Nepal Maoists extend ceasefire

Just in time for high season! However, please note that although they have extended the cease-fire, they are still hitting up trekkers who arrive in Lukla (en route to EBC) for 2500NRS each (about $30) and lesser fees in many other places. Essentially, the country now has 2 governments, and the Maoists control about 80% of the country. That doesn't mean it's unsafe for tourists, just be prepared to fork out cash at the checkpoints.

Quote:
Nepal's Maoist rebels extended a six-month ceasefire set to expire ahead of the next round of peace talks with the government to end a decade-old insurgency.

"The ceasefire will be extended, possibly for another three months, as we are confident of a peaceful solution with the government," Krishna Bahadur Mahara, Maoist spokesman told AFP on Sunday.

Plain enough, isn't it?

On second thoughts...... Um.... Why?
