In June 2001 Crown Prince Dipendra went on a shooting-spree assassinating 11 members of the royal family including King Birendra र Queen Aishwarya before shooting himself. Due to उनका survival he temporarily became king before dying of उनका wounds resulting in Prince Gyanendra (Birendra's brother) inheriting the throne. Meanwhile, the Maoist rebellion escalated, र in October 2002 the king temporarily deposed the सरकार र took complete control of it. A week later he reappointed another government, but the country is still very unstable because of the civil war with the Maoists, the various political factions, the king's attempts to take more control of the सरकार र worries about the competence of Gyanendra's son र heir, Prince Paras.
In the face of unstable governments र a Maoist siege on the काठमाडौं Valley in August 2004, popular support for the monarchy began to wane. On 2005-02-01, Gyanendra dismissed the entire सरकार र assumed full executive powers, declaring a "state of emergency" to quash the Maoist movement. Politicians were placed under house arrest, phone र internet lines were cut, र freedom of the press was severely curtailed. The king's new regime made little progress in उनका stated aim to suppress the insurgents.
King Gyanendra took control once again on February 1, 2005. Municipal elections in February 2006 were described by the European Union as "a backward step for democracy", as the major parties boycotted the election र some candidates were forced to run for office by the army.[३] In April 2006 strikes र street protests in काठमाडौं forced the king to reinstate the parliament. A seven-party coalition resumed control of the सरकार र stripped the king of most of उनका powers. At present, the future of monarchy remains in question, र it is unclear whether the Maoist parties, which part of the interim government, will hold true to their cease fire. As of 15 January 2007 Nepal is governed by an unicameral legislature under an interim constitution.
