Nepal violence leads to development fallout
(From Millennium Development Goals)

A story here on how the British government may suspend development work in northwestern Nepal because of Maoist violence there:

The British government has said it may suspend development work in a hill district in north-western Nepal following threats from Maoists.

The Department for International developmentlinks (DfID) said the rebels wanted it to register with them or stop work in the Parbat area.

A senior DfID official in Nepal, Bob Smith, ruled out meeting the demand.

The livelihood and forest development project is one a number of programmes funded by DfID in Nepal.


On another Nepal note, about a month or so ago I came across Daniel Sato's pictures and commentary from Nepal, but haven't been able to connect with him since. He was traveling around Nepal and visiting with Ashoka fellows, talking to them about what they do and taking some great photos. His blog doesn't seem to be working, but here are some pictures he's posted at Lightstalkers and Flickr. Hopefully I'll have an interview with Daniel soon about his experience and post some of his photos up here.
