Post my whirlwind visit to Kathmandu, I was back in my flat in London last night thinking that something dramatic will happen sooner than later and here I am now writing this just a few hours after the resignation of Prime Minister Dahal.
The question now is will Pushpa Kamal Dahal once again don his combats and return to his pre peace agreement alter ego of Prachanda?
The resignation was inevitable after the President’s explicit patronage offered to COAS Katwal, a clear undermining of the Prime Minister’s position and authority.
Despite Dahal’s assurance about his commitment towards the peace process, does his decision today mark the beginning of renewed aggression?
