Nepal"s Prime Minister has resigned and fled the country amid escalating protests that have seen demonstrators burn down his residence. The unrest erupted following widespread dissatisfaction with the government"s handling of the economy and increasing inflation rates.
Protesters took to the streets of Kathmandu on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, after the Prime Minister announced his resignation in a televised address. The announcement came just hours after violent clashes broke out, leading to the destruction of his home. Demonstrators also targeted the Finance Minister, who was chased through the streets and reportedly thrown into a river by an angry mob.
This wave of protests follows a series of economic crises in Nepal, including soaring prices for essential goods and fuel, which have left many citizens struggling to make ends meet. As previously reported, a recent social media ban has further fueled public outrage, leading to what some have termed a "youth uprising" in the nation.
The situation remains volatile, with many citizens demanding accountability and immediate reforms. As the political landscape shifts dramatically, the international community watches closely for further developments in Nepal"s ongoing turmoil.
