A bunch of protests led by gen z Nepalese people against their government? What could have happened that had upset tons of Nepalese young adults, children, even adults? The answer to that would be a social media ban.
Although it might sound like regular, peaceful protests are going on, there is a lot more to the ongoing issue. One protest quickly became disastrous and violent. The whole issue comes to show how determined people are to achieve reform, and it is far more important than something like kids protesting for no homework just because they want more time to play video games, because in this case, the youth of Nepal want change in the Nepalese government and how their country is run.
The protests began around early September of this year. When the protests got out of control, people would set buildings on fire, fight each other, and cause chaos. The Nepalese youth and people in general were upset with the government, after years of corruption and decisions that frustrated the people, like the social media ban. That is what caused the destruction of government and public streets, along with angering the public more.
This issue in Nepal had become more violent than most would think. What was supposed to be a peaceful protest had turned out many be terribly harmed. As displayed in the photo above, fires like that would occur not only in the big building, but in other streets of Nepal, harming many. When it comes to protesting against the government, the people of Nepal want it now because the situation has escalated quickly. People were going against each other and fights happened and fires, like the one above, happened, which reveals that the protests led by the youth of Nepal, was not just a small issue.
It needed immediate change and recognition. The people needed support, and after it became disastrous, the uprising of the youths’ protests became a popular topic around the world.
Now, people around the world are also waiting for answers and reform from the Nepalese government.
