Discord in Nepal
Nepal's youth took to the streets in protest against government corruption and nepotism, leading to the resignation of the prime minister and the selection of an interim leader through a Discord poll. The movement, known as the 'Gen Z Revolution', aimed to bring about a fairer and more accountable political leadership in the country.
Nepal's government has been plagued by corruption and nepotism for years. Last autumn, youths took to the streets in protest, demanding change. The protests turned violent, with 22 young protesters shot dead, and the prime minister resigned. An interim leader was chosen through a poll on Discord. The 'Gen Z Revolution' seeks to bring about a fairer and more accountable government. Nepal's economy has struggled, with over 50% of households experiencing food insecurity and 36% of children under five chronically malnourished. The country's richest 1% have 519 times more money than the poorest 50%. The movement aims to address these issues and create a better future for Nepal's citizens.
