Nepalese Maoists on the Verge of Splitting

Thanks to comrade OskarMLM for making these reports available. According to these reports the left-wing of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) from the “hardline” under the leadership of comrade Mohan Baidya have, apparently, announced that they will split from the Party after May 27, which is the deadline for drafting a new constitution for Nepal. Of course keep in mind that these reports from bourgeois news sources and cannot be verified by The Speed of Dreams. 

The Speed of Dreams would also like to remind its readers of the formation of the Jan Sevak Bureau by the left-wing of the party out of the Young Communist League and disaffected members of the People’s Liberation Army.

Comrade Kiran: On the Problems of the Party and Their Resolution

The follow is a translation of Comrade Kiran’s most recent report to the Central Committee of Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). Thank have to go comrade Lamsal and the rest of  Next Front for making this document available in English.

This is latest in the back and fourth between the left-wing of the UCPN (M) lead by comrades Kiran, Bidal and Guarav against the rightist party leadership of Prime Minister Bhattarai and Chairman Prachanda.

These days Prachanda says the Maoist vanguard party is dying and Kiran says it is being born anew in the struggle against revisionism, opportunism and liquidationism. This is important as many comrades around the world, especially in Latin America, have begun to loose their patience with the UCPN (M), including the left-wing, for not definitively breaking with Bhattarai and Prachanda. These comrades label the UCPN (M) leftists as being merely the red fraction of the bourgeoisie.

Full Text of Press Statement by Comrade Kiran and Badal

Respected media persons,

It is known to all that an agreement paper entitled “An agreement reached among the political parties on the issues including peace process” and jointly signed by the chairman of the UCPN (Maoist), chairman of CPN (UML), president of the Nepali Congress and leaders from United Democratic Madheshi Front was brought to public through media. The said agreement has seriously hurt at the credence and prestige of the great people’s war waged by the Maoists for ten years, the expectations, aspirations and dreams of the martyrs, disappeared and injured fighters and the outstanding records of devotion, heroism and sacrifice by the PLA and the entire freedom-loving masses as well. Although efforts have been made to beautify this agreement as a historical agreement that initiates a new era but in essence it has become a symbol of capitulation and a serious betray towards nation and the people. We strongly oppose this kind of agreement.
