Mass Demonstrations Shake Nepal: ‘Oli’s Arrogance Burned Away,’ Say Locals

International News: Nepal witnessed a political upheaval on Tuesday night when Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned under pressure from the ever-increasing protests. Both the public and experts are surprised by this sudden change. The reaction of the citizens was mixed—some expressed relief, while some expressed anger over the corruption and inaction that had been going on for years.

Mixed reactions from citizens

A local resident said, "Oli's resignation was certain. His government was completely disconnected from the public, and corruption was at its peak. Now the public hopes that there will be a change in the country."

At the same time, another said, "More than 42 cabinet ministers have already resigned. Law and order had broken down. There is a fear that the army may intervene soon."

Use of force and violence increased tension

Reports of use of force by security forces on protesters increased concern among citizens. A citizen said, "It is not acceptable that guns were fired on the protesters. But finally the Prime Minister resigned, which was necessary."

Youth and student movement took the lead

This movement mainly consisted of youth and students. Anger against the ban on social media and corruption intensified the movement. A protester said, "We set fire to the Parliament and the houses of corrupt leaders. It was now necessary to answer those who betrayed the country."

Gen-Z's new political power

Locals say that Gen-Z is now playing a decisive role in Nepal's politics. "Gen Z is constantly waking up. The next government will be under their influence. This is only the beginning," said a resident. Experts also believe that now the influence of the youth will decide the direction of the country's future.

Uncertain situation ahead

After the resignation of the prime minister, the political situation in Nepal is still uncertain. The security forces are alert, and the public is keeping an eye on the formation of the new government. Recent events have made it clear that now the youth and civil movements in Nepal have started having a real impact on power.
