A social media ban, corruption and ‘Nepo Kids:’ What we know about the deadly protests that ousted Nepal’s leader

Nepali protesters, angered by a bloody crackdown, defied a police curfew and took over the streets of the capital Kathmandu on Tuesday, setting fire to the Supreme Court, parliament and other government buildings in the latest day of Gen Z-led protests that have toppled the Himalayan country’s prime minister.

Officials said at least 22 have people have been killed and hundreds wounded in the clashes in Kathmandu sparked by a government ban on social media platforms but driven by deep-rooted resentment at rampant corruption by the country’s political elite and a lack of economic opportunities for regular Nepalis.

Police used live ammunition, water cannons, and tear gas against the protesters, Reuters news agency reported. On Tuesday, smoke clouded the sky above the capital, photos by Reuters showed. The country’s main international airport shut because of the violence, according to a notice posted Tuesday afternoon. Later that evening, the Nepal Army sent troops into Kathmandu “to control the situation for the security of Nepal and Nepalis,” according to its chief.

Nepal, a Himalayan country of 30 million people, is known for its turbulent politics and has seen more than a dozen governments since it transitioned to a republic after abolishing its 239-year-old monarchy in 2008 following a decade-long civil war.

Still, the latest protests, which are led by people ages 13 to 28 – the cohort known as Generation Z – are Nepal’s worst unrest in decades.

Poland is even much much more stricter then SG when it come to immigration,  esp on the religion side.

I not sure how they cope with population growth, productivity, aging population when they dun allow ppl in.

But it seem they are doing very well.

Qns is why are Gurkha's from Nepal not allowed to work here but Gurkha's from India allowed to here ( And life long pension too from SG gov) 

Yes the Royalty had its own coup a decade back when a disgruntled prince shot the whole family down and then coupled with unfortunate earthquakes and govt changes with leftist backing infiltrating and disputes with India

...... was supposed to go for EBC in April next year (14 day trip and back by chopper)  ...... luckily not booked anything
