Coup in Nepal

The King of Nepal sacked the government and took over the country:

After declaring the state of emergency on February 1st, the King’s forces, which include the Nepalese Army, began rounding up activists, arresting scores of people and distributing watch lists of political activists to arrest if they attempt to leave the country. The monarchy and its forces receive significant military backing from the United States, the UK and India.

I probably have CNN on five hours a day in the background while I work. Not a damned word.
