Nepal is on edge after a nationwide social media ban triggered violent protests. Thousands took to the streets across major cities, furious over the government’s decision to block platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Protesters marched to Parliament in Kathmandu, where they clashed with police. The response was brutal—rubber bullets, tear gas, water cannons—and at least 19 protesters were killed. The ban followed new registration rules that tech platforms refused to comply with. Gen Z, the hardest hit, says their future is at stake. With political fallout already beginning, is Nepal heading into deeper unrest? Full report inside.
