Nepal’s government has deployed air patrols and thousands of police officers to guard against violence heading up to the next week’s elections. The April 10th vote is to select an assembly which will rewrite Nepal’s constitution and determine whether to replace the monarchy with a republic. The elections are a key part of Nepal’s peace process which has allowed former Maoist rebels to join the government after a decade-long civil war.
