Nepal in Turmoil: Deadly Protests Over Social Media Ban Force Prime Minister’s Resignation

Nepal is facing its worst political crisis in years as violent protests erupt across Kathmandu and beyond. Nearly twenty people have been killed, the prime minister has resigned, and the army now patrols the streets under a strict curfew. The unrest began over a social media ban but has grown into a nationwide uprising fueled by anger at corruption, inequality, and decades of instability. With parliament stormed and flights suspended, Nepal stands at a crossroads—between dialogue and reform, or deeper chaos.
