Nepalese People, Be Calm And Patience!
The news that 14 Nepalese have been killed in the terrorist attack has shocked everyone in Nepal and many are reacting with grief and sorrow on Facebook and other social medias. This attack is reminding the execution of the 12 Nepalese workers in Iraq.
Nepalese are reacting with grief at the news that terrorists have killed 14 Nepalese security guards in Kabul. They were killed in an attack on a minibus. The minibus was carrying Nepalese security guards in Kabul. It was the first attack in the capital since the start of the holy fasting month of Ramadan two weeks ago. Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack on a minibus.
The news that 14 Nepalese have been killed in the terrorist attack has shocked everyone in Nepal and many are reacting with grief and sorrow on Facebook and other social medias. This attack is reminding the execution of the 12 Nepalese workers in Iraq. Islamic militants in Iraq had killed Twelve Nepalese hostages in 2004. Nepalese workers kidnapped by Islamist extremists were murdered in the biggest mass killing of hostages. The news was received with anger and grief in Nepal and thousands of angry demonstrators took to the streets of Kathmandu.
This time, everything is under control. Nepalese people should show patience because history has already proved that the reaction with anger and riot is harmful. But it's not only time to express grief and sorrow; but also time to be more unified against global terrorism. Terrorism doesn't have any nationality. Terrorists can kill any national around the world and everybody is under threat. It is not just an attack on Kabul; it is an attack on all humanity. This is why all Nepalese around the world should stand strongly for humanity.
Nepal lacks a law specifically criminalizing terrorism or material support to terrorist networks. In response to an act of terrorism, Nepali courts would prosecute the perpetrators on the basis of laws pertaining to murder or arson. At this point, the government of Nepal should rethink about national policy and law against terrorism.
At this point, the government of Nepal should rethink about national policy and law against terrorism. Because South Asia is at high risk of terrorism and Nepal could be a safe heaven. Nepal has experienced no significant acts of international terrorism yet. However, Nepalese are losing lives in Iraq and Afghanistan in terrorist attacks.
As Country Reports on Terrorism 2015 said, Nepal lacks a law specifically criminalizing terrorism or material support to terrorist networks. In response to an act of terrorism, Nepali courts would prosecute the perpetrators on the basis of laws pertaining to murder or arson, for example. Most Nepali officials view Nepal as being at no or low risk for an international terrorist incident on Nepali soil. Nepal has limited ability to process modern forms of evidence. An open border with India and relatively weak airport security is increasing the risk that international terrorists could use Nepal as a transit or staging point.
Nepal should make a proper law criminalizing terrorism and should be aware of the risk that terrorists could use Nepal as a staging point. Otherwise, Nepalese could lose their lives not only in Iraq or Afghanistan because of terrorist attacks but also in Nepal too.
At Last, I would like to give my deepest sorrow to the victims of this horrific attack. And I am writing these lines to express my deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of victims.
