Part 4/13:
The government's attempt to quell the unrest by lifting the social media ban was too little, too late. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned amidst the turmoil, along with the Home Minister. Yet, the protests continue, driven not solely by social media restrictions but by a broader sense of disillusionment. Nepal’s political landscape has been fractured—having had 13 different governments over the past 15 years—with persistent issues of corruption, nepotism, and economic fragility. Young Nepalese see little hope for systemic change, and their protests embody a generational plea for accountability and a more stable future.
