Kathmandu (Reuters) -The Nepalese Communist leader KP Sharma Oli was sworn as the Prime Minister a year ago promising stability and jobs, but suddenly resigned after the worst unrest for decades of accusing corruption and authoritarian authority.
His resignation after the violent anti -corruption protests, which died of 19 people, was the last turn of the roller coaster in a political career reflecting the volatility of modern Nepalese policy.
Ever since the Prime Minister of the Prime Minister of 14 years to four times, the adolescent revolutionary, OLI has been the main political and economic uncertainty that has caught Nepal, since the protests have led to her monarchy to be abolished in 2008.
In July last year, he swore his fourth term as the 14th Prime Minister of the country since 2008, 73. Oli, promised to fight corruption and poverty in a family that was between India and China.
However, an experienced political survival failed to withstand a wave of public rage, which forced him to use the deadly force against the demonstrators on Tuesday on Tuesday.
The Oli assistant said the outgoing Prime Minister’s private residence was set on fire to demonstrators celebrating his removal.
The television images showed protesters hiding in a compound and robbing the property – crashing windows and breaking pots, chairs and other furniture – before the structure was burned. Security forces that seem to be surpassed, watched from several meters.
“There was a lot of dissatisfaction among the people of the government and political leadership. It was only yesterday’s explosion. Slaughter people were sensitive,” said the famous constitutional expert Bipin Adhikari.
Last week, his decision to block access to several social media platforms, including the Meta Platforms Meta.o Facebook, caused protests throughout the country, led by Gen Z activists who accused him of silenced disagreements and protect the corruption elite.
The government denied trying to give up a free word and, among other worries, abused social media to spread misinformation and cheat.
The protesters also accused the Oli of many misfortunes of the Himalayan people, saying that his last term as the Prime Minister was characterized by established corruption, economic stagnation and authoritarianism.
Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, and political instability has discouraged investment and has caused its economic development, forcing millions of young people to look for work in Malaysia, South Korea and the Middle East.
Oli Life born in 1952 East Nepal, was in trouble. His mother died of smallpox when he was four and his family was transferred to floods, forcing him to live with his grandparents.
He entered politics as a young activist agreed with communist ideology, and in the 1970s and in the 1980s, he was imprisoned for 14 years to contradict the monarchy, a experience that forms his political perspective and the image of society.
He was the founder of the Communist Party of Nepal (a united Marxism-Leninist) or CPN-AML and became a prominent country-wide, developing the ability to falsify political alliances.
He served as the leading roles of ministers, including the Minister of the Interior and Foreign Affairs, and four times the Prime Minister.
The first time OLI took over Premiership in 2015, at a time when the border crossings with India had prevented a few months, the country was lacking in fuel and medication.
His government responded by signing a transit agreement with Beijing, terminating the Indian monopoly by Nepal’s trade route.
Both Asian giants have been locked in a great struggle for influence in Nepal, and Oli’s fall will be closely monitored by India and China.
Some political observers held closer to China, and OLI accepted a stricter line with India during its first term, as it caused nationalist sentiment to change the map of Nepalese for the disputed land, involving areas controlled by India.
However, in 2022. He said Reuters that Nepal, led by his administration, would be neutral and incompatible.
