Everyone is fighting "for the people," but the people of Nepal are suffering the most from the Maoist rebellion. The Maoists, led by middle and upper class revolutionaries, are determined to burn the country down, if need be, in order to attain their goals of a communist dictatorship. Their upper and middle class foes, who control the government, say they will fight to the end to prevent this. The poor farmers in the countryside, are taking most of the casualties as these urban factions fight each other.
