NEPAL-CONSTITUTION-POLITICS-STRIKE

Nepalese supporters of the 30-party alliance, led by the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), look on as a motorcycle burns during one-day nationwide general strike in Kathmandu on January 20, 2015. Fighting broke out in Nepal's parliament early January 20, with Maoist lawmakers throwing chairs and injuring four security officers, as tensions ran high ahead of a deadline to complete a new national constitution. Hours later, the opposition Maoists began a nationwide general strike, seeking to prevent the ruling coalition from pushing through proposals without common agreement ahead of the January 22 deadline.
