Il Nepal festeggia la fine della monarchia

I festeggiamenti per la repubblica in nepal, e i manifestanti che distruggono i documenti reali

Nepalese people have been celebrating after royal rule was abolished by a new constituent assembly meeting in the capital, Kathmandu.
The historic day follows successes in the country's recent elections by the anti-monarchist Maoist party.
The Maoists say the establishment of a republic should be treated as a festival.

Security was tight for the event, with the assembly building cordoned off by armed police.

Officials have said King Gyanendra and Queen Komal will be given 15 days to vacate the palace in central Kathmandu.
