Nepalese Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli resigned Tuesday following violent protests sparked by a now-lifted social media ban and widespread accusations of government corruption. Protests, including attacks on government officials' homes, erupted after police opened fire on demonstrators Monday, killing 19. The unrest highlighted deep public anger over corruption and a perceived lack of accountability. Oli announced an investigation into the violence and pledged compensation to victims.
