Talks were held between the Nepalese government and the rebel groups, but none of them were fruitful.
The United Kingdom, India, and the United States under the umbrella of the global war on terror provided economic and military support to the Nepalese government.
On November 26, 2006, a peace agreement was finally signed by the Seven Party Alliance and the Maoist Rebels thus ending the ten-year war.
