There will probably be an interim government headed by a 'populist' leader who is currently the mayor of Kathmandu Municipality. At least thats what people are demanding. 'populist' in a sense like someone running in platform of change and improvement, not related to current establishment and is an independent candidate. and has done a lot of good so is very popular in the capital city.
The government's top brass has all been purged with no one left to take power. What should we focus on to prevent the same cycle of liberal governance -> move to right -> revolution once again?
There was no organization and leadership in the current protest, everything was spontaneous so felt like it would be an easy target for bad actors to take over the current momentum.
so any advice and recommendation of materials on moment after 'revolution' ? also the problem, limitation and enemies we face. Only the political leadership has been over-thrown but the ruling class still control the economic power. I guess only their investment in the political candidates are down the drain.
This comment keeps coming up and its really obnoxious. They didn't burn down buildings because they couldn't watch Youtube shorts. Look into the amount of embezzlement and corruption scandals the govt has been involved in.
Check the amount of businesses that dont have their own websites and use social media to do their daily work. The trekking companies and regular people that all rely on WhatsApp to communicate. It's not like Nepal has built their own alternatives like China.
Look at the state of their public infrastructure where main roads within Kathmandu still aren't even paved and go to shit every monsoon.
Where there are people living in houses with concrete floors and tin roofs 5 minutes away from people in their 4 story houses.
Look at the children of the current politicians who are flaunting their wealth on social media. Wealth gained from stolen funds.
It doesn't matter that the govt was ML in name if they weren't doing their jobs.
