently experienced the same dilemma with separate factions approaching when it was in talks with Kirat Workers Group of eastern Hills.
He said the government is even ready to hold talks with separate factions if their claim is genuine.
