Despite Progress, Maoist Rebels In Nepal Refuse To Disarm
Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer Kathmandu, Nepal (AHN) - Despite recent political progress in limiting the power of the King, and forming an interim, coalition parliament, Maoist rebels in Nepal will not disarm. The rebel group demands to see successful elections for a new legislative body to develop a new Nepalese constitution, before they surrender their weapons. The move comes after Nepal's home minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula, declares, "The formation of the interim government is not possible without settling the Maoists' arms issues." "The interim government containing the Maoist will be formed only after the management of the rebels' arms." Both parties will ask the United Nations for a resolution on the issue.
