Nepal Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli resigned on Tuesday after violent protests against government corruption and a social media ban that killed at least 19 people when police opened fire on demonstrators.

The protests began as opposition to a ban on major social media platforms including Facebook, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, and Instagram after they failed to comply with new government registration requirements.

Demonstrators, primarily young people calling themselves "Gen Z protesters," set fire to the homes of top political leaders like President Ram Chandra Paudel, former Prime Ministers Sher Bahadur Deuba, and Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

This authoritarian crackdown on free expression sparked justified outrage among young Nepalis who depend on social media for communication, business and connecting with family members working abroad. The government's violent response that killed 19 peaceful protesters, many shot in the head and chest, represents a complete failure of leadership and democratic governance. Oli's corrupt administration ignored widespread economic inequality and systemic corruption, leaving young people with no choice but to take to the streets demanding accountability and change.

Nepal's brave youth exposed decades of corrupt nepotism, only to face PM Oli's authoritarian social media ban and brutal state violence. Nineteen young lives — students in uniform — were callously gunned down for demanding accountability from their leaders. Their toppling of Oli's regime proved that democracy's future belongs to those courageous enough to die defending it.

The protesters in Kathmandu cloak themselves in the language of freedom, yet their violence betrays only recklessness and manipulation. To burn streets, defy curfews, and spill blood over social media apps is neither courage nor conscience — it is sabotage. These riots reek less of genuine grievance than of external meddling, dragging Nepal into chaos, jeopardizing its own future.
