Описание: The Discord Revolution: How Nepal’s Gen Z Toppled a Government

In September 2025, the world witnessed an unprecedented political upheaval in Nepal led by a "leaderless" network of students and young citizens. Known as the *Gen Z protests* or the **September Revolution**, this movement resulted in the resignation of the Prime Minister, the burning of major government buildings, and a first-of-its-kind exercise in digital democracy.

🔍 What Happened?
The movement was initially triggered on September 4, 2025, when the Nepalese government banned 26 social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, and WhatsApp. While officials cited regulatory compliance, critics and youth saw it as an attempt to silence the viral "#NepoBaby" trend, which exposed the lavish lifestyles of the political elite’s children while the average citizen struggled with high unemployment and low wages.

💥 A Turning Point in History
On September 8, what began as a peaceful rally in Kathmandu was met with lethal force. Security forces deployed live ammunition, resulting in the deaths of 19 people in a single day, many of whom were students in school uniforms. By the end of the week, the death toll reached 76, with over 2,000 injured.

In the ensuing rage, protesters stormed and set fire to iconic institutions, including the Federal Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Presidential residence. Faced with total collapse and military pressure, *Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli resigned* on September 9.

🎮 The "Discord" Democracy
In a historic twist, the movement moved its headquarters to the gaming app Discord. A server with over 145,000 members became a virtual parliament where more than 10,000 users debated and voted on a new leader. They selected ''Sushila Karki'', a former Chief Justice known for her anti-corruption stance, to lead the interim government.

🗳️ What’s Next for Nepal?
Interim PM Sushila Karki has dissolved the House of Representatives and scheduled **fresh general elections for March 5, 2026**. The sources describe this as a "technocratic reset" aimed at restoring accountability and stability to a broken system.
