The Nepal Parliament was caught fire after the resignation of the anti -corruption protests

The Prime Minister resigned. The anti -corruption demonstrators are in clashes with the police on Monday.

On Tuesday, the crowds set fire to Parliament in the capital, Kathmandu, where it sent a thick black smoke rising to the sky. Government buildings and the role of political leaders were attacked throughout the country.

Three other deaths were reported on Tuesday. Amid chaos, prison officials said 900 prisoners managed to escape prisoners in the western regions of Nepal.

The demonstrations were run by a ban on social media platforms. It was raised on Monday – but by that time the protests have been swamped into a mass movement.

Nepal army commander issued a late statement on Tuesday accused of demonstrators of taking advantage of the current crisis by destroying fire, looting and setting fire to public and private property.

“All security institutions, including the Nepal army, are committed to controlling the situation,” she said, effective from 22:00 local time (16:15 GMT; 17:15 amput), without detailing what this might require.

While the Prime Minister stepped down, it is not clear who will be replaced – or what happens after that, with no one apparently. According to what was reported, some leaders, including the ministers, resorted to the security forces.

So far, the demonstrators have not clarified their demands regardless of the gathering under a broader call to fight corruption. The protests appear spontaneous, with no organized leadership.

Inside Parliament, there were rejoicing scenes where hundreds of demonstrators danced and slogans were frequented about a fire at the entrance to the building, and many were carrying the flag of Nepal.

Some entered the building, where all windows were destroyed. The messages were drawn on writing on the walls and government control on the outer surface.

Mona Sherchta, residing in Kathmandu, 20, was among the great crowd outside Parliament.

She told the BBC that corruption was a long -term issue, adding that “the time has come for our nation, our prime minister, and anyone in power, because we need to change.”

“This has happened now and we are happy to watch this and fight for this. I hope this change will bring something positive for us.”

Mrs. Sherchta believes that the taxes paid by workers need to use them in ways that will help the country to grow.

Last week, the Nepal government ordered the authorities to prevent 26 social media platforms for not complying with a final date for registration.

Pits such as Instagram and Facebook have millions of users in Nepal, who rely on them for entertainment, news and business.

The government justified its ban on the name of fake news processing, hate speech and online fraud.

But the youth criticized this step as an attack on freedom of expression.

Although the embargo was hurriedly lifted on Monday night, the protests have already gained an irreversible momentum, as the political elite targeted and the nation fell into chaos.

A government minister said that they had lifted the ban after the emergency meeting late on Monday night “to address the demands of General Z.”

In the weeks before the embargo, the “Nebu Kid” campaign, which highlights the lifestyle of the children of politicians and allegations of corruption, was launched on social media.

Thousands of young people first tried to storm the parliament building on Monday. Several areas were placed under the curfew. Most deaths occurred around Parliament and government buildings on that day.

On Tuesday, the protests continued unabated. A crowd in Kathmandu ignited the headquarters of the Nepalese Congress Party, which is part of the ruling coalition and its leader, Sher Bahdor Duba.

Also, the 73-year-old Prime Minister KP OLI-a 73-year-old Prime Minister who leads the Communist Party.

He said he resigned to pave the way for a constitutional solution to the current crisis.

“In light of the negative situation in the country, I became independent today to facilitate the solution to the problem and to help solve it politically in accordance with the constitution,” Oli wrote in his letter to President Ramshandra Baudel.

One of the assistants told Paudel to Reuters news agency that the president before the resignation began “the operation and discussions for a new leader.”
