Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
KATMANDU, Nepal, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Nepal is in danger of political collapse, a visiting EU delegation has warned.
Tom Phillips, leader of the delegation, told the BBC that failure of constitutional forces could lead to a breakdown of government institutions.
King Gyanendra seized direct power in February saying politicians had failed to tackle a Maoist the insurgency.
The EU team also accused the Maoists of recruiting child soldiers despite calling a cease-fire last month.
"We are greatly concerned that unless all involved move quickly to address the country's problems effectively, there is a strong risk of political collapse in Nepal," Phillips said at the end of a three-day visit.
He urged the Nepalese government to reach out to the political parties to return to multiparty democracy.
Phillips said the government and security forces must combat what they called the "culture of impunity" on human rights violations. But, he told Maoist rebels the EU rejected the use of violence.
