US Funded Nepal's Gen Z Movement

US Funded Nepal's Gen Z Movement

The United States secretly funded a program in Nepal to train young people to protest and influence politics.

This program, called 'Yuva Netritwa: Paradarshi Niti,' taught them how to organize protests and use social media.

The goal was to make these young people a force that could pressure the Nepali government to make changes that the US wanted.

When the Nepali government blocked social media sites, the trained youth protested, and it turned violent.

This led to the prime minister resigning and raised questions about the US's role in the protests.

The US says it supports democracy, but some people think it is trying to control Nepal's government to counter the influence of China and India.
