Is Nepal Now a Living Hell?
Having subsisted under this present government with the daily deprivation of basic supplies such as petrol, gas and medical supplies for over 3 months living conditions are reaching extremely dire circumstances.
From my own recent visit to Nepal during the last festive period, the experiences I have encountered have confirmed the above analysis.
Prior to my visit I was sure about one thing; this was not going to be the same visit as my previous ones as nothing would alleviate the carnage that had created by devastated earthquake. However, I was unprepared for how the political crisis has worsened the situation leading us nowhere but into a cul-de-sac. I witnessed first-hand the chaotic situation in which millions of Nepalese now ekes out a bare existence, where life spirals backwards into a primitive state. The simple tasks of filing gas and petrol have become onerous and insurmountable obstacles. The political impasse which now engulfs the country has only exacerbated an already existing problem. While blame cannot be given for natural disasters, the political machinations which now paralyse the country could have been avoided had government not put their self-interest first over the Nepalese masses, as no political affairs is above the human existence.
Now coming to Nepalese greatest festival Dashain and Tihar. This was one of my reasons to visit Nepal, where people normally have joyous moment in their lives at this time of the year. But on this occasion the aforementioned festival lost its essence, over-shadowed by the dark cloud and tragic moments as the people were still mourning the loss of lives following the severe earthquake.
Two things have struck me in my head during my visit. Firstly resilience of people at this time was highly laudable. Secondly,the government's own actions demonstrated its incompetence in coping with this crisis.
I am not politically savvy individual but anyone with an ounce of intelligence can tell that this could have been handled in a more appropriate way.
If the present deadlock continues, the country as a whole will face a human catastrophe of immense proportions. Shortages of fuel and food are set to cause misery and deprivation on a national scale, something which Nepal can simply not afford.
The government is doing precious little to get this ban rescinded or provide an alternative method to end this humanitarian crisis. We need to ask why the time lag in amending the constitution and the fallout this is having on people's lives. This is not the only political turmoil that has occurred in Nepal but the latest occurrence in a sequence of a dysfunctional political turmoil that has paralysed the whole country.
While I am not sure what future holds for Nepal with this failed government, can any of these political parties be trusted anymore?
Personally, I am rather bit perplexed and sceptical about it.
