Nepal anti-corruption protests explained
Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has resigned amid anti-corruption protests following the deaths of 21 people in clashes with police. The protests, sparked by a social media ban that has since been withdrawn, have seen widespread unrest and violence, with demonstrators, many identifying as Gen Z, demanding an end to corruption among politicians. Youth collectives and students across major cities are leading the protests, calling for transparency and accountability from the government.
