Nepal Crisis: Gen Z Riots Force PM to Resign - Joe Blogs
Nepal has descended into violent protests led by Gen Z after the government banned social media and anger over corruption and youth unemployment spilled onto the streets. At least 22 people have died, parliament was stormed, and Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has resigned.

• Why Gen Z are so angry in Nepal
• The problems fueling unrest: corruption, youth unemployment, low wages, migration
• How the riots spiraled into chaos and forced the Prime Minister out
• What might happen next for Nepal’s fragile democracy
