What prompted the student-led 'Gen Z' protests in Nepal that later expanded into a broader anti-government movement?
Government ban on social media platformsThe protests initially began as a reaction to the Nepalese government's controversial ban on social media platforms, which sparked outrage among the youth. This restriction was seen as an attack on freedom of expression and quickly galvanized widespread public anger. The movement soon evolved beyond the social media issue, reflecting deeper discontent with systemic corruption, unemployment, and perceived apathy of the political elite. As the demonstrations grew, they were marked by violent clashes, police firing that killed at least 19 people, and attacks on key political figures’ residences. The unrest ultimately led to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s resignation amid massive pressure.
