Gen Z Protests in Nepal: A Leaderless Movement for Change
The recent protests in Nepal, driven by Gen Z activists, have led to significant political unrest, including the downfall of the K P Sharma Oli government. While the movement showcases a strong desire for change, it reveals a lack of cohesive leadership, with various individuals claiming representation without a unified voice. In contrast to the violence that marked the protests, some activists, like DJ Sudan Gurung, have emerged as community leaders focused on social responsibility and environmental issues. This juxtaposition highlights the complexities within the movement, indicating both a yearning for transformation and a struggle for direction amidst rising discontent and calls for accountability in governance.
