The Rise of Nepal’s Youth Protest Movement
Nepal has witnessed a powerful wave of protests recently, sparked by frustration over political corruption and nepotism. The movement, largely driven by young people, targeted the influence of so-called ‘nepo kids’—the children of well-connected politicians and elites. These protesters demanded change, transparency, and an end to favoritism that has long affected Nepal’s political landscape.
Prime Minister Resigns Amid Pressure
The movement quickly gained momentum, with thousands taking to the streets in Kathmandu and other cities. Their unified voice pressured the government to respond and eventually led to the resignation of Nepal’s Prime Minister. Protesters celebrated this victory, but many insist that it marks just the beginning of a broader fight for genuine reform.
These events highlight how Nepal’s youth are demanding accountability and a new era in politics. The world is watching as they continue to call for a more just and equitable society.
