Since 8 September, Nepal has been rocked by youth-led protests triggered by anger over alleged corruption and a brief social media ban.

I should send this to our friend from Nepal. Somewhere that I would like to visit someday as well.
Last (only) time I was there was in 1976. Kathmandu looks to be a much bigger, busier, more modern place now. Good piece of reporting…under pressure, including baptism by tear gas. Corrupt governments that start killing their people, beware…Gen Zs may not tolerate it.
