Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

After yesterday's display, the protestors, more numerous than yesterday, have become radicalized to the point of raiding the houses of the ministers associated with the three big parties and set fire to them. Some of the buildings that have been torched:

  • The parliament building
  • Fomer PM Deuba's residence, the school associated with his wife, a hotel owned by his son, his party's (Congress) headquarters
  • Former PM Dahal's residence and his party's (CPN MC) headquarters.
  • PM Oli's three houses
  • President Paudel's residence
  • Home Minister Lekhak's residence
  • Vice president of CPN UML's residence
  • Finance Minister's residence
  • Multiple minor party buildings and police stations across the country

Nepal is located between India and China. India has just moved closer to China dashing western hopes of pitting them against each other for the moment. The strategic value of controlling it for the US is sky high.
