Watch part two
Just three years after a ceasefire ended a decade-long civil war, Nepal is facing the greatest threat to its hard-earned peace.
Law and order is breaking down and the economy is struggling.
Meanwhile, 19,000 ex-Maoist combatants remain in UN-monitored camps, with efforts to integrate them into the national army stalled.
And with the recent resignation of the Maoist leader Prachanda as prime minister, a new government faces the challenges of holding together a diverse coalition and formulating a new constitution by May 2010.
In this edition of 101 East, we speak with the new prime minister, Madhav Kumar Nepal, and ask if Nepal's fragile peace process is coming to an end.
This episode of 101 East can be seen from Thursday, June 25, 2009 at the following times GMT: 1230; Friday 0300; Saturday 0530, 1730; Sunday 0330, 1630; Monday 0530, 1630; Tuesday 1430; Wednesday 0830; and Thursday 0630.
