  • Summary: Reporter Sandra Jordan travels to Nepal where Maoist revolutionaries have waged a war that has claimed 7,000 lives in seven years - over 5,000 of which have been lost since the royal family massacre in June 2001. The Maoists claim they intend to drag the country from the Middle Ages into the 21st century. Last month they called a ceasefire, but the failure of previous peace talks indicates that this newfound peace could be short-lived and the end to the killing may prove to be only temporary.
