Nepal parliament to reconvene, new PM named

After a tense period of mass protests and violent responses from state security forces, Nepal appears to be settling down, for now. Parliament, which had been dissolved by the king, is scheduled to start and a new PM is due to be sworn in. The fact that he is ailing and might not be able to attend the ceremony is odd but all sides seem ready to come together. The Maoist rebels have even called for a three month cease fire to give the new government a chance to address issues.
