Evangelists Not Intimidated by Nepal’s Anti-Conversion Law
In about a month and a half, Nepal is supposed to have a new constitution ready to go.
Faced with an Aug. 31 deadline, there’s a high risk of a collapsed peace process should the draft not be completed by that time.
The new deadline is the extension of another deadline at the end of May which was missed. The May target came about as the result of a 2008 election that eventually brought about an accord between the Maoist rebels and the government. However, the peace was hinged on meeting a two-year mandate for a new constitution.
The political chaos that could result from another miss could permanently derail what’s been accomplished since the civil war ended in 2006.
