Nepal Teeters on Brink of Chaos as PM and President Resign Amid Gen-Z Protests

Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and President Ram Chandra Poudel tendered their resignations amidst escalating protests by Nepal's Gen-Z population, who took to the streets in defiance of corruption, unemployment, and a revoked social media ban. As the country teeters on the brink of chaos, the Nepalese Army has been warned to prepare for potential deployment.

The country's politics has been shaped by the intricate dance of alliances between India, China, and the United States, each seeking to exert influence over the small nation's fate.
