Nepal's Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli resigned amid escalating anti-corruption protests, marking one of the country’s worst political crises in decades. The unrest, led largely by Gen Z demonstrators, erupted after Oli’s government imposed a controversial social media ban, triggering nationwide outrage. Nineteen people died and over 100 were injured as police clashed with protesters defying an indefinite curfew. Despite lifting the ban, protests intensified, forcing Oli, 73, to step down just over a year into his fourth term. His resignation comes as the nation grapples with deep political instability and economic frustration. Protesters continue to demand accountability, accusing leaders of failing to address corruption and joblessness. The president has begun the search for a new leader as demonstrations, often captured live on mobile phones, spread across the country.
