Nepal Protests Over Social Media Ban Topple Prime Minister, Military Gains Control
Nepal has recently experienced significant political turmoil sparked by a government ban on 26 social media platforms, which was part of an attempt to increase governmental control over online content. The ban ignited massive protests and violent clashes resulting in over 30 deaths, the burning of key government buildings, and the ousting of the prime minister. The underlying issues fueling the unrest include high unemployment, economic disparity, and widespread youth dissatisfaction with political corruption and lack of opportunities. Young people, particularly a digitally connected Gen Z, played a pivotal role in the protests, demanding a new and accountable government, although their movement appears fragmented and uncertain about its political agenda. This crisis also highlights Nepal's complex geopolitical situation, with cultural ties to India and concerns about external influences from neighboring powers like China and Pakistan. Additionally, Nepali citizens have actively resisted Indian media narratives that attempt to undermine their sovereignty, asserting their independence and rejecting propaganda aimed at delegitimizing their youth-led movements and political demands.
