Nepal Gen Z Protest: Why is Kathmandu burning?

A day after 19 young protesters were killed in firing by police in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital was engulfed in flames, and the country appeared to have no government left. PM K P Sharma Oli resigned, and President Ram Chandra Poudel was at an undisclosed location under the protection of the Army.

‘Gen Z’ protesters, enraged by the repressive actions of the K P Sharma Oli regime, set fire to government buildings, offices of major political parties, and the homes and offices of top political functionaries, including several former Prime Ministers on Tuesday.

Several Ministers and politicians were attacked and injured by protesters who defied a curfew and roamed the streets of Kathmandu and some other cities in Nepal. Military helicopters rescued members of the Oli cabinet and most others who were targeted.
