Nepal – Vishnu and/or Mao – Vive la République!
In April 2008, after a ten year reign of terror, after 13 000 people had died, the Maoist rebels, supported by an ever more impoverished and starving population, took control by being voted into power, without a single shot being fired, even though there was the sinister threat of guerilla forces returning. Quidu's photos tell the tale of the perilous changeover in Nepal, the country wedged between democratic India, China with its rampant, totalitarian capitalism, and Tibet, the victim.
