US congratulated maoists

Optimism

Our correspondent says that there is a sense of something new developing in Nepal and a mood of optimism that the former rebels - who have moved from the battlefield to forming a likely government in less than two years - can give Nepal the new start that it needs.

Sectors previously wary of the former rebels are now putting out feelers towards them.

A senior army figure, Brigadier General Shiva Ram Pradhan, has expressed the willingness of the military to work with the new government.

The chairman of the country's chamber of commerce has praised Maoist leaders for their promise to listen to the private sector when working out economic policy.

The US - which regards the Maoists as terrorists - has congratulated the Nepalese people for holding elections which it says were mostly peaceful.

It said that it looked forward to an assembly that reflected the people's will.

But in what our correspondent says are clear signs that things are not going to change overnight, there have been reports that Maoist youth league members have attacked members of other parties in outlying districts.

The former rebels on Tuesday said that the abolition of the monarchy was now just a "matter of procedure".
