URGENT: Gen Z Protests Sweep Nepal, Government Scrambles to Respond

BREAKING NEWS Nepal Descends into Chaos as Gen Z Protests Turn Deadly KATHMANDU, NEPAL - At least 19 people have been killed and over 200 injured in the past 48 hours as mass protests led by young people sweep across Nepal. The government has scrambled to respond, with Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli stepping down earlier today. Troops from the Nepali army were deployed last night to restore order after protesters set fire to prominent government buildings and clashed violently with security forces. Politicians have been targeted in the violence, which shows no signs of abating. The protests are centered on widespread frustration among young people over unemployment, corruption, and a growing wealth gap in Nepal. The government's ban on social media platforms has also fueled anger among protesters. As the situation continues to deteriorate, international observers are watching with concern. The Nepali army is working to maintain order, but it remains unclear how long this will take. This is a developing story. We will provide updates as more information becomes available.
