What began on TikTok as anger about inequality exploded into Nepal’s largest youth-led protest in decades. Wall Street Week’s Michael McKee reports from Kathmandu on how Gen-Z activists, angered by corruption, nepotism, and a sudden social-media ban, mobilized thousands, leading to deadly clashes and the collapse of the government.
