After a 10-day absence from the general public eye, former Nepali Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has appeared in public for the primary time. After he was flown in by a army helicopter from the Shivapuri army barracks on Thursday, Oli moved to a rented residence in Bhaktapur. His return to the general public eye follows his resignation on September 9 following mass “Gen-Z” protests that rattled the nation.
Escaping The Protests
Oli’s departure from the Prime Minister’s official residence on September 8 and 9 was necessitated by the escalating violence of the protests. He was airlifted by a army helicopter and sheltered on the Shivapuri army barracks for his security. His relocation was prompted after protestors reportedly set hearth to his ancestral residence in Jhapa and his non-public residence in Kathmandu. Upon his arrival on the new rented home, he was greeted by a number of supporters.
The ‘Gen-Z’ Revolution
The demonstrations, led by Nepali youth, have been a violent protest towards a social media ban, which quickly turned a motion towards nepotism and corruption. The protests resulted in additional than 20 deaths and witnessed a number of authorities buildings, together with parliament and Oli’s private home, being torched. Oli handed his resignation to President Ram Chandra Paudel, which was accepted on September 10. After his resignation, Oli and different ministers fled and sought shelter on the army barracks, giving rise to a number of speculations concerning his location.
