Nepal's government has reached a peace agreement with a major ethnic rights group that was fighting for greater autonomy in the restive south, officials said.
The Madhesi People's Rights Forum is one of several ethnic groups that have been organizing strikes, transportation shutdowns, and demonstrations in the south to demand greater rights for minorities. http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20070024559
