Nepal Gen Z Protests Erupt Over Corruption And Social Media Ban: See PICS

<p>Nepal has been gripped by massive youth-led demonstrations, dubbed the ‘Gen Z protests,’ after the government banned 26 social media platforms on September 4, 2025.

<p>The images from Kathmandu capture the intensity of the Gen Z protests, streets filled with thousands of young demonstrators holding placards, chanting against corruption, and waving symbolic flags.</p>
