Kathmandu Burns: Youth Fury Over Social Media Ban, Nepotism Explodes Into Violent Protests

Massive protests have erupted across Nepal, particularly in Kathmandu, driven by the nation’s youth. While the immediate trigger was a government ban on social media platforms like TikTok, the dissent is rooted in long-standing grievances over corruption, nepotism, and a lack of good governance. The protests have turned violent, with demonstrators storming and setting fire to property, leading to clashes with security forces. Protestors are now demanding fresh elections to oust the current administration. A key demand from the youth and citizens is that authorities and coalition leaders responsible for the deaths of protestors "should be prosecuted, should be suspended and this would be brought into justice." The unrest signifies deep dissatisfaction with the political establishment.
