Nepal's Minister for Peace and Reconstruction Ram Chandra Poudel (R) reads through documents at a meeting in Nepal's Election Commission in Kathmandu on July 25. Nepal has started work on a South Africa-style truth and reconciliation committee, a key part of a peace deal that ended an often brutal 10-year civil war, an official was quoted as saying. PHOTO: AFP
