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.
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.
