Himalayan nation in turmoil

Nepal, that beautiful country nestled in the Himalayas, home to the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest — God's greatest gift to the Nepalese people — is today engulfed in its worst political unrest in years.

- JOSE DE VENECIA JR.

Triggered by a controversial social media ban and deep-rooted anger over corruption, Gen Z-led protests have exploded into violent uprisings that forced Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli to resign. In a matter of days, demonstrators stormed government offices, parliament, and private residences of top leaders. The homes of at least five former prime ministers, including Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, Sher Bahadur Deuba, Madhav Nepal, and Jhalanath Khanal, were torched. Tragically, Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, the wife of former Prime Minister Khanal, perished from burn injuries when their Kathmandu house was set ablaze.
