Date:21st February 2003
Summary:Reporter Sandra Jordan travels to Nepal where Maoist revolutionaries have waged a war that has claimed 7,000 lives in seven years - over 5,000 of which have been lost since the royal family massacre in June 2001.

Last month they called a ceasefire, but the failure of previous peace talks indicates that this newfound peace could be short-lived and the end to the killing may prove to be only temporary.
