Nepal Gen Z protests, Nepal social media ban: This was the first time the youth of Nepal, the 'GenZ', mobilised on the streets like this. While the social media ban is the immediate trigger, unrest has been simmering in Nepal for a while now. We explain the full picture​

Nepal Gen Z protest news: Fourteen people were killed in Nepal and many more injured after law enforcement agencies acted against protesters who had flooded the capital Kathmandu on Monday (September 8).

Thousands of young people, being termed ‘Gen Z protesters’, had gathered outside Parliament against the government’s ban on several social media platforms, with many in their school uniforms. Some entered the Parliament complex, after which the police baton-charged them. Large parts of Kathmandu are now under curfew.

This was the first time the youth of Nepal, the ‘GenZ’, mobilised on the streets like this. Organisers asked political parties and their youth wings to stay away.

While the social media ban is the immediate trigger, unrest has been simmering in Nepal for a while now.

The Nepal government last week banned 26 social media sites, including the Meta-owned Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, X, and YouTube, for not complying with an earlier order.

The Nepal government has sought to regulate big social media companies for more than a year, citing a rise in cyber crimes, fake news, and misleading content. Last month, armed with an order from Nepal’s top court, the government gave the companies a final deadline to register with the government, name a grievance handler, and agree to remove posts the government flagged. Those who did not register were banned.


Those who registered and escaped the ban are TikTok, Viber, WeTalk, Nimbuzz and Poppo Live, Reuters reported. TikTok had previously been banned in 2023 but allowed to resume after it reached an agreement with the government.


Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli on Sunday said his party was not against social media, “but what cannot be accepted is those doing business in Nepal, making money, and yet not complying with the law”, as quoted by PTI. The government has said the platforms can resume as soon as they comply with the orders.

Thing is majority of Indians like PM Modi as their Prime Minister. In his 11th year as ruling, his popularity rating never went below 70% even now. So in this scenario he will not be removed by mere protests since counter protests will be 10 times louder in any such attempt. Its not as if these things were not been tried before - Farmer protest, Greta Thurnberg, Shaheen Bagh, Delhi Riots, Award Wapase, Rising Intolerance....every avenue has been tried.

Modi is still the PM. So deal with it. He will only go when he gets old enough to rule.

Doubt that. Yes Oli was a old school communist and much closer to China than India and the US would've liked but neither Nepal nor he is important enough to orchestrate a mass protest for regime change. Plus I would think the Trump administration has enough on its hands with major conflicts to bother with this.

In my opinion, the simple problem was that he's an old-fashioned martinet out of touch with the young of the country. Of course, the tone deaf social media ban was a trigger but from what I read, the youth were pretty frustrated anyway and just needed a spark to light the fire. The usual stuff - lack of quality jobs forcing immigration, perceived corruption and nepotism that is common in developing countries.

Ex Nepal PM Jhalanath Khanal’s Wife Burned Alive in House Set Ablaze by Protesters

Violent anti-government protests in Nepal intensified this week, leading to widespread destruction, the resignation of top political figures, and the tragic death of a former prime minister’s wife. Sparked by a now-lifted ban on social media, the protests—largely led by Gen Z demonstrators—have turned into a sweeping movement against corruption and political privilege in the country.

Ex-PM’s Wife Dies After Home Torched

Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, the wife of former Nepal Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal, died on Tuesday after being severely injured in a fire allegedly started by protesters at their home in Dallu, Kathmandu. She was rushed to Kirtipur Burn Hospital, but succumbed to her injuries during treatment, family sources told local media.

According to initial reports, a group of protestors surrounded the residence and set it ablaze, trapping Ms. Chitrakar inside. Authorities have yet to issue a formal statement, but the incident marks a grim escalation in what is now being called one of Nepal’s most intense uprisings in recent memory.

Former Leaders Attacked, PM Resigns

In another shocking incident, demonstrators attacked former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his wife Arzu Rana Deuba at their residence. Videos shared on social media showed Deuba bleeding excessively, while his wife also appeared injured. Their house was among several political residences that were set on fire amid the unrest.

The situation deteriorated so rapidly that Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned on Tuesday. Protesters had earlier torched his private home in Bhaktapur, with viral footage showing demonstrators dancing in celebration as flames engulfed the property. “I am stepping down immediately,” Oli said, following calls for accountability over the violence and the controversial social media ban.

I googled and I can only see the 1 courtesy meeting in February 2024 but maybe there's more in local news that not picked up in international media.

If you're right and there's multiple connects between a city mayor and the US Ambassador, you're right it's pretty fishy. I would then guess a similar situation like in Pakistan i.e. Where the US State Department would give a green signal for a coup/power transition saying we won't stand in your way.

The brown communities being the 3M's: Madhesis, Marwadis, and Muslims, or simply who look indians, but are nepali citizens, wherein, the hate is the result of xenophobia for generations.

The rogue protestors, who in disguise of student protest, are actively threatening and attacking the brown people. There is an outcry on reddit comments and discord about killing them and particularly attacking them. Some of the businesses which belongs to the people in these communities has already been non recoverably burnt.

We would love any and every help from international organizations. Please share so this hate can be cut before it engulfs.

Thankyou."

Nepal parliament set on fire after PM resigns over anti-corruption protests

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has resigned amid Nepal's worst unrest in decades, as public anger mounts over the deaths of 19 anti-corruption protesters in clashes with police on Monday.

On Tuesday, crowds set fire to parliament in the capital Kathmandu, sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky. Government buildings and the houses of political leaders were attacked around the country.

Three more deaths were reported on Tuesday. Amid the chaos, jail officials said 900 inmates managed to escape from two prisons in Nepal's western districts.

The demonstrations were triggered by a ban on social media platforms. It was lifted on Monday - but by then protests had swelled into a mass movement.

Nepal's army chief issued a statement late on Tuesday accusing demonstrators of taking advantage of the current crisis by damaging, looting and setting fire to public and private property.

It said if unrest continued, "all security institutions, including the Nepal Army, are committed to taking control of the situation," effective from 22:00 local time (16:15 GMT; 17:15 BST), without detailing what this might entail.

While the prime minister has stepped down, it's not clear who will replace him - or what happens next, with seemingly no-one in charge. Some leaders, including ministers, have reportedly taken refuge with the security forces.

So far, the protesters have not spelt out their demands apart from rallying under the broader anti-corruption call. The protests appear spontaneous, with no organised leadership.

Inside parliament, there were jubilant scenes as hundreds of protesters danced and chanted slogans around a fire at the entrance to the building, many holding Nepal's flag.

Some entered inside the building, where all the windows have been smashed. Graffiti and anti-government messages have been spray painted on the exterior.

Kathmandu resident Muna Shreshta, 20, was among the large crowd outside parliament.

Corruption has been a long-term issue, she told the BBC, adding that it is "high time our nation, our prime minister, and anyone in power changes, because we need to change".

"It has happened now and we are more than happy to witness this and fight for this. I hope this change will bring something that is positive to us."

Ms Shreshta thinks taxes paid by working people need to be used in ways that will help the country grow.

Last week, Nepal's government ordered authorities to block 26 social media platforms for not complying with a deadline to register.

Platforms such as Instagram and Facebook have millions of users in Nepal, who rely on them for entertainment, news and business.

The government justified its ban in the name of tackling fake news, hate speech and online fraud.

But young people criticised the move as an attack on free speech.

Although the ban was hastily lifted on Monday night, the protests had already gained unstoppable momentum, targeting the political elite and plunging the nation into chaos.

A government minister said they lifted the ban after an emergency meeting late on Monday night to "address the demands of Gen Z".

In the weeks before the ban, a "nepo kid" campaign, spotlighting the lavish lifestyles of politicians' children and allegations of corruption, had taken off on social media.

Thousands of young people first attempted to storm the parliament building on Monday. Several districts were put under curfew. Most of the deaths occurred around parliament and government buildings on that day.

On Tuesday, protests continued unabated. A crowd in Kathmandu torched the headquarters of the Nepali Congress Party, which is part of the governing coalition, and the house of its leader, Sher Bahadur Deuba.

The house of KP Oli - a 73-year-old four-time prime minister who leads the Communist Party - was also set on fire.

He said he had resigned to pave the way for a constitutional solution to the current crisis.

"In view of the adverse situation in the country, I have resigned effective today to facilitate the solution to the problem and to help resolve it politically in accordance with the constitution," Oli wrote in his letter to President Ramchandra Paudel.

An aide to Paudel told Reuters news agency the president had accepted the resignation and begun the "process and discussions for a new leader".

Nepal protests 'hijacked', Gen Z claim, as army patrols the streets

Nepal's army has deployed patrols on the streets of Kathmandu, as the Himalayan nation reels from the worst unrest it has seen in decades.

Fierce protests against corruption and nepotism spiralled further on Tuesday into arson and violence. The prime minister resigned as politicians' homes were vandalised, government buildings were set ablaze and parliament was stormed and torched.

But the "Gen Z" groups spearheading the protests have distanced themselves from the destruction, saying the movement has been "hijacked by "opportunist" infiltrators.

On Wednesday the streets of the capital Kathmandu appeared calm, but smoke was still rising from burning buildings and charred vehicles lay on roads.

Nationwide curfews are in place until Thursday morning, the army has said, warning of punishment for anyone involved in violence and vandalism.

Twenty seven people have been arrested for their involvement in violence and lootings and 31 firearms have been found, it added.

The military is attempting to control a volatile situation, with PM KP Sharma Oli's resignation leaving a leadership vacuum.

His government's abortive attempt to ban social media triggered the demonstrations that saw 19 protesters killed in clashes with police on Monday.

Those deaths - which have since risen to more than 20 - only fuelled the unrest on Tuesday. Scenes of violence and vandalism have come to illustrate the visceral intensity of the anti-government demonstrations.

But many protesters are worried that the movement has been co-opted by "infiltrators".

Tuesday's protest "organised by Nepal's Generation Z, was conducted with a clear vision: to demand accountability, transparency, and an end to corruption," read a statement issued by protesters.

"Our movement was and remains non-violent and rooted in the principles of peaceful civic engagement."

The authors of the statement said they were actively volunteering on the ground to "responsibly manage" the situation, safeguard citizens and protect public property.

They also said no further protests were scheduled from Wednesday onwards, and called on the military and police to implement curfews as necessary.

"Our intent has never been to disrupt daily life or to allow others to misuse our peaceful initiative," the statement said.

The army too has alleged that various "individuals and anarchist groups" had infiltrated the protests and were damaging private and public property.

"We are mainly in the process of controlling elements who are taking advantage of the situation to loot, set fires and cause various incidents," military spokesman Rajaram Basnet told the BBC.

What led to the protests?

The demonstrations were ostensibly triggered by the government's decision last week to ban 26 social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook - but they have since grown to embody much deeper discontent with Nepal's political elite.

In the weeks before the ban, a "nepo kid" campaign, spotlighting the lavish lifestyles of politicians' children and allegations of corruption, had taken off on social media.

And while the social media ban was hastily lifted on Monday night, the protests had by that stage gained unstoppable momentum, plunging the nation into chaos.

On Tuesday, protests continued unabated. A crowd in Kathmandu torched the headquarters of the Nepali Congress Party, which is part of the governing coalition, and the house of its leader, Sher Bahadur Deuba, a former PM.

In the capital Kathmandu, several locations have been targeted by anti-corruption protesters since Monday.

Hundreds of protesters broke into and torched the country's parliament building, smashing windows and spray-painting graffiti and anti-corruption messages on the walls.

The Singha Durbar, a large complex in the city that houses Nepal's government offices, was also stormed, and the Supreme Court on Wednesday announced that it had postponed all hearings of pending cases indefinitely due to severe damage.

"Since the case files, servers, and the courtroom were severely damaged in the fire, the hearings scheduled for today have been postponed," said a notice issued by the Supreme Court's chief registrar.

"The hearings scheduled for tomorrow are also postponed until further notice."

On Tuesday afternoon, in a self-proclaimed bid to pave the way for a constitutional solution, Prime Minister Oli stepped down.

"In view of the adverse situation in the country, I have resigned effective today to facilitate the solution to the problem and to help resolve it politically in accordance with the constitution," Oli wrote in his letter to President Ramchandra Paudel.

But it's not clear who will replace him - or what happens next, with seemingly no-one in charge.

"Looking ahead, we believe Nepal's future leadership must be free from entrenched political party affiliations, fully independent, and selected on the basis of competence, integrity, and qualifications," the Gen Z protesters said in their statement on Tuesday.

"We demand a transparent and stable government that works in the interest of the people and not for the benefit of corrupt individuals or political elites," they added.

"Our goal remains firm: a proper government with qualified, non-corrupt leaders."

I'm not saying they shouldn't I'm saying why they can't.. I would love Indians to revolt against local MLAs and Municipal and get the local roads and paths made, but our priorities are screwed and so are institutions which have cases, power is skewed towards politicians that can get away with everyday corruption.

In Pakistan that institutional power of Army-ISI is 3x worse, the SC is compromised completely and less spoken about politicians the better, to break such shackles the genes need to be like those of Persian/Europe

I do empathize with Pakistani poor like I do with Indian poor too, structurally stuck between redtape of dimwit ppl in power.
