Ousted Nepal PM Oli Claims 'Gen Z' Protests Were 'Planned Moment', Not Spontaneous

• Former Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli stated that the Gen Z-led protests that toppled his government were not spontaneous but a result of long-term preparation.
• Oli, in an interview with RT India, linked the Nepal uprising to a broader regional pattern, citing unrest in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
• He described the movement as "a planned moment," suggesting ideas were amplified globally, and formal intelligence warnings were not needed as the threat was visible for years.
• Oli acknowledged the government's failure to respond effectively, admitting the situation went "out of our capacity."
• The protests, sparked by a social media ban, escalated due to anger over economic stagnation, corruption, and political elites, leading to 76 deaths and Oli's resignation.
