Red Flag Flying on the Roof of the World, Inside the Revolution in Nepal: Interview with Chairman Prachanda

On February 13, 1996, coordinated armed raids and attacks involving thousands of men and women opened a new and glorious chapter in the history of Nepal.

Under the leadership of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), the masses launched a new People's War, aimed at sweeping away imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism. And for over three years now, the revolution in Nepal has continued to spread, sink roots and accomplish a lot.

All this is a truly inspiring and significant development in the world. But it has remained a hidden story for most people in the United States and around the world. And for those of us who have been following the People's War in Nepal, there has been precious, but far too little news of this important struggle.

The Revolutionary Worker has an exclusive story. RW reporter Li Onesto visited Nepal for several months in spring 1999 and traveled throughout the country with the people's army, meeting and talking with party leaders, guerrillas, activists in mass organizations and villagers--those waging this genuine Maoist People's War and beginning to exercise new people's power.
