Nepalese troops patrolled the streets of Kathmandu on Wednesday, when protesters tried to restore the order after provoking parliament and forced the Prime Minister to leave the worst violence to target the Himalayan nation in two decades.
Protests began on Monday in the Nepali capital on Monday against the government’s ban on social media and corruption, but anger and anger increased across the country, after which government buildings caught fire in government buildings after a claim of at least 19 lives.
The victims of the violence included former Prime Minister Jallanath Khanal’s wife, Rajesalikki Chitrakar, who died after the protesters allegedly set fire to their house.
The rapid revelation in the chaos surprised many people, and Nepal’s army warned of “activities leading to unrest and instability in the country of 30 million people in the country.”
The soldiers issued orders on the streets through loudspeakers, when tanks passed through the bodies of burned vehicles and tires.
The army warned Wednesday that attacks on attacks, looting, arson, or attacks on individuals and property in the name of protests would be considered a punishable offensive.
Manager Hansa Raj Pandey told Nepali media that the operation is expected to resume at 6:00 pm on Wednesday after Kathmandu airport.
An AFP reporter said on Wednesday that smoke was smashed by government buildings, politicians’ residences, supermarkets and other buildings, which were targeted by protesters.
Firefighters dispel the remaining cats, including the key media group in Katiipur on the tower block.
“It is silent today, the army is on the streets everywhere”, a soldier inspected cars at a temporary street post, which cannot be named because they did not have the option to talk to reporters.
The groups were attacked on Tuesday and set fire to the house of 73 -year -old, four -time Prime Minister and Communist Party leader, KP Sharma Oli.
He later withdrew from allowing “a political solution”. His whereabouts are not known.
‘Call it’
Nepalese Army Chief, General Ashok Raj Sigal, appealed to the talks in a video message released late Tuesday.
“We request all groups involved in the protest to provide a peaceful resolution to the nation,” he said.
The international crisis group has called it an important influxpoint in the country’s restless experience with democratic rule.
UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres has called for a “ban to avoid further increase of violence,” his spokesman Stephen Doojkar said in a statement.
“The stability, peace and prosperity of Nepal is of paramount importance to us,” said Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of the neighboring country.
It is not clear what happens after that.
Constitutional lawyer Dipinder Jha told AFP, “Demonstrators, leaders who trust him and the army should come together to pave the way for the caretaker government.”
“Interim arrangements will now need to be charted fast and these include data that still maintain credibility with Nepalese, especially with the youth of the country,” Crisis Group analyst Ashish Pardhan said.
But with the pace of the youth -led uprising, it is unclear who will be mobilized to take the country out of the political space.
According to the World Bank, according to official statistics, people aged 15-40 make up about 43 43 % of the population.
Several social media sites, including Facebook, YouTube and X, were blocked on Friday after the government reduced access to 26 unregistered platforms.
Since then, videos contradicting the struggle of ordinary Nepalese with politicians’ children have gone viral to incite luxury equipment and expensive holidays, which has not been blocked.
