Hanaa Singer-Hamdy, United Nations Resident Coordinator in Nepal, arrives at Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 17, 2025, to attend a briefing to the international community by Nepali Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki. In her briefing, the interim prime minister assures the diplomats that the Himalayan nation steadily returns to normalcy as the government intensifies efforts to restore stability, promote transparency, and combat corruption. The Prime Minister also briefs the international community about the overall situation in Nepal and informs the diplomats about the upcoming elections to the House of Representatives, scheduled for March 5, 2026. Karki comes into power following the Gen-Z revolution, which removes communist KP Sharma Oli from power. At least 75 people are killed in two days of violence. The Gen Z protestors hit the streets demanding political accountability, an end to entrenched corruption, and the reversal of a controversial social media ban. The protests, primarily driven by students and young citizens, rapidly escalate into Nepal's bloodiest day since the 2006 pro-democracy movement. On September 8 alone, at least 21 protestors--mostly students under the age of 30--are killed. The following day sees 39 more deaths, including 15 from severe burns, while an additional 14 fatalities are recorded over the next ten days. To date, the death toll stands at 75.
