Bonus Youtube: How Gen Z Overthrew The Government of Nepal
Added 2025-09-25 03:39:52 +0000 UTCNepal has faced a rash of political turmoil that has claimed the scalp of Prime Minister K.P. Oli and toppled his government. Oli’s resignation came after state forces killed 21 protesters during demonstrations on 8 September. Fourteen of the victims were 28 or younger – a reflection of the age cohort driving the rallies, widely referred to in Nepal as the “Gen Z protests”. The next day, a broader swathe of demonstrators defied curfews to embark on a violent rampage. Angry mobs attacked the residences of political leaders as well as party offices, setting the prime minister’s office, parliament and the Supreme Court ablaze. Protesters brutally assaulted several prominent politicians, including five-time Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his wife, Foreign Minister Arzu Rana Deuba, who has since been removed from her post.

Which is crazy to think that despite burning everything to the ground, the protesters had more compassion for her then her own husband 😭
