the Nepalese Civil War

40-Point Demands (Nepali: ४० बुँदे मागपत्र) were given to Nepalese Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba by Baburam Bhattarai on 4 February 1996 in Singha Durbar.[1][2] Bhattarai said that if the demands were not met by 17 February, he would launch a war against the government.[3][4] As their demands were not met, subsequently, they launched the Nepalese Civil War on 13 February.[5][6]
