Background of Recent Events in Nepal
Political instability had shaken Nepal in recent months. Large-scale protests were organized by Gen-Z youth against social media restrictions and alleged corruption. These protests gradually turned violent, resulting in the deaths of a significant number of youths due to police firing.
These events created widespread tension and increased public discontent in the country. Amidst this dissatisfaction, Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli resigned from his post. Subsequently, an interim government was formed in Nepal, and former Supreme Court Chief Justice Sushila Karki was appointed as the Prime Minister.
Public Reaction
Although Nepal recently witnessed violent protests, a new ray of hope has emerged among the public following the formation of the new cabinet. Youth and citizens believe that the country is now likely to achieve stability and that the government will be more proactive in listening to the voice of the people.
