Kathmandu Erupts in Violence: Nepal’s Social Media Ban Sparks Deadly Protests

Описание: Kathmandu Erupts in Violence: Nepal’s Social Media Ban Sparks Deadly Protests

Description:
Kathmandu is in turmoil. At least 13 people have been killed and dozens more injured after violent clashes erupted between protesters and security forces in Nepal’s capital. The unrest follows the government’s sudden decision to block major social media platforms—including Facebook, YouTube, and X—after companies failed to comply with new regulations.

Young demonstrators calling themselves “Gen Zed” marched toward parliament, demanding not only the restoration of online access but also voicing deeper frustrations over corruption, nepotism, and political instability. With more than half of Nepal’s population relying on social media daily, the blackout has hit businesses, families, and communication hard—fueling widespread anger.

As hospitals warn that the death toll could rise and allegations of excessive force emerge, Nepal finds itself at a crossroads. Will this blackout mark just a temporary disruption, or will it spark a larger movement against government mismanagement?

Stay tuned as we break down the situation, its causes, and what it means for Nepal’s future.
