Nepali migrants pose for a photo outside the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 2, 2025, before heading into the terminal to board the plane. According to data from the Department of Foreign Employment, nearly 800,000 Nepali leave the country annually for work or education. Gulf countries account for much of this migration, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, and Qatar at the top of the list. The steep rise in the number of migrant workers heading to foreign countries also leads to a significant rise in remittances. According to the Nepal Rastra Bank, the central bank of the Himalayan nation, over 70% of remittances are sourced from the Gulf countries.

In front of the Prefecture, a protester reads a tract about migrants and their battle to obtain papers. Dozens of thousands of people take to the streets in Toulouse, France, on September 10, 2025, against Macron's economic policies after a day called 'Bloquons tout' (Block everything). In Toulouse, as in other towns, the movement 'Bloquons tout' launches at the beginning of the summer on social networks. It launches against Macron's policies: downsizing the welfare state to cut taxes for businesses, increasing the Defense budget and Interior Ministry, and his choice of conservative Sebastien Lecornu as the new Prime Minister. His pro-business stance angers French people who blockade everywhere in France on September 10. Riot police receive orders to be without any tolerance towards blockades and use volleys of tear gas canisters. After blockading, people come to protest and scuffle with riot police.
