Media reports from Nepal, quoting Agence France Presse, said, on August 26, sections among the Belgian society have expressed serious reservations on the proposed sale of weapons to the Nepalese government. Reportedly, arms manufacturer Fabrique Nationale (FN), headquartered near Liege, Walloon area, has bagged the order for 5,500 machine guns. Reports said the debate in Belgium is, whether it would be justified on humanitarian grounds to supply weapons to a country where there is an armed conflict involving civilians. Government troops in Nepal are presently battling with left-wing extremists, the Maoist insurgents, who have launched what they call ‘people’s war’ in 1996. Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel reportedly has justified the sale and said, "The sale of arms, the production of arms is not immoral".
