 | | After Maoist insurgents broke a 4-month ceasefire with a series of violent attacks in November 2001, King Gyanendra, acting on the advice of the Cabinet of Ministers, declared a nationwide state of emergency which remained in effect until it expired on August 28. | | | Maoist efforts to disrupt the 1999 elections by intimidating voters and candidates had some effect. | | | The Government and the Maoists declared a ceasefire in July 2001 and held three rounds of talks in August, September, and November 2001. |

| | Nepal Terrorist Groups - Maoist Insurgents |
| | Nepalese Maoists had sent their delegates to the March 2001 Congress of PWG held at Abuz Marh in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. | | | A year earlier, in 2001, the Maoists had sent a senior leader named Gaurav as a fraternal delegate to attend the 9th Congress of the PWG. | | | Subsequently, the decision by Prachanda not to participate in the 1994 elections led to the creation of CPN-M in 1995 as an underground outfit. |

| | The Maoists’ unilateral cease-fire declaration followed a decision by the Council of Ministers to lift the ban on the Maoists and to revoke the bounties the previous government had put on top Maoist leaders’ heads. | | | The CPN-Masal, the forbearers of the Maoists, favored using violence to restore democracy, while the Fourth Congress favored peaceful acts of civil disobedience. | | | From 1846-1951, Nepal was ruled by hereditary chief ministers known as Ranas, who enjoyed the support of the colonial British administration based in India. |

| | The Maoists did not budge from their three main demands, which were for a new constitution, a republican state, and an interim government to make both happen. | | | With the ceasefire, the Maoists suddenly acted high-handedly. | | | Deuba used to be the Maoists’ darling, and his elevation to prime minister was celebrated by Pushpa Kamal Dahal (‘Prachanda’) as a victory over “the fascist Girija faction”. |

| | Nepal: A spiralling human rights crisis - Amnesty International |
| | Among increased political instability after four years of rule by a government led by the NC between 1990 and 1994, elections were called early. | | | When human rights principles were put at the heart of the new constitutional order in 1990, there was enormous hope that the patterns of abuses by state agents would end. | | | For example, Suresh Ale Magar, a university lecturer (see above, ''Disappearances''), whose lawyers had filed habeas corpus petitions on his behalf with the Supreme Court, was rearrested on no less than four occasions between 31 March 1999 and 23 December 1999 after the Supreme Court had ordered his release. |
