Today my heart is heavy. I usually stay away from news and events but when something happens back in your home country, you kee an eye out. The government of Nepal has today reached a new low and although I did see it coming, I had hoped that it would not be this bad.

Gen Z had organized a massive nation wide protest today against the pervasive corruption in all levels of Government offices. Following the Phillipines' social media trend, videos show casing the lavish lifestyle of politicians' kids started trending alongside the sad reality of most civilians. This was slowly churning years of silent injustice and people started sharing more and more of these videos. In response, the government banned all social media platforms, except tiktok under the guise of needing local registration.

Cut to today, the peaceful protest turned to a shooting ground and young adults were killed in the street for wanting accountability from their government. Rest in peace dear brothers and sisters!
