Protests triggered by the government's ban on 26 social media networks swept the country. After the ban was lifted, outrage over political corruption and the deaths of protesters led to a further escalation of the protest movement, as 19 people died in the clashes.

Government Reaction

The Nepalese government deployed troops to restore order, as the situation in the streets spiraled out of control. Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli announced his resignation, stating that this was a necessary step towards creating 'additional efforts towards a constitutional political resolution.'

“I resign from my position as Prime Minister, acting in accordance with Article 77(1)a of the Constitution,” he announced.

The authorities are still trying to control the situation after several days of unrest marked by frequent clashes and violence in the streets.

AFP The situation in Nepal remains tense. Protests arising from discontent over bans and political corruption demonstrate deep social and political rifts in society. The government's reaction and the consequences of these events could significantly shape the future political landscape of the country.
