In Nepal, after a series of bloody protests and resignation of the Government, the interim leader was led by the former Supreme Court president for Dry Karka, who became a new Prime Minister. Its purpose is designed to reduce stress and is a compromise decision for the government and protesters. However, in the context of more than 50 deaths, hundreds of injured and escaped from a series of prisoners and the country are waiting for a difficult transition period and preserving the uncertainty of politics.
New leader in a difficult period
On Friday night (local time), 73 -year -old Croaks dried the vow to be a temporary prime minister. She became the first woman at the top of the Nepal government. Croaks is known as a consistent critic of corruption, ensuring the popularity among protesters, especially young people of the Z generation, plays an important role in street shows.
Her candidate was supported by President Ramcandra Paudel and the Ashok Raj Sigdel army commander, saw in her agent character. At the same time, the lawyers noted: The frames are not the deputy of the National Assembly, and the 2015 Constitution does not specify for the Prime Minister's Institute temporarily. This can lead to the need to dissolve the National Assembly or even amend the basic law.
The bloody results of the protests
According to preliminary results, 51 people became victims of riots, 1300 others were injured. Among the dead – 21 protesters, nine prisoners, three police officers “and 18 others” – the government did not explain who was 18 years old. The special resonance has caused the huge escape from prisoners: about 13.5 thousand people fled the prison, more than 12,000 people are still free. Some fleeing people were detained while trying to cross the border with India.
The protests flashed after the dissatisfaction with corruption and the ban on social networks given by the government, but quickly developed into state buildings and mass clashes. Therefore, Prime Minister Olya resigned, and the street government was passed down to the army.
Normal signs
The armed forces play a decisive role in stability. General Sigdel moved to the population calling for calm, and the army took control of the street, although sometimes it had bloody clashes – both ordinary people and military staff died. For many residents, this has become a signal to restore order: when the police failed, the army arrived on time and saved the country from the lawlessness, Mr. Ramesh Svrest, Kathmandu's residents said in an interview with Western media.
Gradually, the situation was normalized. By the weekend, the shops opened in Kathmandu, the cars started driving by the street and the soldiers changed their weapons into batons. However, some roads are still blocked, and families continue to take the dead body.
However, experts warn: The political military participation in politics can entice them into new conflicts. The military should only maintain the power of support, and not play the role of an independent political player. Despite being appointed a new Prime Minister, experts believe that Nepal is waiting for a long time and difficult. This country still faces similar issues – corruption, weak economy and deeply dissatisfaction of citizens.
