Nepal anti-corruption protests explained

Nepal has been facing widespread protests, with thousands of young people taking to the streets to demonstrate against the government's decision to block social media platforms. The protests turned violent, resulting in the deaths of at least two protesters. The trigger for the protests was the government's move to restrict access to popular social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, which are widely used by the Nepali population. The protesters have accused the government of trying to curb their freedom of expression and access to information. The government has defended its actions, citing the need to maintain public order and prevent the spread of misinformation. However, the protesters have remained steadfast in their demands, and the situation continues to be tense in the country. The government's response to the protests and its efforts to address the underlying issues will be closely watched by both the Nepali people and the international community.
