  • RUKUM DISTRICT, NEPAL, APRIL 19, 2004:  Nepalese farmers harvest wheat in Rukum District April 19, 2004.  All of the people in this region have declared themselves Maoists and those who are not, have left the area. Analysts and diplomats estimate there about 15,000-20,000 hard-core Maoist fighters, including many women, backed by 50,000 "militia".  In their remote strongholds, they collect taxes and have set up civil administrations, and people's courts. They also raise money by taxing villagers and foreign trekkers.  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.

Bounessa is a village of only 61 families, all of one sub-clan and tribe, the Swaqer of the Hel Sidi Mahmoud. The families were once nomadic,  but since they built a dam in 1960, they are settled now. "We were tired going from one place to another. Before the dam (was built) we cultivated where we could. With the dam and the cereals we have a new life. We can buy goats and sheep. Now I have stayed in a permanent house for seven years. " (Photo by Ami Vitale)
