Gen Z protestors were shot dead in the street, Nepal’s state buildings were razed to the ground, and the government collapsed last autumn. Now, after an historic election, the country is taking a step into the unknown with a new government. It is led by a rapper-turned-politician and it’s pledged to the aims of its youth.
Jonny Dymond and a panel in Kathmandu debate audience questions covering the death and destruction of September 2025, future prospects for the country’s young adults, and the danger of a continuing Middle Eastern war to life in Nepal.
The Panel:
Rakshya Bam: Youth activist and Coordinator of the Gen Z Front
Shishir Khanal MP: Minister for Foreign Affairs
Dr Prakash Mahat: Former Finance Minister and Spokesperson for Nepali Congress Party
Dr Mandira Sharma: Director, Asia and Pacific Region, International Commission of Jurists
