          The protests were set off by a ban on social media:
         </span>
         <span>
          Last week, the authorities banned 26 services, including WeChat, YouTube and LinkedIn, citing failures to register with the government. There’s a robust culture of free speech in Nepal, and social media had become a vehicle for criticizing what’s widely perceived as a deeply corrupt, two-tier society, comprising elites and everyone else. (Nepalese have used hashtags like #nepobabies and #nepokids to

          But in Nepal, social media is about more than free speech:

          “The country’s biggest slow-burning crisis centers on jobs,”

          my colleague Alex Travelli wrote

          . “Getting one is a herculean task in Nepal.” With many Nepalese working abroad and sending remittances back home, the social media ban “had the effect of isolating families from their faraway breadwinners,” Alex wrote. The government repealed the ban after the first day of protests, but by that point, anger was already boiling over.

          Nepal is the latest South Asian country to oust its prime minister:

         <span>
          Barely a year ago, similar scenes played out in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. That country’s prime minister, long the most powerful figure in the country, fled after being driven from office by street protests, following a security crackdown that killed 1,400 people. About three years ago, the same happened in Sri Lanka. In all three countries, the protesters have been young; in Nepal, the seemingly leaderless movement has embraced the label “Gen-Z protests.”

          What is making the region so volatile? “The primary answer is that nobody knows,” Alex told us. “These countries are very different economically, socially, in their positioning vis-à-vis major powers in the world.” But what they do have in common are serious unemployment problems among young people, and a system of entrenched elites.

          In Nepal, we’re still waiting to see how things will look in the coming hours, but my colleague Bhadra Sharma, who is in Kathmandu, has painted a picture of a city on edge: “Some protesters encircled my motorbike and then rushed it when they realized that I was a journalist. They only let me pass after I mouthed an antigovernment slogan,” he wrote, at about 9:15 p.m. Kathmandu time. The security forces “are not the only ones with guns and other weapons.”
