Post-UN Mission: Political Overtures in Kathmandu

Staffan de Mistura has completed his Nepal Mission. The leader of that high-level United Nations delegation who visited Nepal recently to explore possible UN assistance in the country’s peace process believes the Maoists and the government will agree on arms management in the coming days. Many hope, and then doubt that Mistura’s diplomatic language (I am confident/I am optimistic, etc) reflects the ground realities. Clearly, there is no any political consensus yet among the parties. So much so that Maoists have said the peace process is in danger of collapsing even as they are writing a joint letter (with the SPA govt) to the UN.
