The "Gen Z" uprising in Nepal has triggered profound ramifications, reshaping the nation's political landscape. Immediately, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned after two days of violent unrest, signifying a major political fallout. His departure destabilised the coalition government, which teetered on the brink of collapse as several key ministers, including the Home Minister, stepped down, and major political parties threatened to withdraw support. The National Independent Party (NISP) went further, demanding the dissolution of Parliament and fresh elections, indicating a call for fundamental change.
Tragically, the protests exacted a high human cost, with at least 22 fatalities and over 300 injuries reported as security forces confronted demonstrators. The unrest escalated as government buildings were vandalized and Parliament partially set ablaze. Economic and infrastructural disruptions were also evident, including the closure of Tribhuvan International Airport due to security risks. While the initial social media ban was lifted, the protests exposed deep-seated youth dissatisfaction regarding corruption and economic inequality, leaving Nepal in a state of political uncertainty.
