Watch: Army patrols streets of Kathmandu after fierce protests

In Kathmandu, Nepal, the army has been deployed to patrol the streets following fierce protests against corruption and nepotism. The protests, which turned violent, have led to several casualties. Protesters are demanding reforms and accountability from the government, with a focus on issues such as corruption, political favoritism, and lack of economic opportunities. The government has responded by imposing curfews and restricting internet access in certain areas. The situation remains tense, with the army maintaining a strong presence on the streets. The protesters, made up of a diverse mix of citizens, are determined to continue their fight for change, despite the crackdown. The unrest in Kathmandu highlights the deep-seated issues facing Nepal, where a lack of progress in addressing corruption and inequality has fueled public frustration. The outcome of these protests could have significant implications for the country's political and social landscape.
