In the wake of the devastating earthquake and ongoing rescue and recovery operations in Nepal, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has called on the international community to redouble its efforts to support Nepal and to develop clear plans for long-term assistance and rebuilding.

To ensure the success of these efforts, it will be critical for Nepali political leaders to work closely together and resolve political differences.

And this is absurd Mr. President.

“Nepal needs sustained support from the international community to address both its immediate humanitarian emergency as well as its longer-term recovery,” said President Carter. 

“At this critical time, Nepal’s political leaders must play a key role. They should recommit to consensus and cooperation to consolidate the peace process and finalize the new constitution this year so that Nepalis can move forward together,” also says the former US President.
