The consequences for religion in Nepal have yet to unfold.):<\/p>\n<p>The government of Nepal and Maoist guerrillas have signed a historic peace accord, declaring a formal end to a 10-year rebel insurgency. Under the deal, the rebels will join a transitional government and their weapons will be under UN monitoring. Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala and Maoist rebel leader Prachanda signed the deal in Kathmandu. &#8220;This ends the more than one decade of civil war in the country,&#8221; Prachanda said after the deal was signed. The country&#8217;s multi-party government and the Maoist rebels have been observing a ceasefire for more than six months since they coordinated mass protests that forced King Gyanendra to restore parliament and end direct rule.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This moment marks the end of the 238-year-old feudal system,&#8221; 52-year-old Prachanda declared. &#8220;Our party will work with new responsibility and new vigor to make a new Nepal.&#8221; Mr. Koirala was equally ecstatic. &#8220;The agreement has ended the politics of killings, violence and terror and started the politics of cooperation,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I would like to thank Prachanda as well for finding a peaceful solution. Nepal has entered into a new era and it has opened the door for peace. &#8220;Now we need to meet together in cooperation and understanding to make sure this agreement is fully implemented,&#8221; the 85-year-old PM said.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>news.bbc.co.uk KATHMANDU, NEPAL, November 21, 2006 (HPI note: This accord between the communist rebels and the government of Nepal is,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11919\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
