At least 19 people have been killed in Nepal as Gen Z protesters, angry over corruption, nepotism, and a sudden social media ban, clashed with security forces. The resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Tuesday has not calmed the unrest. Protesters accuse political leaders of promoting their own children—“nepo kids”—into powerful government and party posts, while ignoring qualified youth struggling with unemployment. Demonstrators also torched Parliament, government offices, and homes of senior politicians. With slogans like “Stop corruption, not social media,” youth demand a civilian-led government and new elections. Whether Oli’s exit ends this anger is uncertain. (PC: The Hindu)
