Nepali Govt willing to talk with guerrillas: PM KATHMANDU, Monday (Xinhua) The Nepali government is willing to hold peace talks with the anti-government guerrillas, Nepali Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said. The government is willing to be "flexible to the maximum possible extent" in negotiating with the guerrillas on topics other than constitutional monarchy and multi-party democracy, The Rising Nepal newspaper on Monday quoted Deuba as saying. "Problems will not be resolved by killing the public," he noted, adding that "those indulging in killing people will not give rights to the people." The prime minister also expressed his commitment not to allow the peace talks with the guerrillas to be a failure for the third time. The previous two rounds of peace talks between the Nepali government and the anti-government guerrillas were held in August- November 2002 and April-August 2003 respectively, in an attempt to end the eight-year-long insurgency which has claimed nearly 10,000 lives in the Himalayan kingdom. |
