The Nepalese are currently burning the government!

[Ellipse]

After the gov fired live ammunitions at a peaceful demonstration against "Internet shutdown", the Nepalese literally burnt their government today. The army did not intervene for the moment.

AI summarise if you don't want to look at the video:

- Nepal "collapsed in less than 24 hours" with the government completely gone
- Government buildings, schools, and universities are burning
- Citizens went directly to the private homes of government officials and killed them
- The Prime Minister disappeared
- The government was described as "corrupt from top to bottom" with officials getting richer while ordinary citizens struggled to survive
- The government banned all social media platforms (except TikTok, which agreed to give the government control)
- A peaceful anti-corruption movement by young Nepalese people turned violent when police used tear gas and rubber bullets
- Police shot at demonstrators (many aged 13-20) and ambulances
- The government has been completely overthrown by the people
- Perhaps the army will likely take over the country under martial law
- Certainly a loss of important data and documents and prisoners in the wild

English translation can be turned on for the video.

Gov shooting people during protest sounds almost exactly as Maidan happening, i.e. a signature of color revolution regime change aka coup.

In the post it's stated as a fact, the shooting, where did this info come from?

P.S. Being sandwiched between China and India that finally made progress in relations a week or two ago during SCO summit, Nepal is 'ideal' for being an 'obstacle on the road'. Not to mention that recent Myanmar events are not so far away from that region.

What is suspicious is the fact that there were many signs as seen on the internet which were in English. The government were open towards China. The protest looks a bit like Maidan compressed into a few days and with violent reaction from protesters, beating of government officials, burning of government buildings etc.
Looking for NED and their activity in Nepal, I found one site which is from 2007 though it is unlikely that NED ever left. The site says:

Objectives
To mobilize regional support for the restoration of multi-party democracy in Nepal. Forum-Asia will organize the second regional meeting on human rights, democracy, and peace in Nepal in New Delhi, India, to engage political and civil society groups in India and other countries in an effort to create pressure for the protection of human rights and a return to constitutional democratic politics in Nepal.
Beneficiaries
NGOs
Country
Nepal

Soros and his foundation also work in Nepal, since 2007. Here is a bit from their site from 2021:

When the Open Society Foundations began work in Nepal in 2007, the country was emerging from a decade-long Maoist insurgency. Society was deeply polarized. The monarchy had just been abolished, and the country needed to elect a constituent assembly in order to draw up a permanent constitution.

In an effort to stabilize the volatile political landscape, the Open Society Foundations founded a new locally-led initiative, the Alliance for Social Dialogue, which brought the feuding groups together to renounce violence and discuss constitutional and public policy issues. We also supported education reform, independent media and investigative journalists, human rights activists and lawyers fighting for justice for conflict victims.

Today, Nepal has a functioning constitution. In 2017, Nepal held the first local elections in twenty years, a move the Alliance for Social Dialogue had long campaigned for.

There is no doubt that these regime changers are there on the ground with the fingers on the pulse ready to stimulate the grassroots if needed by the Western hegemon. Perhaps Nepal moved to close to China and now was the time to activate a bit of regime change to throw chaos China's way.
Nepal has also signed on to the One Belt One Road project with the opportunity for major investment in Nepal. Here is a bit from that site which is from 2017:

Nepal has also signed the OBOR cooperation pact on May 12 this year to participate in the initiative of its northern neighbour. The revival of the Silk Route will enhance connectivity, boost trade and investments, mobility of the people and most importantly foster the economic opportunities primarily integrating trade and investment in Eurasia. Nepal used to be an important thoroughfare of the historic commercial silk route and its revival is expected to benefit the economy.

Experts suggest that the initiative will propel Nepal’s prospects to benefit from the economic development taking place in China and will cumulate the positive spillovers from China’s development. Most importantly, OBOR provides connectivity, which is fundamental for any economy to move forward. Connectivity in all forms - physical, digital and people to people is a must to achieve benefit from the economic giant China and economies connected to the Silk Route.

[...]


China has set up the multilateral development bank, Asian Infrastructure Development Bank (AIIB), to fund the infrastructure gap of member countries.


Nepal as founding member of the AIIB will also be able to mobilise funding from the China-sponsored multilateral bank.


As per its aspiration to graduate in the league of developing nations by 2022, Nepal has been making efforts to enhance all forms of connectivity - road, rail, electricity grid, digital connectivity - with neighbouring India and China.

"Nepal's participation in OBOR will provide an opportunity to develop cross border highways, railways, transmission lines and internet connectivity, which will bring transformative changes in Nepal's socio-economic landscape," said Surya Raj Acharya, connectivity expert, "This initiative will enhance physical connectivity as well as deepen integration among Asian countries and thereby unleash the full potential of Asia as it emerges as a global economic hub."

The following article is from 2020 and deals specifically with OBOR and Nepal:

BRI 1 & 2 and Nepal:

China being the second biggest trade partner of Nepal and has a 1414 kms. Boundary with it, sincerely wishing Nepal to be the partner of BRI. Similarly, the domestic pressure had also been built inside Nepal for signing BRI with an aim to enhance economic growth and, furthermore, to reduce the dependency with India. Government could not resist these pressures, although, India and USA, EU intended to keep Nepal aside of BRI for the time being. But Nepal’s then Finance Minister, Dr. Ram Saran Mahat went to Beijing and signed in the Understanding Paper of OBOR in December 2014.

The West and India, both were suspicious about the interior intention of China as she has got the comparative advantages over the capitalist countries in the field of trade, infrastructure, pipelines, roads, highways, seaports and manufacturing goods.

One can see why the Empire of Chaos would be interested in regime change.

In the post it's stated as a fact, the shooting, where did this info come from?

The author said he is in contact with Nepaleses and videos of police firing at people were exchanged between people, using a peer to peer application which run on Bluetooth. Internet is not totally shut down so I guess you can still send documents outside, you just cannot post on social media.

Don't know for the regime change. Look like the current gov was already corrupted so is there something more to gain for foreign countries? Nepal is a very poor country. I'm having trouble seeing the stakes.

Nepal is a very poor country.

Yes and in contrast, the first thing the right-wing media start publishing is the old tactic "what happened to the Russian tsars". The consequences of a communist government that got rich while the people were starving.

I have seen some Colombian media, again, commenting that this should serve as an example for messing with social networks. Which countries have social media blocking? the usual enemies, Russia, China and Venezuela mainly.

Already in the following hours we will know that there is more beyond "the people were upset because they did not have social networks".

For now I can only find that kind of news and photos of the luxurious life that their government had. It's the first thing they always post.

There is no doubt that these regime changers are there on the ground with the fingers on the pulse ready to stimulate the grassroots if needed by the Western hegemon. Perhaps Nepal moved to close to China and now was the time to activate a bit of regime change to throw chaos China's way.

Interesting, so that's a bit of what I'm thinking, since we can't weaken China and Russia directly with sanctions or break it out in war, they will attack their allied countries.
