Nepal’s major parties should cooperate in a coalition government led by the Maoists, who won the April Constituent Assembly (CA) elections, to help the world’s newest republic avoid political instability. The International Crisis Group today released companion reports: Nepal’s Election: a Peaceful Revolution?, an extensive analysis of the 10 April vote, and Nepal’s New Political Landscape, which examines the major challenges remaining in a peace process that has made considerable progress but is still incomplete. The way in which political leaders cope with the election aftermath will determine whether the remarkable result delivers peace and change or further conflict.
