Nepal: On Maoists and Voluntary contributions

Categories: South Asia, Nepal, Politics

United We Blog! [1] on attending a Maoist meeting. “They said that the Maoists didn’t threaten but it was unwise to cause problems with them. This is becoming a constant theme. The Maoists are probably being honest when they claim that donations are voluntary. What they don’t realize (or at least don’t admit) is how many people give them support because of intimidation without that intimidation being overtly communicated.”
