Nepal Boils Over: Youth Defy Curfew, Call Government a “Murderous Regime” After Deadly Crackdown | ABP NEWS

Despite a strict curfew, thousands of protestors in Nepal, mainly youth aged 14 to 28, have once again taken to the streets, demanding justice, democracy, and accountability. The movement, which began as opposition to a social media ban, has now evolved into a full-blown revolution against corruption, nepotism, unemployment, and authoritarianism. Protestors are calling this a “modern-day genocide”, accusing Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli of ordering open fire on peaceful demonstrators. Many of those killed were teenagers. “This is not just about social media anymore,” said one protestor. “We are fighting for our future, for real democracy, for an independent judiciary, and for freedom of expression.” In yesterday’s violence alone, 19 protestors lost their lives, many of them shot directly in the head or chest. Hundreds more are critically injured. The streets of Kathmandu and other cities remain tense, but the resolve of the youth is growing stronger. “No, we will not stop. No, we will not go home,” said one young leader. “The current government has blood on its hands. We don’t want negotiations—we want a new system.”The message from Nepal’s youth is clear: This is just the beginning.
