Thousands march in Nepal in support of peace talks KATHMANDU, Friday (Reuters) Thousands of people marched in the Nepali capital on Friday to press the government and Maoist rebels to resume peace talks, just days after the insurgents called an end to a truce. More than 10,000 people - including school children and their teachers - began a five-km (three-mile) silent march after offering prayers at the Martyrs' Memorial in the heart of the city. "Both sides must hold talks and not push the country to the brink of a civil war," said Umesh Shrestha, head of the Private and Boarding Schools' Organisation Nepal, a sponsor of the march. |
