The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), which has been working in Nepal for more than five decades, has suspended its projects. Reports quoting the SDC Country Director in Nepal, said that they had trouble with the Maoists for the last eight months, as they (insurgents) had been demanding the SDC to contribute financially or register with the outfit and added, "These go against our basic guiding principles.
