NEPAL IN CRISIS: ARMY PATROLS CAPITAL AS CALLS GROW FOR INTERIM LEADERSHIP


NEPAL IN CRISIS: ARMY PATROLS CAPITAL AS CALLS GROW FOR INTERIM LEADERSHIP

Nepal is experiencing its deadliest unrest in years after two consecutive days of violent anti-corruption protests that erupted in Kathmandu on September 8–9, 2025. The government responded with an indefinite curfew, while soldiers now patrol the capital and guard key institutions, including parliament.

The demonstrations, triggered by anger over corruption and intensified by a controversial social media ban, spiraled into chaos. Protesters torched government offices, media houses, and private residences, leaving more than 25 people dead and hundreds injured. Streets remain deserted under strict curfew orders as the army tries to restore order.

Amid the violence, Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli resigned, deepening the political crisis. Protesters and civil society leaders are now demanding a civilian-led interim government to bring stability. Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki has emerged as a strong candidate to lead the transition, with many seeing her as capable of guiding Nepal toward accountability and peace.
The unrest has also led to widespread disruptions. Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport, closed for two days due to smoke from fires started during the protests, has reopened, and flight operations are gradually returning to normal. However, the situation remains volatile, and authorities continue to urge the public to cooperate and maintain calm.

International reactions have been swift. India has deployed Air Force aircraft to evacuate over 400 of its citizens stranded in Nepal, and the Chinese government has called for the restoration of social order and the protection of its nationals.

As the country grapples with this crisis, the demand for systemic reforms grows louder. The youth-led movement, fueled by frustration over corruption and lack of opportunities, has ignited a nationwide call for change. The coming days will be crucial in determining Nepal's path forward.

COUNTRIES THAT WERE ONCE PREDOMINANTLY CHRISTIAN BUT ARE NOW MUSLIM-MAJORITY

INTRODUCTION Across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe and Central Asia, Christianity once flourished centuries before Islam emerged in the 7th century. Many regions that are today Muslim-majority were originally dominated by Christian populations, churches, monasteries, and theological centers that shaped early Christian doctrine. Over time, political change, military conquest, economic systems, social pressure, migration, and historical conflicts transformed the religious demographics of these regions. This article examines countries and regions that were once largely Christian but are now predominantly Muslim, using historical evidence and demographic estimates. EGYPT Egypt was one of the earliest and most influential centers of Christianity. The Church of Alexandria played a foundational role in Christian theology, and monasticism originated in the Egyptian desert. Before the Arab-Muslim conquest in 640 CE, Egypt was overwhelmingly Christian, with the ma...

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST In a move that has sparked widespread debate across the United States, President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. The decision, according to the White House, comes in response to a series of violent protests, vandalism, and reported lawlessness that have gripped parts of the city in recent weeks. Administration officials say the deployment is aimed at restoring peace and protecting federal buildings, businesses, and citizens, but critics argue it marks another instance of federal overreach and political showmanship. The announcement was made late Saturday following a high-level security briefing at the White House. In his statement, Trump emphasized that the federal government “would not sit idly by while chaos and violence undermine public safety.” The president pointed to reports of shootings, looting, and clashes between demonstrators and police as justification ...
