Nepal has been gripped by renewed unrest as economic hardship, unemployment, and uncertainty over young people’s futures spark widespread protests. Over the past three days, three young men attempted self-immolation, resulting in two deaths and one person critically injured. Demonstrations have spread across the country, with protesters demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Balendra Shah. The main opposition Nepali Congress accused the government of failing to restore youth confidence or take effective action for their future.
Youth organization Gen-Z Nepal alleged that the government is running the country with an authoritarian mindset, ignoring public welfare. The group said there are no realistic measures in the budget or policies to create jobs, raise incomes, or ensure economic security for young people. The 2023 self-immolation of Prem Acharya has resurfaced in public discussion, as Shah, then Kathmandu mayor, had called it a symbol of state failure. His current silence has drawn criticism from opposition parties and protesters.
Analysts warned that the crisis has deepened concerns over youth mental health, unemployment, and policy effectiveness, urging swift government action to prevent further deterioration.
