Nepal's government and Maoist rebels have signed a peace accord, ending 10 years of fighting and beginning what is hoped to be an era of peaceful politics in the Himalayan kingdom.
The Nepalese government and Maoist rebels reached an agreement shortly after midnight Wednesday that would allow the rebels to join an interim parliament and government by the end of November, a key government negotiator said.
Nepalese politicians have returned to Parliament for the first time in four years following weeks of bloody protests and political turmoil that eventually forced the king to hand power back to elected officials.
After three weeks of protests and political turmoil, Nepal now has a new prime minister, and the Himalayan nation's parliament is set to reconvene Friday for the first time in four years.
Nepal's communist rebels have declared a three-month cease-fire one day before parliament is set to reconvene after weeks of bloody protests.
