NEPALPeace talks edge on slowly Political differences between Nepal's political leaders and communist rebels could be easily resolved if the guerrillas lay down their arms, lawmakers said Oct. 10, but the Maoists remained skeptical as peace talks dragged on.
Hundreds of activists, meanwhile, protested outside the prime minister's official residence where the talks were taking place. The peace process, aimed at ending a 10-year insurgency, had been stalled for four months on the issue of weapons management. In June, the political parties and rebels agreed that the communists should be allowed to join an interim government in return for surrendering their weapons, but no progress was made on either front.
