15 years since the Nepal civil war end: Why people in the war zone don’t forget the violence

Rolpa was once an eventful place during the 10 years of the civil war in Nepal . But, the people of Holeri in the district suffered immensely. After 2001, Holeri was targeted by the government forces that had become a Maoist stronghold. To describe the atrocities from that time might be difficult, but among many of the victims is Bhairav BK.

“The Maoists used to visit house to house for food and shelter. They would take us to their programmes. Meanwhile, when the army came to the village, they would beat us for colluding with the Maoists.”
