Nepal gets its first female PM after Gen Z's anti-corruption protests

Sushila Karki, a former chief justice, became the first woman to lead Nepal after taking oath of office as interim leader on Friday following violent anti-corruption protests that forced prime minister K.P. Sharma Oli to resign. President Ramchandra Paudel's office announced Karki's appointment following negotiations between Paudel, army chief Ashok Raj Sigdel and the protesters who led Nepal's worst upheaval in years. A total of 51 people were killed and more than 1,300 were injured this week in the anti-graft protests by the Gen Z movement, named for the demographic of its mainly young supporters. The protest was sparked by a social media ban that has since been rolled back. The violence subsided only after Oli resigned on Tuesday.
