The prime minister of Nepal has resigned, and fleed on an army helicopter - probably abroad. Many other ministers have been evacuated. The parliament building, ministries, and all of the top political parties have been burnt down.
Submitted this because yesterday evening there was a post and many of you were concerned for Nepal.

Compare Serbia, where peaceful protests have been ongoing for some months - also against corruption.
Chudjak said he's not doing anything what the protestors want.

When the choice is a stream of inane fake news and viral sensationalist ragebait, or only government approved news.. I'm not entirely sure which is better?
I'm guessing probably the latter. At least you know it's bullshit and your neighbors aren't trying to murder some minorities or shooting up ivermectin or whatever
Hope Nepal comes out of this alright and more people don't get hurt. A collapse of the government (even a bad one) usually leads to nothing good.
I suppose it depends on how much you dislike your government.

You also suspiciously don't mention India's bullying making life miserable to people in Nepal while pushing propaganda.
I've loved Nepal and its people ever since I visited in the 80s. People never actually consider their religion as something more than an evolving culture. It was there, but always in the background often mixing with eachother, unlike being very forced in India or against in China.
It's bullying from both its neighbors that brought upon the situation it is in. But, I hope there's a smooth transition.
I do very much recommend people to travel once all this boils over. The food is great too but less options once you leave the city.
