Nepal appointed Sushila Karki as its first female prime minister following violent demonstrations that claimed over fifty lives. President Ram Chandra Poudel administered the oath during a ceremony with youth representatives and diplomats present. The former Supreme Court chief justice from 2016 to 2017 must organize fresh elections within six months. Her appointment follows the resignation of the previous leader after deadly government crackdowns on protesters. UN agencies expressed support for her leadership during this transitional period.

Youth-led demonstrations erupted Monday over corruption, nepotism, and social media restrictions across the country. Security forces fired on crowds while protesters burned parliament buildings, courts, and government offices. Multiple jailbreaks occurred as demonstrators targeted schools, businesses, and media outlets throughout the unrest. The military assumed nationwide security control Tuesday and deployed troops across Kathmandu Valley. Movement restrictions helped stabilize the volatile situation after widespread destruction and casualties.
