Nepal
Looks Ahead
Nepal's future has never looked brighter. The country conﾭ
tinues to face many problems, but most of them can be
resolved through time if the current wave of democracy
continues to flow across the political landscape. Establishment of
the Loktantric alliance in 2006 marked a turning point in Nepal's
history. After centuries of oppressive government, the country now
looks to the future with new inspiration and hope. Under their new
government, the Nepalese people are eager to support a truly demoﾭ
cratic system and to assign the wornﾭout and ragged hereditary rule
to the dustbin of history. Nepalese were tremendously excited to
have a citizen elected as the head of state after 240 years of herediﾭ
tary royal control over the country and its people. For the first time
in their history, in fact, the Nepalese people determined who would
govern them.
