Since 1990, Nepal has undergone considerable turbulence in its attempt to embrace more open political and economic systems. It has recently emerged from a long period of internal armed conflict after the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) – CPN (M) launched an insurgency in 1996. During that process, internal power struggles developed into a tri-polar conflict among the royal palace, the Maoists and the mainstreamed political parties. In November 2005, a Seven-Party Alliance (SPA) of parliamentary parties and CPN (M) signed a 12-point understanding vowing to “establish absolute democracy by ending autocratic monarchy”. This was followed by mass demonstrations across the country brought an end to the King’s direct rule, led to the restoration of Parliament and mutual ceasefire, and opened the way for further negotiations between the SPA and CPN (M). A Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed in November 2006, consolidating earlier agreements and understandings, and declared an end to the war. The conflict had claimed the lives of more than 13,000 since 1996. In addition the economy, especially the agriculture sector had been adversely affected as a result of the long period of internal conflict.
