Nepal's government and Maoist rebels have agreed to restrictions on fighters and weapons in a deal that will allow the resumption of a peace process that had stalled.
The agreement came during a meeting in Kathmandu today (Wednesday) between Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala and rebel leader Prachanda (EDS: ONE NAME).
The government had wanted the rebels to disarm before next year's constituent assembly elections, a proposal opposed by Prachanda.
Under the agreement reached Wednesday, Mr. Koirala agreed to restrict troops to their barracks and Maoist rebels agreed to confine their fighters and weapons before and during the polls. They also agreed to place their fighters under U.N. supervision.
The agreement came as a special committee finalized a draft constitution that would allow Maoist rebels to be included in the government. A permanent new constitution will be written by an elected constituent assembly.
