The tension continues to grasp Nepal when new protests broke out on the streets on Tuesday morning, the day after the government of Nepal had canceled the ban on social media. Since Monday, two ministers have resigned, while demonstrators are looking for the release of Prime Minister KP Oli.
Here’s all you need to know about the Nepalese protest and the ban on social media:
1. Why was the ban on social media stored and canceled later?
Nepal imposed a ban on 26 social media websites – including Facebook, WhatsApp, X, Instagram and YouTube – which did not meet the deadline for registration at Nepal of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology.
Masses perceived this step by attacking freedom of expression and can lead to censorship – despite the government clarifying his attitude that the places of social media have been banned to mention them under the regulation.
Meanwhile, the computer association Nepal (CAN) said that the closure of important platforms, such as Facebook, X and YouTube, may have a serious impact on education, business, communication and everyday life of ordinary citizens.
The decision to cancel the prohibition of social media was made after an emergency cabinet meeting late on Monday. On Monday evening, the Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli issued a statement with the announcement that the ban on the social media that was introduced was abolished.
2. Monday violence
Nepal’s intervention against social media societies on Monday caused a massive protest that led to killing at least 19 people.
The demonstration became violent when thousands of young people, including school students, under the auspices of the gene Z, presented a massive protest before the parliament in Kathmandu and shouted anti -government slogans requiring immediate cancellation.
This caused the police to use water works, tear gas and live wheels to distract the crowds, eyewitnesses said.
The protests spread to Pokhara, Butwal, Bhairahaw, Bharatpur, Itahar and Damak.
In his statement, Oli blamed “infiltration with various interest groups” for Monday violence.
The protests were also joined by another group of young people who launched a campaign called “Nepo Kid” on various social media platforms.
“Nepo Kid”, the trend of social media, has become viral in recent days, and young people accuse children of politicians and influential people of “using privileges with money obtained from corruption”.

The authorities allegedly enforced a ban on walking in the districts of Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur. The previous prohibition on Monday, which expired at 5 am, was replaced by fresh order at 8:30.
