Reporting directly from Kathmandu, in this episode of the “Over Here, Over There” podcast co-host Claudia uncovers what's behind Nepal’s violent Gen Z protests after the controversial social media ban. Caught right in the middle of the ongoings, she explores the roots of youth anger, exposing corruption and lavish lifestyles among politicians’ families, and revealing why the ban felt like a betrayal of freedom and democracy - and what it means for the EU, UK and the US.

► Why did the Nepal government ban Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube?
► How did Gen Z take to the streets—and what does it mean for free speech?
► What lessons can Europe and the US learn from Nepal’s crisis?
► Are social media platforms fueling unrest and division worldwide?
► Is there a future for independent, ethical online platforms?

Join Over Here, Over There for real stories, and global analysis.
