We spoke to Dr. Kingsley Makhubela, International Relations expert, about the political upheavals in France and Nepal. In France, protests against austerity measures and pension reforms reflect deep dissatisfaction, while in Nepal, Generation Z-led protests over a social media ban and corruption forced Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli to resign. These movements highlight how youth-led activism is reshaping politics, both in Europe and Asia, driven by frustrations with government failure and corruption.
