Generation Zers of Nepal poured out into the streets on Sept. 8, 2025 demanding an end to the corruption that has crippled the country. Within 48 hours, the government of Nepal helmed by KP Oli toppled.
How corrupt is the country of Nepal? How corrupt are the political leaders of Nepal? Here's what the AI Deep Seek produced for me about KP Oli and his corruption scandals.
On Sept. 8 2025, Generation Zers of Nepal poured out into the streets protesting against corruption among other things. The protests resulted in toppling the Government of Nepal in less than forty-eight hours. Here's a very detailed and comprehensive AI-generated report on the subject.
Monday Sept. 8 Generation Zers in Nepal poured out into the streets. Tuesday the devastatingly ineffective and corrupt Prime Minister KP Oli resigned. Friday evening, interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki is sworn in. Saturday morning, Nepalis wake up to the dawn of a new era in Nepali politics.
Having grown up in Nepal, I know why Nepalis take pride in all the things they do and celebrate all the different things they do. But, returning to Nepal after almost twenty-five years abroad, most of my adult life, I discovered how much all of those things were holding the society and country back and how urgently Nepalis need to rise above them all.
This is a letter to my fellow Nepalis about all the many things we as a people must rise above now and why.
Back in May 2013, based on the word of a 12-year-old I was held in police custody in Doha, Qatar for allegedly insulting Islam. The 12-men-strong board of directors of Qatar Academy, where I was teaching at the time, did NOT push back against the charges brought by the child's father. But, after 12 days in custody, on the 12th of May, I was released from Al Rayyan Police Station.
Now in May 2025, 12 years since the incident, I have something else to report!
