Kathmandu is ablaze. A day after police bullets killed 19 protesters, furious Gen Z demonstrators stormed the capital, torching parliament, party offices, Supreme Court, police stations, and even homes of ex-prime ministers.
Helicopters rushed politicians to safety as chaos shut down Kathmandu’s airport. What began as outrage over a social media ban has exploded into a historic anti-corruption uprising — echoing the youth-led revolts of Bangladesh (2024) and Sri Lanka (2022).
With the old guard in retreat, all eyes turn to Kathmandu Mayor Balendra “Balen” Shah, the rapper-engineer hailed online as the people’s next leader.
