Nepal is experiencing widespread unrest, with troops patrolling Kathmandu and a curfew in effect following escalating protests. The demonstrations, largely driven by Gen Z, erupted due to deep-seated issues including high unemployment, rampant corruption, and a perceived entrenched elite. Frustration over limited opportunities has led many young Nepalis to seek work abroad, with remittances forming a significant portion of the nation's economy.

The recent imposition of a social media ban, intended to quell dissent, instead acted as a catalyst, further igniting public anger. While the ban was eventually lifted and Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli and his cabinet resigned, protests continued, with reports of government buildings and politicians' homes being set ablaze. The demonstrations highlight a growing disillusionment with the democratic republic, established ten years ago, and its failure to meet the aspirations of its younger generation.
