Nepal PM, President's Houses Set On Fire As Protests Spiral

Massive protests in Nepal today pushed the KP Sharma Oli government to the brink as Gen Z protesters took to arson and vandalism in various parts of the tiny Himalayan nation. The protests have escalated a day after the Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli revoked a ban on social media, a key trigger for the nationwide protests, to address the "demand of Gen-Z".

Protesters set fire to the private residences of President Ram Chandra Poudel and Prime Minister Oli. Videos emerged on social media showing demonstrators roaming through the President's house and vandalising it. Houses of former Nepali Prime Ministers Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda and Sher Bahadur Deuba, and Energy Minister Deepak Khadka were also damaged by protestors.
