In Nepal, beginning on September 8th, there were multiple protests mostly led by Generation Z. These protests began because the Nepal government banned 26 different major social media apps. The Nepal government claimed they banned these apps because they failed to comply with new regulations. However, most people viewed it as an attempt to subdue the rising political dissent in the country. Just weeks before this ban, a media campaign began on TikTok. This campaign highlighted the luxury lifestyle of politicians’ children and compared them to the poor in Nepal. The protesters criticized the rich because they were showing off their luxurious belongings even though so many Nepali citizens were struggling to survive. The Nepali youths were also angered by the multiple cases of corruption within their government that were not investigated or prosecuted. In early 2025, the Nepali Parliament discovered that 71 million dollars were embezzled during the construction of the Pokhara airport. While it was recommended that there be further investigation, nobody was charged. Many Nepal officers and politicians were involved in the embezzlement case and were not punished. Furthermore, the unemployment rate was over 20% in 2024 for ages 15–24. Many younger people had to leave the country in order to find a job. All these factors led to protests at the federal parliament building in Kathmandu. Protests quickly turned violent when demonstrators started to climb over the gate to reach the parliament building. Nepali police used tear gas, water cannons, and live ammunition. 63 people have died, including 60 protesters and 3 police officers. Multiple government officials resigned after learning about the violence that occurred during the demonstrations. The officials include Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli and 3 other cabinet members. Now Nepal has to pick an interim prime minister. Hami Nepal, the group that was in charge of the protests, chose to discuss this matter on the instant messaging platform known as Discord. Almost 10,000 Nepali citizens participated in the decision. After hours of debate, Sushila Karki, the former Supreme Court chief justice, was selected to serve as the interim prime minister. She was the first woman to be elected to this position and will now be the first woman to serve as prime minister of Nepal. She is widely respected in Nepal because of her strict stance against corruption. However, even with a new prime minister, tensions are still high in Nepal. Multiple government ministers were forced into army barracks. Karki will stay in her role as prime minister until the elections that will take place on March 5, 2026. The protests in Nepal show us that young people can in fact make a change in the world.
