Kathmandu, Nepal – Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned on September 9, 2025, following deadly protests led by Generation Z that left 18 dead and 250 injured. The unrest erupted over a government ban on 26 social media platforms, including Facebook and X, sparking outrage among youth who rely on these for communication and livelihoods. Despite lifting the ban after Monday’s violence, protests continued, with demonstrators torching leaders’ residences and demanding action against corruption.
Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and Agriculture Minister Ram Nath Adhikari also resigned, citing moral responsibility. Oli blamed “ambiguity” for the clashes and announced a probe committee. The UN and foreign embassies condemned the police’s use of lethal force.
