Nepal Crisis and Curfew in Kathmandu (India and Fragile Regional Nations)Kanako Mita, Sawako Utsumi, and Lee Jay WalkerModern Tokyo TimesAt least 30 people have been killed in crisis-hit Nepal following mass protests sparked by the government’s announcement of a social media ban. While they continue to voice their demands, the Gen Z protesters have publicly condemned the widespread violence and destruction, distancing themselves from the chaos unfolding in the streets. In recent years, regional instability has been underscored by developments in several neighboring countries—Bangladesh’s political unrest in 2024, Myanmar’s escalating volatility beyond its already turbulent history, and Sri Lanka’s economic and political crisis in 2022. This move signals that some politicians may now be open to compromise with the demands of the “Gen Z” protesters.
