Nepal Commemorates First Anniversary of Gen Z Protests That Toppled Government
Nepal marked the first anniversary of the Gen Z protests that led to the fall of former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's government. The protests, sparked by a social media ban and broader grievances like corruption and economic hardship, resulted in 76 deaths and the burning of key government buildings. Commemorations included memorial ceremonies and public holidays honoring the victims. While the current government led by Prime Minister Balendra Shah has initiated reforms, some protesters express mixed views on its effectiveness in fulfilling the movement's goals amid ongoing challenges.
