In the midst of a civil war, Nepal's king recently staged a coup, suddenly shutting down media coverage and arresting hundreds of people. Sage Radachowsky is a Boston-based ally to the struggle for democracy in Nepal. He was there on February 1st, 2005 when the king took over. Listen to this radio interview to learn more about the conflict between Maoists and the king, hear stories of what life is like there, and learn about the U.S. reaction.
This is an interview with an eye-witness to the recent royal coup in Nepal. Sage tells stories about what he's seen, clarifies the political forces involved, and speaks about his own friends who are caught up in the incredibly scary and painful upheaval.
This is great information, I especially liked to hear Sage's stories about people he has known in Nepal and their experiences. It put a human face on the war over there.
I read in the times this morning a story about how these "vigilante" groups were rising out of the villages to go after maoists, but it sounded like the government was giving them incentives to do so. Anybody know what the real story is on that?

Where's the link? Is my computer screwing up? I don't see a link to a radio interview here, just to the website, which has lots and lots of info but no easily findable interview with a Bostonian.
