Topic: Nepal Bandh - Talk between Navyo Eller & Billy Held in German. Drive from Naya Baneshwor - Maiti Ghar - Parlament - Bhimsen Tower - New Road

Go for a drive through Kathmandu during an historic Nepal Bandh; with the call to boycott the elections. This Nepal Bandh and the boycott of the elections add up to a clear vote against the King. The King wanted this election in order to legitimate his governance in front of the public world. But with only 10 % turnout of voters that plan failed. Finally this led to the parliament regaining strength and also to peace negotiation with the maoists which meanwhile opend out into armistice.

2008 Maoist winning the vote by a large majority.
