The Gen Z protests that led to the ejector of kingdom of nepal’s authorities in sep 2025 were unusual and unionised in a planned way, Nepal’s former prime minister, K.P. Sharma Oli, has told RT India.
Oli resigned as Nepal’s prime minister after violent clashes – known as the Gen Z protests – killed 77 and injured more than 2,000.
“That was not a simple and usual thing. That was unusual, and it couldn’t have taken place all of a sudden. It was organized in a planned way, it seems even at that time and later on,” Oli said in an exclusive interview on Monday.
The former Nepali PM said Sri Lanka and Bangladesh had warned that the protests that happened in these countries could happen in Nepal as well.
“Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were telling us… Leaders were talking that such things would happen, and things happened. It was an attack on our democracy to send back them to poverty,” Oli said.
He added that the current situation in Nepal is not conducive to holding elections.
Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki was appointed Nepal’s interim prime minister after Oli’s ouster last year.
A general election is scheduled for March.
In December 2025, The Grayzone, citing leaked documents, revealed that the US government’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars tutoring Nepalese young people to stage the protests.
The NED is officially a US State Department-funded nonprofit that provides grants to support ‘democratic initiatives’ worldwide.
The International Republican Institute (IRI), a NED division, has been accused of funding clandestine activities in Bangladesh. Https://www.rt.com/news/627551-bangladesh-us-regime-change/
The NED has been accused of funneling tens of millions of dollars to Ukrainian political entities and anti-Russian interests.
