The world is completely unstable right now.
Nepal’s prime minister resigned after receiving massive backlash from protesters for implementing a social media ban.
Videos on social media show thousands of disgruntled Nepali protesters gathered in the streets protesting Nepal’s government and even burning down several Communist headquarters.
Here are some of the scenes:

NBC News reported more on the uprising:
Nepali Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli resigned Tuesday, Reuters reported, after days of mass protests over a social media ban and official corruption in the Himalayan nation culminated in the torching of top leaders’ homes as well as the Parliament building.
The country’s main airport in Kathmandu, the capital, was also closed amid security concerns as so-called Gen-Z protesters in multiple cities defied an indefinite curfew and clashed with police. On Monday, at least 19 people were killed when police opened fire on the crowd during a mass demonstration that included an attack on Parliament.

A spokesperson for Tribhuvan International Airport told NBC News that most flights still in the air were being diverted.“There is a lot of smoke in the vicinity of the airport,” the spokesperson said.
Videos shared on social media and verified by NBC News showed the parliament building burning on Tuesday.
The houses set on fire by the demonstrators included those of Sher Bahadur Deuba, leader of the largest party Nepali Congress, President Ram Chandra Poudel, Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, according to The Associated Press. Local media reported that the army was evacuating ministers from their residences using helicopters.
Government officials in Nepal are being hunted down—chased, stripped, and beaten in broad daylight.

A former politician’s wife was burned alive according to Newsweek:
The wife of former prime minister of Nepal Jhala Nath Khanal has died after she was burned alive when her home was set on fire amid violent anti-government protests in the country, regional media reported.
The Nepalese parliament building and the homes of political leaders were torched in the unrest, which has plunged the Himalayan state into a full-blown crisis.
ADVERTISEMENTThe protests are led by younger people and burst open when the government banned social media, though deeper anger about political corruption and a lack of opportunities is the primary driver of the disorder.
