Nepal Gen Z Protests: Probe Panel Submits Report to PM Karki 

Online communities and group chats give young radicals validation. They push each other deeper into extremism, normalising violent fantasies. Robinson’s trail of messages points to peers who cheered his growing hatred instead of stopping him.

From college campuses to TikTok feeds, Gen Z is being pulled into radical leftist cult-like thinking. Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk’s shooter, is just one shocking outcome. Here’s how this dangerous brainwashing works.

‘Ideology of Devil’: How Gen Z like Tyler Robinson get brainwashed into leftist cult

Amid violent protests triggered due to the social media ban, Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli stepped down on Tuesday (Sep 9). As unrest broke out, police and protesters clashed on the streets, with police using violent force on people. Security forces even used tear gas and rubber bullets to stop the crowd as they entered the Parliament area. Police also opened fire on protesters, leaving 19 dead and over 250 injured. Though the Nepalese government restored social media platforms late on Monday, the protest continued, ultimately leading to PM Oli's resignation, who came to power in July 2024.&nbsp;<h2>Who is KP Sharma Oli ?</h2>KP Sharma Oli is a senior communist leader in Nepal, and was born in 1952 in eastern Nepal. Oli dropped out of school and entered politics at a very young age. At 22, he was jailed for 14 years in connection with the murder of a farmer, Dharma Prasad Dhakal. Influenced by Marxist and Leninist ideas, Oli joined the Communist Party in 1970 and got deeply involved in leftist movements. In 1971, he played a key role in the Jhapa rebellion, a turning point in Nepal’s communist struggle. Oli rose to prominence when his party, the Communist Party of Nepal, allied with the Unified Marxist Leninist (UML), in 2018. Together, they won a two-thirds majority and later merged to form the Nepal Communist Party, with Oli and Prachanda sharing leadership. He twice served as Prime Minister of Nepal, first in 2015-2016 and later from 2018-2021, before the Supreme Court removed him from office.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Check - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/pm-oli-s-residence-set-on-fire-nepal-protests-intensify-again-1757413251080">PM Oli's residence set on fire | Nepal protests intensify again</a>&nbsp;After the 2022 elections, Oli’s party (CPN-UML) finished second, behind the Nepali Congress, while the Maoist Centre was third. Although the Nepali Congress held the majority, Prachanda formed an unexpected alliance with Oli’s CPN-UML and formed the new Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). With their backing, Prachanda became Prime Minister, and Oli shifted into the role of kingmaker.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/nepal-pm-kp-sharma-oli-resigns-amid-violent-protests-1757413222539">Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli resigns amid violent protests</a>&nbsp;As he resigned from the post, he said that he was doing so for the betterment of the nation. Oli appealed to protesters to maintain peace and exercise restraint. He had also announced an all-party meeting at 6 pm to address the crisis. "Any form of violence is not in the national interest. We must adopt peaceful dialogue and discussion," Oli said in his statement.
