Nepal's new prime minister to be re-elected on the internet? In September, hundreds of thousands of young Nepalese simulated a new election online after overthrowing their government through mass protests. They then proposed the elected Sushila Karki as interim president. This election was not representative – but it bears the hallmarks of the protest-driven Generation Z.
Within a few years, Nepal has become the third country in South Asia where mass protests by Gen Z have brought down the government. Everywhere, young people in particular are paying a high price: in Bangladesh, over 300 people died in 2024. In Turkey, Serbia, Indonesia and most recently in Morocco and Madagascar, it is also Gen Z who are putting their necks on the line.
In our dossier, we ask whether there is a connection between these Gen Z protests – despite their different backgrounds. What does it say about the state of affairs when so many young people are risking their lives? Is Gen Z the new progressive protest generation? And how does the young fascist mobilisation on the internet and in the streets fit into this picture?
