Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)
The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) is a political party in Nepal that emerged in the early 1990s. It is known for its Maoist ideology, which emphasizes the importance of class struggle and the establishment of a socialist state. The party gained prominence during the decade-long civil war, known as the Maoist Insurgency, which began in 1996 and aimed to overthrow the monarchy and establish a people's republic.
After the end of the civil war in 2006, the party played a significant role in the peace process and the drafting of a new constitution. In 2008, Nepal was declared a republic, and the Maoists became the leading political force. The party has since participated in various coalition governments and continues to influence Nepalese politics.
