Nepal’s prime minister KP Sharma Oli has resigned as anti-corruption protests escalate – at least two people have died so far, the BBC reports.
Protesters have set fire to the home of an ex-PM and vandalized the homes of several leaders.
Here’s a summary of how the protests came about, fuelled by anger over “nepo kids.”
Protests erupted on Monday, ostensibly over a social media ban that the government has since reversed.
The ban sought to stifle an anti-corruption campaign online – but it sparked more anger and 19 people died in Monday’s unrest.
