"We have to work with the mindset of Generation Z," said Nepal's newly appointed Prime Minister Sushila Karki
New Prime Minister Nepal Sushila Karki promised to respond to the demands of the protesters calling for an "end corruption", after riots in which, according to the new balance, at least 72 people died.
"We have to work with the mindset of Generation Z," Sushila Karki said in her first remarks since assuming office on Friday, following the resignation of KP Prime Minister Sharma Oli.
"What this group demands is an end to corruption, good governance and economic equality," said the 73-year-old prime minister, a former president of the Supreme Court.
"You and I must be determined to achieve this goal," the head of the transitional government told the young protesters.
The capital, Kathmandu, was the scene of violent anti-government protests on Monday and Tuesday, which left at least 72 dead and 191 injured. According to the previous report, 51 people were killed, and according to the latest, 72.
Sushila Karki today called for a minute of silence for the victims of the most serious riots since the abolition of the monarchy in 2008.
The violence was caused by police repression against protest participants who condemned the blocking of social media and elite corruption.
Sushila Karki added that she and her interim government "will not remain in power for more than six months" and that elections are scheduled for March 5, 2026.
