BBC NEWS | South Asia | Nepalese peace talks stall again: "Peace talks in Nepal aimed at ending the decade-long Maoist insurgency have broken up after the two sides were unable to bridge key differences.
The fourth round of meetings in a week between the government and the rebels again stalled on the issue of rebel disarmament and the monarchy's future.
Both sides said they would meet again but no date was set for fresh talks.
The Maoists have warned that if the talks fail, they will launch massive street protests.
Sunday's meeting between Prime Minister GP Koirala and the rebel's leader, known as Prachanda, lasted about half an hour."
