K�nig Gyanendra hat am heutigen Vormittag einen neuen Premierminister, Lokendra Bahadur Chand - dies war der letzte Premierminister des 1990 zu Ende gegangenen Panchayat Systems -, mit 9-k�pfigem Ministerkabinett benannt.

Es sind keine Minister der Hauptparteien dabei, das Kabinett wird jedoch erweitert und dann kommen auch andere Parteien zum Zuge.

Diese Regierung soll das Land nun in ruhigeres Fahrwasser f�hren, d.h. eine Atmosph�re f�r Frieden schaffen, die Korruption bek�mpfen und baldm�glichst Neuwahlen anberaumen.

Ich habe die aktuellen Artikel aus Kantipur Online, im englischen Originaltext unten beigef�gt.

Die Chance f�r einen neuen Anfang ist jetzt zumnindest gegeben - bleibt abzuwarten, was daraus gemacht wird und wie die Maoisten reagieren werden.

Hoffen wir mal das Beste!

Mit herzlichen Gr��en
