Nepali Youth Bipin Joshi Confirmed Dead After 738 Days in Captivity
After 738 days of hope and uncertainty, Nepali youth Bipin Joshi, abducted by Hamas in Israel, has been confirmed dead. The news comes amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, reviving calls for peace after years of conflict. Reports confirm that innocent lives were lost on both sides — some captives died in Hamas’s custody, while others reportedly perished in IDF operations and detention. Bipin’s death is a painful reminder that in wars fought for power, no side truly wins — only families lose.
Building a Stronger Nepal: Why Gen Z Must Lead Reform Efforts
Nepal’s youth are brave, creative, and eager for positive change — but energy alone is not enough. The next six months under the interim government present a critical window to focus on constitutional reforms that promote transparency, accountability, and long-term stability. From my perspective, having studied constitutional challenges in Pakistan, strong legal frameworks are essential to prevent repeated political failures. Key reforms include civic education, measures to limit dynastic politics, equality laws for all citizens including queer and trans communities, and strengthening democratic institutions. This is an important moment to support processes that ensure leaders are accountable, governance is fair, and Nepal’s democracy continues to thrive for generations to come.
Sushila Karki Assumes Interim Leadership in Nepal Following Anti-Corruption Uprising
Sushila Karki, Nepal’s former chief justice, has been sworn in as the country’s first female interim prime minister after mass anti-corruption protests toppled the government. More than 50 people were killed in clashes sparked by a social media ban that escalated into a wider movement against political privilege. Karki now faces the task of restoring order, rebuilding parliament, and regaining public trust ahead of elections set for March 2026.
Can Nepal Directly Appoint a Caretaker Prime Minister Like Miss Sushila Karki?
Nepal’s youth are demanding real change — a dissolved Parliament, a neutral caretaker prime minister, and fresh elections. The Constitution already provides a roadmap for this. By following Article 76’s steps to try and form a government first, then legally dissolving Parliament, and appointing a neutral leader like former Chief Justice Sushila Karki through national consensus, Nepal can reset its politics without breaking the law.
Nepal’s Political Turmoil: Vandalism, Generational Frustrations, and the Way Forward
Nepal is grappling with fresh political unrest as protests led by youth spiraled into vandalism of key government buildings and residences. While many blame Generation Z, reports suggest older groups and even escaped convicts fueled the violence, leaving Kathmandu fearful of criminalization. The crisis highlights Nepal’s deeper challenge: repeated government collapses, lack of civic education, and a leadership gap that has persisted since the parliamentary system’s introduction 18 years ago. Experts argue that reforms—including constitutional amendments, civic training, and an end to dynastic politics—are urgently needed to prepare future generations and restore stability.
