Nepal Prime Minister Resigns

Amid violent protests in Nepal against the social media ban and corruption, Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli resigned. The protests began as an expression of youth anger but later turned violent, resulting in at least 19 deaths and over 300 injuries. The Nepalese government had banned 26 major social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, as they failed to comply with government registration requirements. Even after the ban was lifted, the protests continued, with young people launching a widespread movement against corruption and political discontent.
