About three weeks ago a bunch of Maoists and Maoist-affiliated people sew off a number of statues of past kings that can be seen all over the country. They dragged them through the dust of the streets, demanding the republic. Now the remaining statues are heavily guarded by the armed police force, like this one that we see on our way to work every day.

Die Leibgarde des Königs - The King's Guard
Vor ungefähr drei Wochen sägten ein Haufen Maoisten und deren Sympatisanten eine Reihe von Statuen früherer Könige ab, die überall im Land gesehen werden können. Sie schleiften sie durch die staubigen Straßen und verlangten, dass die Republik ausgerufen werde. Jetzt werden die übrigegebliebenen Statuen gut von der bewaffneten Polizei bewacht, so wie diese, die wir jeden Tag auf dem Weg zur Arbeit sehen.
