Kathmandu, September 10 — Nepal is facing its most volatile political crisis in years as mass anti-government protests continue to escalate. After two days of violent clashes that left at least 25 people dead and more than 600 injured, soldiers have been deployed to guard the parliament building and patrol the streets of the capital.
Authorities have imposed a strict curfew in Kathmandu, leaving the usually bustling city nearly deserted. Protesters, however, remain determined, demanding the resignation of key government officials and the appointment of a transitional leader, reportedly a former Supreme Court chief justice.
Political analysts warn that the unrest could reshape Nepal’s political landscape for years to come, as opposition groups gain momentum and government institutions struggle to maintain order. Negotiations between protest leaders and government representatives are expected in the coming days, but tensions remain high.
