Gen-Z protesters have once again taken to the streets of Nepal, demanding the resignation of interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki. On Sunday (14 September) night, demonstrators gathered in front of the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar, Kathmandu.

The protest was led by youth icon Sudan Gurung, who accused the government of ignoring young activists while appointing key cabinet members. Gurung argued that Karki rose to power due to their movement, yet the youth were sidelined in crucial decisions. Families of those killed and injured in earlier demonstrations also joined the protest, calling for swift justice.

Gurung issued a stern warning, saying the movement would escalate unless their concerns were addressed: “We can remove this government the same way we brought it in.”

Tensions have intensified over the appointment of Om Prakash Aryal as Home Minister, with protesters alleging he maneuvered politically to secure the role. Given the ministry’s link to law and order, the decision has drawn public criticism.

Karki, Nepal’s first female interim prime minister, was appointed under pressure from the Gen-Z movement. Upon taking office, she dissolved parliament and announced fresh elections while assigning cabinet portfolios — Aryal to Home and Law, Rameshwar Khanal to Finance, and Kulman Ghising to Energy. These appointments, however, have fueled widespread discontent among young activists.

Political analysts warn that if the standoff between the Gen-Z movement and the interim government remains unresolved, Nepal’s politics could face further instability. Experts stress that dialogue and compromise are the only viable paths to stability.

At least 53 Palestinians were killed in Gaza in a single day as Israel continued its airstrikes, with 35 deaths reported in Gaza City alone on Sunday, September 14. According to Al Jazeera, 16 buildings, including three residential towers, were destroyed in the attacks.

The Gaza Health Ministry confirmed that two of the victims were children who died from malnutrition, raising the death toll from hunger and famine during the ongoing war to 422.

In the southern Rimal neighborhood, Israeli forces repeatedly struck the Al-Kawsar Tower, reducing it to rubble within two hours. Continuous bombardment has forced thousands to flee their homes.

The United Nations warned that Israel’s offensive in Gaza City could displace nearly one million Palestinians. Between August 14 and 31 alone, more than 82,000 people were forcibly displaced, including 30,000 moved from the north to the south.

UNICEF has sounded the alarm that by mid-2026, around 132,000 children under five will be at risk of death from severe malnutrition, with a total of 320,000 children facing acute hunger. The agency stressed that famine is spreading fast and children urgently need humanitarian aid and specialized nutrition supplies.

Akhilesh Yadav, former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and leader of the Samajwadi Party, has warned that continued electoral malpractice in India could trigger mass protests similar to those seen in Nepal and Bangladesh.

Speaking at a press conference in Lucknow, Yadav pointed to the recent unrest in Nepal that left over 50 people dead and caused widespread damage to government property. He also recalled the fall of the Hasina government in Bangladesh following the quota reform movement, saying India could face a similar scenario if “vote theft” persists.

Questioning the BJP’s victory in the recent Ayodhya by-election, Yadav alleged that thousands of outsiders were brought in to vote. He urged the Election Commission to uphold neutrality and follow Supreme Court directives, warning it must not become “a temporary tool of the BJP.
