On the 9th of September 2025, tens of thousands of Nepalese people, led by Gen-Z students, took to the streets in anger against the establishment government. They stormed the Nepalese Federal Parliament building in Kathmandu and set it on fire. As of latest reports, sixty protestors, ten prisoners and three police officers died during the demonstrations. Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli of the ruling Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) was forced to resign. Later, over 100,000 youth took to Discord to elect former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as interim Prime Minister, becoming the first woman head of state in Nepal.
So, what are the root causes of this uprising? And what does it mean for the future of Nepal? In this episode, we speak with Atul Chandra, Researcher, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
