World Briefing | Asia: Nepal: Premier Urges King to Quit Now
Mon, 12 Mar 2007 22:19:02 EDT | New York Times
Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala called for King Gyanendra to abdicate now instead of waiting for a vote on his future. Mr. Koirala?s interim government is organizing elections for an assembly that will determine whether Nepal will remain a kingdom. With demands growing to declare Nepal a republic, he said abdication would ease the transition to a permanent political setup in Nepal. ?The king and crown prince are persons of ill repute,? he told reporters in Biratnagar, 125 miles southeast of Katmandu. In nearby Inurwa, officials imposed a curfew after five people were injured in clashes between Madhesis, the main ethnic group in region, and Maoists. The Madhesis seek a greater stake in government jobs and in Parliament.

World Briefing | Asia: Pakistan: Tribesmen Promise to Shun Militants
Mon, 26 Mar 2007 22:26:37 EDT | New York Times
Some 800 tribal elders in northwest Bajaur pledged not to give shelter to anyone suspected of terrorist activity. The promise is a bid to bring peace to the tribal region near the Afghan border, where a strike by an American Predator drone in January 2006 came close to killing Al Qaeda?s second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri, and did kill 18 others. Last October, an airstrike by Pakistani forces on a religious school in the district reportedly killed 83 people. Similar promises made by tribal leaders in North and South Waziristan have been criticized because, in exchange, the government agreed to pull out troops. The Bajaur pledge comes with no such agreement by the government.
