Former insurgents have agreed to rejoin Nepal's government, officials said, signaling an end to a political crisis that postponed elections. The agreement will also abolish Nepal's monarchy in a change that had been widely expected for months.
No date has been set for the ex-rebels -- a communist faction usually referred to as the Maoists -- to rejoin the government. They quit in September, demanding immediate abolition of the monarchy and changes to the election system.
