Youth activists in Nepal, who participated in violent protests that began September 8, are expressing regret and anger over the interim government's perceived lack of progress. The demonstrations, which resulted in 76 deaths and over 2,300 injuries, led to the appointment of Prime Minister Sushila Karki and promised fresh elections. However, participants like Mukesh Awasti, who lost a leg, feel their sacrifices were in vain as corruption persists and those responsible for violence have not been held accountable.
