But it said the outlawed Maoists, who have been fighting a violent campaign to establish a communist state, would not be included. The UML decision comes ahead of peace talks planned between the government and the Maoists. There are more than 10 communist parties in Nepal. A BBC correspondent in Kathmandu says the move to isolate the Maoists has been prompted by fears that they could convert their support among Nepal's poor into votes if they join the electoral process. >From the newsroom of the BBC World Service ------------------------ "Without a Peoples Army the people have nothing" Mao ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Peoples_War ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
