The current government was led by the Communist Party of Nepal. Protests claim to be about Nepal trying to limit access to Western social media. Sounds like a Western operation to me.

This very much looks to be a color revolution in progress. It looks like the protests were kicked off by Hami Nepal:

Hami Nepal, a nonprofit organisation that began as a youth movement in 2015, organised Monday’s protest. According to the Kathmandu District Administration Office, the nonprofit had secured approval for it.

The bottom logo on Hami Nepal's website is the Students for a Free Tibet organization, listed as NED-funded in a 2019 NED disclosure archived here.

Oh and guess who visited Nepal a couple of years ago

This ghoul's face pops up everywhere handing out goodies to color revolution actors.

Of course! And there's also the portrayal of the protestors by the media as "Gen Z", the "disenfrachised poor youth" etc. If this sort of thing happened, oh I don't know, in France let's say, the protesters would have been called hooligans, anarchists and criminals. It's very clearly an operation under way. But unfortunately, unlike the Maidan coup, the propaganda will prevail, since most of the world is uninformed and uncaring about Nepal.

Indeed, and the double standard is really jarring given that France is descending into country wide riots as we speak.
