Kathmandu – Democrazy?

These last two weeks, Kathmandu is always shocked by the demonstrations to demand more democracy in this country. It was started by banner marches in New Road, and since last few days it has brought huge problems to the traffic. The junction of Rani Pokhari was completely stucked, the road was closed, as the demonstrators threw stones from top of buildings. Most of them are university students, but probably they are lack of knowledge of how to demonstrate properly. They yelled “Democracy, democracy!!!!”, but when a Chinese tourist with quite “open” T-shirt, the yells changed to be “Hi, sexy girl…, sexy girl….”.
While their goal may probably right, but their way of demonstrating is absolutely doesnt get symphaty from the people. The inconvenience caused, especially the total traffic jam and the stones threw to any vehicles arouse anger from the traffic users.
Probably need to send some Indonesian activists here, guyz?
