Nepal calls fresh elections as statute talks fail

Nepal’s prime minister called fresh elections on Monday after the government failed to agree a new post-war constitution, plunging the nation into a political crisis. The country’s parliament, elected in 2008 to write the statute after 10 years of civil war, will be disbanded ahead of November elections.
