Nepal's new interim Prime Minister, Sushila Karki, pledges to tackle corruption and ensure good governance, directly addressing the demands of "Gen Z" youth protesters who ousted her predecessor.
Her appointment follows widespread unrest, sparked by a social media ban and economic hardship, which resulted in significant casualties and the dissolution of parliament.
Karki, a former chief justice chosen by the youth movement, is tasked with restoring stability and preparing the nation for elections within six months amidst daunting challenges like high unemployment and escaped prisoners.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
