First of all this started years ago. A little behind in your reading, are you?
Secondly, why is what another country chooses to do of any concern to you?

In Nov. 1990, King Birendra promulgated a new constitution and introduced a multiparty parliamentary democracy in Nepal. Under pressure amid massive pro-democracy protests in April 2006, King Gyanendra gave up direct rule and reinstated Parliament, which then quickly moved to diminish the his powers. In December 2007, Parliament voted to abolish the monarchy and become a federal democratic republic.

What "began" some 18 years ago only came to fruition in the last six or so months. In the "instant information age", I'd say probably the same thing. No, I had paid no attention to it, though, but perhaps you should ask a select group round this forum the same question when hammering the US of A instead of their own country(ies)? I've attempted the task, but I really don't care enough to read the diatribes of farners.
If Prachanda and his thugs can reestablish law and order so that normal life can be resumed, I will applaud him.
So far, the Young Communist League (Young Criminal League) is out of control. Reign them in Mr. Awesome, erstwhile Great Helmsman. Do that, and I'll sing your praises at every chautari.
While all this may have happened a while ago, it is a geopolitical coup for China who need bases in Tibet and China in case of military confrontation with India.
The suspicious massacre of King Birendra and Queen may have been the works of Guaonbu, the Chinese secret service, or the effective Pakistani secret service ISI.
We will see over time, but it is inevitable, the Nepalese will fall under Chinese influence.
