The government of Nepal was toppled this morning
The Prime Minister of Nepal announced his resignation following a wave of protests by young Nepalis (mostly teenagers up to age 23).
This morning, the protesters set fire to the parliament building and the residence of the Prime Minister of Nepal and his ministers – they were evacuated by helicopter.
The protests broke out against a backdrop of corruption, economic problems, and a decision that enraged the young masses: blocking access to social networks.
The government reversed its decision to block social networks, but it was already too late.
About 20 people have been killed during the protests in recent weeks by fire from the Nepali security forces – something that further intensified the protest.
