🇳🇵Mass protests exploded in Nepal after the government banned major social media platforms. Demonstrators stormed parliament in Kathmandu, tearing through police barricades. At least 16 protesters have been killed so far. 🇳🇵

Police unleashed a violent crackdown, firing rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons at protesters. Hospitals are overwhelmed with dozens of injured, many shot in the head and chest.

The uprising is driven by Nepal’s Gen Z. Echoing 🇮🇩 Indonesia’s recent revolt, protesters picked up the iconic Jolly Roger flag from the anime One Piece, turning it into a new symbol of youth resistance.

Thousands of students in school uniforms filled Kathmandu’s streets with chants against corruption and censorship. Their signs read: “Unban social media” and “Shut down corruption, not free speech.”

The government claims the ban targets fraud and fake news. Protesters say it’s censorship aimed at silencing dissent.

Nepal lies at one of the world's most geopolitically sensitive junctions, sandwiched between two giants—India to the south and China to the north. It maintains balanced relations with most major powers, is crucial to China's Belt and Road Initiative, is one of India's largest trading partners, but also has military ties with the United States.

This is a CLASS WAR you're seeing unfold all across the world 🌍
