Nepal in Flames: Youth-Led Protests Erupt as PM’s Residence is Set Ablaze and Government Resigns Kathmandu, September 9, 2025 – A sudden and dramatic surge of public anger erupted across Nepal today as Generation Z protesters targeted the private residence of Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli in Balkot, Bhaktapur. The home was set ablaze, signaling a broader breakdown in political trust and escalating civil unrest. From Censorship to Chaos: The Protest's Catalyst The unrest stems from the government's controversial ban on 26 major social media platforms—including Facebook, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok—on grounds of regulatory non-compliance. The move, seen by many as censorship, triggered widespread outrage. The Blaze: Symbol of Escalating Anger In the morning hours of September 9, demonstrators torched Oli’s private residence in Balkot, Bhaktapur. Simultaneously, other key political properties, including the residences of former prime ministers, ministers, and even the President, faced vandalism and arson. #nepal #nepalprotest #KPOli
