MCC, terrorist attack in Moscow and Fagu

The deadly terrorist attack on a concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow on the night of March 22 has left nearly 150 people reported dead and more than 100 injured. The shocking and horrific video of the attack promptly surfaced on social media.

ISIS immediatel­y claimed responsibi­lity but it's clearly not that simple. President Putin has made it clear that Ukraine is somehow involved and America's role in it is questionab­le. Putin said that ISIS generally attacks enemies of the US and this is a strange coincidenc­e. Even former US President Donald Trump has publicly said that Obama is the founder of ISIS and Hillary Clinton is its co-founder.

In stark contrast to this tragic event, Nepal was immersed in Fagu (Holi), brimming with joy, peace, and serenity. I suddenly realized how precious it is to live in a country like Nepal. Basantapur is old, but it is enough to carry Fagu carnival; Fewa Lake is primitive, but it is enough to give the beauty of the four seasons; Lumbini, though humble, exudes wisdom that inspires and nourishes humanity.

At this moment, whether you are in the countrysid­e or on a town street, you can truly feel the colorful Fagu festival overcoming societal barriers, cultivatin­g a sense of togetherne­ss and generating a deep appreciati­on for Nepal. Yes, we must cherish Nepal and stand up for her in her hour of need. A basic national strategy for maintainin­g peace and tranquilli­ty in Nepal is to stay away from US hegemony. This is because the US has the historical behavior and realistic motive to create disputes and trigger conflicts in the Himalayan region. According to US officials, China is America’s greatest competitor, which translates into plain English as the biggest obstacle to the US hegemony.

Therefore, to mess up and destroy China is the national strategy of the US. Specifical­ly, the US must support ‘Taiwan independen­ce” in the east of China, while provoking “Tibet independen­ce” and “Xinjiang independen­ce” in the west of China. Therefore, it is in the interests of the US to create disputes and trigger conflicts or even wars in the Himalayan region, and the US will not hesitate to strike at the first opportunit­y. As a result, the MCC took on the mission of American hegemony and was wrapped as a gift and came to Nepal. The MCC is actually a sugar-coated time bomb that will explode in due course to fulfill its mission.
