The Olympian Dachhiri Sherpa: Nepal, Peace, and the Olympic Games

Dachhiri Sherpa (born November 3, 1969) is the only olympic athlet from Nepal. He will cross-country ski on Feb 26 at 4:00 am Eastern time.

I wonder whether Nepal, which undersigned peace like the other 84 nations taking part to the games, will respect the cease-fire of the civil war.

Last Thursday Feb 9 the first local elections occurred. However, rebel attacks against the despotic King Gyanendra and the government have intensified in recent weeks.

“We refuse to accept the results from these so-called elections,” said Krishna Sitaula of the Nepali Congress party.

Requiem for the Olympic Peace.
