Leaders of the UCPN(Maoist) and their supporters numbering upwards of 25,000 marched through central Kathmandu in the initiation of a planed 10 day round or protests aimed at the establishment of "civil supremacy" and or the dissolution of the current government. They are slated to culminate in the blockade of the nations only international airport, and the declaration of autonomous regions across the country.
The Maoists have presented the ruling parties in government with three options for a possible resolution of the crisis; allow a debate in parliament on the role of the President, table a joint resolution describing the president’s previous move to sack the army chief as unconstitutional, or force the president to issue a public apology.
