# Nepal’s veteran prime minister, KP Sharma Oli, resigned today after youth protesters demanded he quit, a day after one of the deadliest crackdowns in years in which at least 19 people were killed. The protests, which began yesterday with demands that the government lifts a ban on social media and tackles corruption, reignited despite the apps going back online. Protesters today attacked and set fire to the house of 73-year-old Oli, leader of the Communist Party.
