Sushila Karki was appointed Nepal's new interim prime minister on Friday the first woman to hold the position. It came after violent demonstrations left at least 72 people dead and thousands injured, and forced Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli to step down from his post. The revolt by members of Gen Z, a term referring to people born roughly between 1997 and 2012 was triggered by a short-lived government-imposed social media ban and anger about widespread corruption and economic hardship in the Himalayan nation.
