Demonstrators in Kathmandu have defied a curfew and broken into and set fire to the parliament building. They had earlier stormed the office of the Nepali Congress, the country’s largest party, and several prominent politicians’ residences.
Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli stepped down on Tuesday amid escalating anticorruption protests. The resignation came a day after 19 people were killed by security forces in violent demonstrations sparked by a social media ban.
Exuberant young people flooded the parliament complex upon hearing the news, waving their hands and shouting slogans as smoke billowed from parts of the building.
It helps that the country is small enough for substantial amount of the population to be able to go there
it’s the exact opposite. the helpful thing is if you don’t need a substantial portion of the entire population to be at a protest to get anything done. it’s much harder to halt the entire society for a protest than having so many people that .1% of the population would still be a scary crowd.
Americans: eh, too inconvenient. We’ll just make strongly worded signs and protest peacefully, then go home in time to show off on social media.
Trump would love a reason to justify sending more troops into our cities. Take a look at our military spending compared to the rest of the world below.
That’s the spark he needs to really take over, where as right now he is struggling to keep his base frothing.
What’s wild is the American protesters are what… 0.06 % of Americans… We are all going to hell… There will be more suicide bombers and ayatollah in heaven than Americans.
Americans are worthless. That’s not something I want to say or admit but Americans can’t even hide it… the president leads them by their pussy. Honestly obtain tuns and hope you don’t get slaughter because truth be told they already own us completely. Americans are practically farmed animals.
