Maoist rebels call off cease-fire
Nepal's Maoist rebels have decided not to continue their unilateral cease-fire which expired on Monday after four months. Declared on 1 September 2005, this was the first unilateral cease-fire announced by the rebels after nearly a decade of violence.

"The royal army is surrounding our people's liberation army, which is in defensive positions, to carry out ground as well as air attacks on us," the rebels said in a statement.

"Therefore, we are compelled to go on the offensive not only for the sake of peace and democracy but for the sake of self-defence," Prachanda said.

Prachanda said the rebels "respected and deeply understood" appeals from the United Nations and the European Union to extend the truce and urged them to understand the rebels' compulsion.

He said the Maoists were ready to announce a fresh ceasefire if there was an understanding to form an interim government and draft a new constitution to chart the future of the monarchy, a longstanding demand of the rebels.
