Y.C.L.

Since I was last in Kathmandu (last weekend) the Y.C.L. has painted the town red, literally. It seems that every open space available has been painted with Y.C.L. propoganda. I cannot what it says but I can tell that the Y.C.L. (young communist league, associated with the Maoists) was responsible. Number one, because next to all the newly painted writing it says "YCL" in English, also because next to every slogan there is the communist sickle and hammer painted on. It is at times like these that I really wish I knew Nepali. Anyway, I am guessing the YCL is stepping up their "advertising", or whatever you would call it, because of the upcoming elections, supposedly to be held in November.
