Nepal faces a severe political crisis as youth-led Gen Z protests escalate, resulting in Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli's resignation. Demonstrations, fueled by frustration over inequality and corruption.

Nepal was plunged into political uncertainty after its prime minister resigned on Tuesday following widespread anti-corruption protests, triggered by a social media ban, that killed at least 19 people.

Armed soldiers guarded the streets of Nepal’s capital Wednesday, ordering people to stay home in an attempt to restore order after tens of thousands of protesters stormed and set fire to government buildings and attacked politicians.

A Gen Z-led social media movement against the lavish lifestyles of “Nepo Kids” led to the ousting of a Prime Minister and the deadly deadliest social unrest Nepal has seen in years.

Nepal's "Gen Z" protesters backed the country's first female chief justice to temporarily lead the troubled nation and called for parliament to be dissolved on Thursday, two days after angry demonstrations killed 34 and forced the prime minister to quit.
