About the Protests in Nepal:

At least 19 people have died in widespread public protests in Nepal that led to the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. The protests erupted after the Nepal government shut down popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, X, and Reddit because social media users failed to register with the communication and information technology ministry by August 28.

Even though the government revoked the ban on social media on Monday night, protestors on Tuesday set fire to the Parliament, the President's Office, the PM's residence, the Supreme Court, political party offices, and homes of senior leaders.

Protesters also set fire to former prime minister Jhalanath Khanal's house, after which his wife succumbed to burn injuries. As the situation escalated, the Nepal Army announced that it was taking control of the country's security until further notice.
