News » The Innocents Maimed by Nepal’s Communist Power Struggle

The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist-Centre) or CPN(M-C), is a Nepalese political party. It was founded in 1994 and is currently led by Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal (more commonly known as Prachanda). Following massive popular demonstrations and a prolonged civil war against the monarchy, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) became the ruling party during the Nepalese Constituent Assembly election, 2008. The CPN(M) led a coalition government until May 4, 2009 when Prachanda resigned over a conflict with the Nepalese President, Ram Baran Yadav, regarding Prachanda’s decision to sack the head of the Nepalese Army, Rookmangud Katawal. The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist-Centre) was previously known as the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). It formally unified with the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre-Masal) in January 2009, resulting in its full, current name.
