Extractions: INDIA PAKISTAN NEPAL BHUTAN ... Publication Bhutan did not witness any significant terrorist activity during the year 2002. However, it remained home to at least three terrorist outfits operating in Indias northeast causing concern to both India as well as Bhutan. The activities of Ngolops (armed Nepalese dissidents) posed another serious threat to the security of Bhutan. Ngolops, referred to by Bhutanese authorities as anti-nationals, are people of Nepalese origin who claim that they are Bhutanese citizens forcibly evicted by the Royal government of Bhutan. The United Liberation Front of Asom ( ULFA ) and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland ( NDFB ) had set up camps in Bhutan after they were driven into the Bhutanese foothills by a major Indian military offensive in 1990-1991. With nowhere to go, they found the 266-kilometer Bhutan border convenient because of its proximity with the northeast Indian State of Assam. However, in recent times the Royal Government of Bhutan has been applying pressure on various Indian terrorist groups like the ULFA, the NDFB and the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation ( KLO ) to remove their camps from Bhutanese territory. Under an agreement between the ULFA and the Royal Government on June 18, 2001, the former had agreed to shut down four of the nine camps they have been operating in that country, and to relocate their cadres to some other destination, by December 31, 2001. It had also stated its intention to reduce the strength of its cadres in the remaining five camps. The Royal Government of Bhutan had threatened use of force in case of non-compliance with the December 31, 2001 deadline.

Extractions: South Asia is in a period of transition as it strives to implement effective economic, political, social, and legal structures to support sustained growth. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have arranged several billion dollars in assistance to the region. The IMF has prescribed such measures as cuts in subsidies (especially energy subsidies), deregulation, anti-poverty efforts, and increased privatization in the near future. ENERGY OVERVIEW Several recent oil finds in India may reduce import dependence in South Asia. In September 2004, UK oil firm Cairn Energy confirmed the potential of its Mangala field at between 100 and 320 million barrels. Both Mangala and the nearby N-A fields are expected to yield 60,000 to 100,000 bbl/d by late 2007. In early 2004, Cairn Energy discovered another oil reserve in Rajasthan at the N-V-1 well. The find is expected to have reserves of at least 300 million barrels and likely more than 500 million barrels. Such discoveries follow several other finds by Cairn in early 2004.

Extractions: Kusuzangpo so begrüßen Sie die Menschen im Himalaja-Königreich Bhutan. Eingeklemmt zwischen Indien und Tibet war das Land lange Hort religiöser Abgeschiedenheit und geheimnisvoller Geschichten. Die Entwicklung ging sehr langsam voran, was allerdings den Vorteil hatte, daß die Monarchie aus den Fehlern der schnellen Entwicklung der Nachbarstaaten gelernt hat. Das gilt auch für den Tourismus. Nur etwa fünf- bis sechstausend Fremde besuchen das Bergland jedes Jahr, was vor allem an den hohen Preisen liegt. Rund 200 US-Dollar pro Tag und Person sind für Vollpension und Programm zu zahlen. Individuelle Reisen ohne Begleitung sind nicht möglich. Doch zu sehen bekommt man ein Land, dessen Natur schon von Grund auf großartig und zudem noch weitgehend unberührt ist.
