RUKUM DISTRICT, NEPAL, APRIL 20, 2004: A woman passes a Maoist guerilla carrying grass for her cattle in Rukum district April 20, 2004. In their remote strongholds, the Maoists collect taxes from the villagers and have set up civil administrations, and "people's courts" to settle rows. They also raise money by taxing villagers and foreign trekkers. Though young, they are fearsome fighters and specialise in night attacks and hit-and-run raids. They are tough in Nepal's rugged terrain, full of thick forests and deep ravines and the 150,000 government soldiers are not enough to combat this growing movement that models itself after the Shining Path of Peru.
