Nepal peace talks resume Friday
Nepal’s Maoist rebel leaders and government ministers will meet again on Friday to continue peace talks aimed at ending a seven-year insurgency in the Himalayan nation.
It will be the second round of talks between the two sides since they agreed to a ceasefire in January.
Last month, six government negotiators and five rebel representatives met for five hours in a heavily guarded hotel in the capital Kathmandu for the first round of talks.
The government is expected to seek clarification of rebel demands made during the first meeting, including that jailed rebel supporters be released and their cases dismissed.
