Nepal parliament set on fire after PM resigns over anti-corruption protests

Nepal's Prime Minister, KP Sharma Oli, has resigned amid widespread anti-corruption protests that have gripped the country. The protests, which have seen at least 22 deaths, were sparked by Oli's perceived failure to address corruption and economic challenges. The resignation came after the Nepalese parliament was set on fire during the ongoing demonstrations. The unrest is described as the worst the country has experienced in decades. Oli's decision to step down follows months of political turmoil and protests over his leadership. The protesters have accused the prime minister of nepotism, cronyism, and mismanaging the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resignation has created a power vacuum in Nepal, with the country's political future now uncertain. The situation remains fluid, with the potential for further unrest and instability in the days and weeks ahead.
