Thousands of demonstrators thronged the streets of Kathmandu on Monday, September 8, to protest the Nepalese government's block of social media and corruption. With the "Gen Z revolt" now erupting into violence and the resignation of the prime minister, many questions remain for the citizens and leadership of Nepal. This flash panel of experts and eyewitnesses will examine the causes of the dissent, the potential response, and how the protests may affect the future of Nepal.
This webinar is free and open to all. Registration required.
