La renuncia del primer ministro nepalí, KP Oli, en medio de masivas protestas juveniles, ha planteado numerosos interrogantes para el pueblo nepalí y su otrora unida izquierda. Si bien muchos han acusado el levantamiento de ser simplemente una respuesta a la prohibición de las redes sociales, sus raíces son mucho más profundas.

The resignation of Nepali PM KP Oli, amid massive youth-driven protests has raised many questions for the people of Nepal and its once united Left. While many have accused the uprising about merely being in response to a social media ban, the roots are much deeper.

Madhav Kumar Nepal, the former Prime Minister of Nepal, explains the politics around US interests in the region in the light of the controversial Millennium Challenge Corporation.

Madhav Kumar talks about the ongoing political instability in the country, the threat posed by the rising influence of the far right, and the path ahead for the left to defend Nepal’s socialist and secular values enshrined in the constitution.

These were the second elections to be held under the present constitution in Nepal that came into effect in 2015. Voting took place in a single phase this time for the federal and provincial polls
