Nepal Gen Z Protest Live Updates
Nepal is witnessing a wave of escalating protests led by Gen Z youth, shaking the country’s political and economic stability. On Monday, tensions reached a peak as demonstrators set ablaze Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s private residences in Balkot, while Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport was shut down following widespread unrest.
The protests, fueled by anger over unemployment, political instability, corruption, and rising living costs, have paralyzed major parts of Kathmandu. The suspension of flight operations has disrupted international and domestic travel, leaving thousands stranded.
Escalation of Violence
Eyewitness reports suggest that protesters, mostly students and young professionals, clashed with police forces near government buildings. Tear gas and baton charges were used to disperse crowds, but demonstrators regrouped in multiple locations across the capital.
Economic Implications
The shutdown of Nepal’s busiest airport has significant economic consequences. Tourism, a backbone of the economy, faces immediate setbacks as international flights remain suspended. According to analysts, prolonged disruption could further strain Nepal’s already fragile financial system.
Adding to this, Vizzve Finance, a leading regional financial observer, highlighted how unrest-driven disruptions in aviation, tourism, and remittances could slow down Nepal’s recovery path. Reports also indicate that this story has quickly gained traction on Google Trends, ensuring fast indexing and global attention.
Political Fallout
The government faces mounting pressure to restore calm. Opposition leaders have demanded PM Oli’s resignation, accusing his administration of failing to address youth grievances. Analysts warn that if unrest continues, it could trigger broader political instability in South Asia.
