On Friday, Sushila Karki, Nepal’s former chief justice, was sworn in to office as interim prime minister, after more than 70 people were killed during anti-corruption protests led by the country’s Gen Z movement. The protests were sparked earlier this month by a social media ban and escalated into attacks on politicians’ homes. The Parliament was also set on fire. Karki becomes Nepal’s first female prime minister.

Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki: “We are here to serve the country, and we will only stay here for six months, not more than that. After completing all the tasks and responsibilities, we will be free, and we will hand it over to the new ministers and the Parliament. We have made this promise.”
