	Sher Bahadur Deuba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sher Bahadur Deuba (born June 13, 1946) was the prime minister of Nepal.
		Deuba was in turn removed by Birendra's successor, King Gyanendra, in October 2002, after Deuba dissolved Parliament and called for elections.
		Deuba took charge of most of the major government departments in the cabinet.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Deuba’s appointment is expected to ease political tension after months of street protests, but is unlikely to stop rebel violence that has wrecked the impoverished kingdom since 1996, analysts said.
		Deuba, who will be sworn in tomorrow, said he was trying to put together an all-party cabinet to end a political stalemate and give him a strong hand in possible negotiations with the Maoist guerrillas who control vast swathes of the countryside.
		Deuba said he would seek the cooperation of all parties to form a government, would work for peace and would aim to hold a general election by April next year, as requested by the king.

	Headline The Telegraph - Weekly (Nepal)
		This is the general comment of the Kathmandu intellectuals regarding the new Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba whose Monday afternoon "appeal" made in the name of the Maoists tentatively for the latter to heed to his call and acted accordingly.
		Deuba's fervent call for the Maoists to shun violence immediately and his appeal to the insurgents to come to the negotiating table has apparently been taken in a positive manner by the other camp.
		Deuba's appeal was almost simultaneously reciprocated by Maoists movement Chairman, Comrade Prachanda alias Pushpa Kamal Dahal who has already notified his comrade-in-arms to bring to a total halt all the warfare tactics currently being utilized to harass the police force and ultimately the government in Kathmandu.

	rediff.com: Deuba calls king's move unconstitutional
		Nepal's former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba termed the sudden move of King Gyanendra to dismiss him and his Cabinet as unconstitutional while leaders of the opposition parties and intellectuals expressed shock.
		Deuba's Cabinet decided to recommend to the king the postponement of the general election, which was scheduled for November 13, 2002, till November 19, 2003, after a meeting on Thursday.
		Although Deuba said after the royal address that he would convene an all-party meeting to discuss the constitutionality of the royal move, no such preparation was underway until the noon of Saturday, October 5.

	Nepal Update No. 12: Sher Bahadur Deuba takes over as Prime Minister
		Deuba has been a prime minister before for a short while and as he belonged to the Bhattarai camp it is expected that the Nepali Congress will close their ranks and face unitedly the major problem looming large in the country- the Maoist menace.
		Deuba has no such baggage to carry and it should be possible for him to deal with a King who is more assertive and intrusive and carve out a working relationship.
		Deuba needs all the support from his colleagues, the opposition and the Palace to tackle the grave situation facing the country.

		But Deuba, who last week was forced to personally detail the losses from three brutal coordinated attacks on police checkpoints when opposition lawmakers rowdily heckled Home Minister Khum Bahadur Khadka off the podium and into an adjournment of proceedings, was not talking about the global threat of Saudi-born dissident Osama Bin Laden's Al-Qa'eda terrorist network.
		Deuba, who engineered his rise to power largely through his promise to get a grip on the insurgency through unprecedented negotiation, declared that he had been betrayed by the rebels and set in motion a declaration of a state of emergency, which King Gyanendra issued on 26 November.
		Deuba felt the heat of this deterioration of security when he stood before the House last Monday -- all the more so because he was set to table a motion to extend the three-month state of emergency by another three months.

	TIMEasia Magazine: "Nepal is deteriorating by the day"
		Sher Bahadur Deuba, twice Prime Minister in the last 13 years, was sacked by King Gyanendra on Oct. 4, 2002 for dissolving parliament in May but failing to hold fresh elections.
		Deuba: All the King talks about and all he promises is how he has no desire to have power for himself and he means to hand over power if the parties are united.
		Deuba: That was a mistake by me. I should have gone to the polls within six months, but sometimes things get out of control.

	Comment on the reinstatement of Sher Bahadur Deuba as PM
		This royal step means a revoke of his putsch of October 4, 2002 when he dismissed the then elected Deuba government without any constitutional backing (I have discussed this at length in my contribution to the Social Science Baha conference of April 2003).
		Deuba’s reinstatement can be seen as a first royal admission that the step of October 4 was wrong and that King Gyanendra is willing to return to a democratic system of government.
		Let’s hope that Sher Bahadur Deuba, the other party leaders, King Gyanendra as well as the Maoists finally wake up and avert further harm from this lovely country and her citizens.

		Nepal’s new Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba’s unilateral declaration of a ceasefire early this week was responded to sooner than expected through a news flash of Maoist leader Prachand’s statement broadcast in an unprecedented manner on the state-controlled Nepal Television.
		Mr Deuba’s reported assurance to the Maoist leadership that the security forces had been instructed not to take any action assumes significance in light of the recent and unprecedented mobilisation of the Royal Nepal Army to search 71 policemen abducted by the Maoist rebels.
		Experts believe that Mr Deuba is confronted with a challenging and herculean task due to dissension in the Nepali Congress on finding a solution to the Maoist insurgency.
