Nepal’s Prime Minister Oli Resigns After Deadly Protests

Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned on the second day of violent protests in the South Asian nation, during which demonstrators torched his private residence and other government buildings, according to local media reports.

The resignation followed hundreds of protesters storming his office on Tuesday to demand he step down, the Press Trust of India reported. At least 19 people were killed and hundreds injured this week in protests, led mainly by young people, against a government ban on social media platforms.
