Dave, see all the red scarves? Some are holding red flags?

What / who are they?

I would suspect that those are Nepalese flags Probligo.

It is possible that the red we see in the picture only symbolizes the Maoist rebels, (which I take it you are implying) but it doesn’t seem to be that to me.

Is Maozhedong a Hero in the Probligo Firmament?

Wait a second now…don’t forget Lenin, and Pol Pot, and…of of course the uncompromizing hero of the palestinian freedom fighters, Mr. Arafat, oh and how about Hafez Assad and Sheikh Yassin(may the poor fellars R.I.P. for killing so many innocent Jews)

Right, now that I got ten minutes… and I hope that my html is accurate this time.

Compare the flag with those in the picture you put up…

Compare it with -

Now, have a read here

As with everything in this war, it’s impossible to know where the truth lies. But the bloodshed is all too real. At an estimated 10 killings a day, Nepal’s is the deadliest conflict in Asia. At times—such as when 1,023 died in a single month in 2002—this beautiful mountain kingdom briefly becomes the single most dangerous place on earth. Massacres have become commonplace: a favored Maoist technique is the “wave” attack, in which up to 5,000 rebels head into battle with the objective of leaving no enemy alive.

The brutality is unspeakable. Amnesty Inter-national accuses the 10,000-strong rebel group of kidnapping, torture and murder—including a penchant for clubbing victims to death and dismembering truck drivers who try to breach its blockades. Meanwhile, the Brussels-based International Crisis Group says Nepal’s ruler, King Gyanendra, runs “a no-party state that has decimated democracy and kills people at will.” Human Rights Watch in New York claims that his security forces have made Nepal the world leader in “disappearances,” with at least 1,200 people allegedly missing after being detained in the past four years. Since 2001, the war has cost the lives of 10,000 people. And the killing is far from over. In an e-mailed response to questions from TIME, rebel leader Prachanda warns: “The great People’s War has entered its last stage, of strategic offensive.”

The situation has already reached a crisis point. On Feb. 1, King Gyanendra seized power, effectively ending Nepal’s 14-year experiment with democracy. Police and soldiers arrested hundreds of students, journalists and human-rights workers, and senior politicians were placed under house arrest. In an exclusive interview with TIME at his palace in Kathmandu, the King says: “This is not a coup at all … [The people] have given a clear message to the terrorists that they are unwelcome and that they will no longer tolerate their attacks, their extortion and their kidnapping.” He vows that the 85,000-member Nepalese army will do “whatever is required” to restore order: “Those who do not abide by the law will feel pain.”

OK, do you still want “people power Nepalese style”?

OK, so images dont work on your comments.
