Nepal plunged into chaos as Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned following deadly anti-corruption protests that killed at least 22 people. Crowds set fire to parliament in Kathmandu and torched homes of top leaders, including Oli and Sher Bahadur Deuba. The protests began after a controversial social media ban but soon grew into a wider youth-led movement targeting corruption and political privilege, including anger at “nepo kids.” On Tuesday night, the Nepal Army announced it had taken charge to restore order, warning against further violence. With the government leaderless, uncertainty looms over who will take control next. (PC: BBC)
