The king has been defeated but the defeat is not complete.

They want to enter mainstream politics. They are saying there has been enough bloodshed.

No matter what the royal government does, we will stick to our plans for a peaceful demonstration, and we strongly believe that it will be non-violent.

It's clear that the king does not have support.

This man simply does not understand how people have been hurt, how people have been wounded, during these protests.

Now it is clear he will not be able to bring peace back to the country. People are willing to die for this. Anger is there, it is growing.

What the Maoists too should understand is that as long as they resort to violence they will play into the hands of the regime.

This was basically a ploy to sell to the international community that he is interested in democracy, which he is not. The world community now knows he has no support.

We will defy the ban. What the government has done is wrong.

We'll demonstrate in front of the election office to urge people not to stand (for the elections).
