Nepal is going through the most violent and broad socio-political crisis in history these days. Young agitators in the capital Kathmandu, called ‘Jane-Zade’, forced the Prime Minister to resign through widespread protests. So far more than 30 people died in these demonstrations, more than 1,033 people were injured and more than 15,000 prisoners escaped from jails. Violence not only shook the political structure, but has also given deep wounds to the country’s economy.
Gen-Zed agitators have now announced that former Chief Justice Sushila Karki will become the interim Prime Minister of Nepal and new elections will be held in the country within six months. 73 -year -old Karki is considered a symbol of honest, fearless and adigal leadership. Under his leadership, this temporary government will try to take Nepal on the path of stability, but the challenges will not be reduced.

In addition, arson and sabotage in government buildings, hotels and business establishments in the recent protests have caused severe damage to Nepal’s economy. Major hotels in Pokhara and Kathmandu, depending on tourism, caught fire. School-college closed, outcry in shops and markets and thousands of people were deprived of employment. It is clear that the Zen-Zade movement raised voice against corruption and unsuccessful political systems, but they also destroyed the remaining economy from their fierce performance. Experts believe that Nepal’s GDP has lost several billion dollars due to this unrest. Tourism, which is the major source of income of Nepal, will not recover for a long period.
If you mention the challenges before the new government, then let us tell you that Sushila Karki has many deep challenges in front of the interim government. A large number of prisoners absconding from jail and violent demonstrations show that security in the country has collapsed. In addition, tourism, trade and investment will have to be restored and ensure the country’s financial stability. Also, balance between various political parties and youth will have to be maintained. Apart from this, by holding elections in six months, it will have to be ensured that the voice of the public really reaches the Parliament.
If seen, the recent incidents of Nepal show that the youth can stand against corruption and administrative failures, but violence and chaos only harm the country. Sushila Karki is definitely a ray of hope, but the route will not be easy for her. Now the stability and development of the country will depend on whether agitators, army and political parties together adopt constitutional and peaceful paths. There is no doubt that Nepal is standing at a turn today where both the aspirations and real challenges are in front. Karki’s leadership can play a decisive role in giving it the right direction, provided all stakeholders show restraint and foresight.
