Nepal's monarchy abolished, republic declared: official

A constitutional assembly in Nepal on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly in favour of abolishing the Himalayan nation's 240-year-old monarchy and declaring a republic, an official announced."The proposal for the implementation of a republic has been passed by a majority," a senior member of the 601-member body, Kul Bahadur Gurung,told the gathering.He said 560 members of the Constituent Assembly voted in favour, with just four opposed.Nepal's fiercely-republican Maoists, who fought for 10 years to oust unpopular King Gyanendra and create a republic, won the largest single bloc of seats in the assembly in April elections.The meeting is the culmination of a 2006 peace deal between the country's mainstream political parties and the rebels that brought to an end a civil war, which killed at least 13,000 people.
