Nepal, Bangladesh, Morocco, Madagascar: What have the Gen Z protests achieved?
Gen Z protests in Nepal, Bangladesh, Morocco, and Madagascar have achieved some successes, including the election of a young prime minister in Nepal. However, building a viable political alternative remains a challenge for these largely spontaneous movements, with some countries seeing established parties regain power.
Protests in Nepal, Bangladesh, Morocco, and Madagascar have led to significant changes. In Nepal, 35-year-old Balendra Shah became the youngest prime minister after the fall of the previous government. He has taken steps to address corruption and repression. In Bangladesh, students who overthrew the government in 2024 saw a new party win elections, but with many young candidates. The protests have brought attention to social justice issues, but establishing a lasting political presence remains difficult.
