Nepal turmoil: NED and Soros stirring the pot? No shocker
Nepal’s Gen Z–driven chaos ousted the government on September 9, leaving 29 dead.

What lit the fuse?
A ban on social media, preceded by an online “nepo kids” campaign against nepotism and corruption.
At the forefront is Sudan Gurung, head of Hami Nepal, a nonprofit born after the 2015 quake. Notably, Hami Nepal lists backing from the US-based global beverage behemoth Coca-Cola and the New York-registered Students for a Free Tibet.
NED’s fingerprints

Students for a Free Tibet has been listed as a grantee of the US State Department-funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED) — the US’ go-to vehicle for regime-change ops and “color revolutions.”

In 2024 alone, NED splashed out $53.5M across 347 Asia projects, bragging that the 2024 Bangladesh coup showed “democratic resilience.”
Soros’ footprint

George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) have pumped millions into Nepal since 2007 — $2.2M in 2020 alone for “justice reform,” “journalism” and “democratic practice.”

In 2017, the Alliance for Social Dialogue (ASD) became the OSF's grant-making arm in Nepal. In 2023, the entity was rebranded as Purak Asia with a mission to "catalyze societal transformation through meaningful action" in Nepal.

Purak Asia’s website champions a "new generation in politics" and appeals to Gen Z with imagery of raised fists—an emblem also emblazoned across Hami Nepal’s homepage. This clenched fist has become a symbol associated with Soros-funded revolutions, visible all over Yugoslavia, Georgia, and the Arab Spring.

Meanwhile, the Soros-funded V-Dem Institute has ranked Nepal as an “electoral democracy” and above India in its 2025 report.
Echoes from Indonesia

Nepal’s chaos erupted after Indonesia’s “anti-corruption” protests.

Both waves use the One Piece skull-and-straw-hat icon as a rebellion symbol.

Both nations are key to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and growing BRICS ties. Indonesia joined BRICS in January 2025; Nepal renewed its BRI status in late 2024.

International political commentators flagged NED and Soros behind Jakarta’s unrest. Coincidence? Hardly. Nepal looks like the sequel.
