Return to Democracy in Nepal? Story aired: Friday, April 21, 2006
After two weeks of protests in Nepal involving tens of thousands of people, King Gyanendra, the Nepalese king, addressed his nation today and said from this day forward, executive power is returned to the people.
Joining us to explain what this might mean and whether this announcement will help quell the massive revolution or possibly end the country's 237 year old monarchy is Bikash Sangraula, a Nepalese journalist reporting for the Christian Science Monitor from Kathmandu.
