KATHMANDU, Sept 17 (AFP): Nepal's political leaders held emergency talks Monday with former rebel Maoists to try to persuade the ultra-leftists to remain in government and cancel protests planned for later this week.
The Maoists have vowed to stage major demonstrations and quit the government if Nepal is not immediately declared a republic, a move that would deal a major blow to last year's landmark peace deal that ended a decade of civil war.
