“Armed soldiers have been patrolling the streets of Kathmandu, ordering people to remain in their homes, following a wave of deadly protests in Nepal’s capital. The Nepali army checked vehicles and people on Wednesday amid an indefinite curfew, imposed in a bid to ‘normalise’ the capital after mass unrest saw demonstrators set fire to several government buildings and force Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to resign. The protests, triggered by a social media ban, have escalated since Monday, when security forces killed 19 demonstrators and injured hundreds.” (09/10/25)
