First female prime minister appointed in Nepal after days of unrestINDEPENDENTRebecca WhittakerSep 12, 2025
- Nepal has appointed Sushila Karki, a 73-year-old former Supreme Court chief justice, as its first female prime minister to lead an interim government.
- Her appointment follows a week of widespread unrest and deadly protests across the country, which led to the resignation of the previous prime minister, KP Sharma Oli.
- The protests were initially sparked by the government's ban on 26 social media platforms, exacerbating public frustration over corruption, high unemployment, and perceived political unaccountability.
- More than 50 people died in clashes with riot police, including protesters and police officers, prompting the military to enforce a curfew in the capital, Kathmandu.
- Karki, known for her anti-corruption stance, is supported by young people to lead the interim administration amidst calls for broader governmental dissolution and fears of further instability.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
