within two days of the formation of the government, the same group has started demanding the resignation of the newly appointed Prime Minister Sushil Karki, saying that she has not paid due attention to the treatment and compensation of the families of the martyrs and the injured.

Things are really murky on that. I do not know where it even originates from but it could be miss-information. Not really worth going into all that anymore, he has somehow turn most people wary of him after that stated being spread on social media.

Anyway things looking fine here. The pro-US government got oustead and the new government is also 'liberal' but more left than the Marxist-leninist party somehow.

No left really put their hope in a spontaneous horizontal movement with no leadership but it has helped release the pressure building in Nepal I guess.

Instead of being a unique event, it might just be one of the first. All the 'strange event' are just the things we noticed from previous color revolution. But that does not make those revolution any 'less' revolution for the people. People from surrounding countries being inspired and imitating such revolution is not really surprising event.

Using instagram to organize, discord to discuss and Facebook to share also seem less weird if looking from the perspective of Gen z. They are using the tools available to them to achieve their goal, unaware about the dangers inherent to such tools.

Nepal Army might have been the only capable institution and the only one to suffer no damage. They were and are the most respected institution even now.

Executive, Legislative and Judiciary structure all were target to some extend. So military was forced to intervene and could have absolutely taken power (on pretense of temporary solution) but instead immediately approached the disorganized masses to ask for our representative. That was a major reason for the quick formation of a unified front since we had one day to present our representative. The use of discord was also for same reason. Everything was moving very fast and we used tools that were immediately available to us

There are not really reliable sources available, even the Nepali media feels off

I only trust news from three sources for now

  1. Nepal Army
  2. Gen-Z movement official channel (fb, insta, discord)
  3. RONB - fb page

There are steps being planned to get off discord. The lightning fast development had prevented any immediate influence from foreign power but the flood of bot account has started. Now all invite links are temporarily disabled and just the current insulated server should be fine for a while.

Yes I also hope for the best here, but just being some form of inspiration for youth worldwide is fine for me.

Getting co-opted by NGOs and turning into pro-western, liberal state is not really a downgrade from before since that was the situation before the revolution.

Nepal has been a playing field for US and India, and with the increasing influence of US (accepting MCC by govt) things were bound to explode.

Every surrounding counties are getting unstable, and just being done with whole thing feels peaceful now. the government being. overthrown by people's movement is such a relief since the alternative movement was going to be pro-Monarchy. there is a hope for left now, a leftist revolution overthrowing the 'Nepal Communist Party - United Marxist-Leninist' was just not possible.

Yeah but it is difficult to find anyone who do not have any direct affiliation to the big parties, capacity to bring stability, conduct election and then be disallowed from running in that election.

It is not like there aren't any of them but their affiliation with existing party (even principle communist) will be viewed with suspicion for now. Example - current MP from Juche party is also good, but they should be focusing on the formation of next government instead of the current interim one.

it was on the verge of collapse, i had to listen in from youtube. People were live streaming the talk in other platforms which got more viewers than discord chat
