September 8th marks the one-year anniversary of violent protests in Nepal, spearheaded by Generation Z, which led to the resignation of the then-prime minister. The unrest was initially sparked by the government’s attempt to shut down several major social media platforms due to non-compliance with new Nepalese regulations. One year later, Nepal continues to recover from the impact of devastating floods, adding to the country’s existing challenges. A review of the events leading up to the protests reveals a deep-seated frustration with corruption. The nation now faces ongoing difficulties as it navigates a path forward amidst economic hardship and political instability. The protests highlighted the significant force of youth activism and social media in Nepal’s political landscape. The long-term impact of this movement remains to be seen.
