Nepal is witnessing massive public anger as citizens rise against corruption and restrictions on free speech. The government’s decision to impose a ban on social media platforms to silence dissent has backfired, sparking widespread protests across the country. Furious demonstrators chased elected leaders through the streets, forcing Prime Minister K.P. Oli to reportedly flee to Dubai.
Observers note that the situation mirrors last year’s events in Bangladesh, where intense public uprisings led to the downfall of Sheikh Hasina’s government. Amid mass anger and accusations of corruption, she fled the country and sought refuge in India.
The developments in Nepal highlight how quickly public frustration can topple governments when people feel suppressed and unheard. Analysts warn that the region is entering a volatile phase, with democracy and governance being tested by waves of public uprisings driven by demands for accountability and freedom.
