Tension increased in Bara district of Nepal, adjacent to India, on Wednesday when Gen-Z youth and ousted Prime Minister K.P. There was a clash between workers of Sharma Oli’s party CPN-UML. Seeing the situation, the administration imposed curfew in the area. Bara district administration said that there will be curfew within 500 meters of Simara Airport from 12:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

Protest and clash at the airport
The clash took place when the Buddha Air plane was about to take off from Kathmandu for Simara carrying CPN-UML leader general secretary Shankar Pokharel and youth leader Mahesh Basnet. Both the leaders had to address an anti-government rally. As soon as the news of Simara’s arrival spread, a large number of Gen-Z protesters gathered at the airport to protest, where they clashed with CPN-UML supporters.

Flights canceled, leaders returned
Following the clash, Buddha Airlines canceled all domestic flights from Kathmandu-Simara. This also included the flight that was to carry both the CPN-UML leaders. Due to increasing tension both the leaders returned. Let us tell you that Gen-Z are those youth who were born between 1997 and 2012. They are also called ‘digital natives’ because they have grown up in the era of internet and smartphones.

What is UML?
UML i.e. Nepal Communist Party (Unified Marxist-Leninist) is one of the major political parties of Nepal. This party is based on leftist ideology and has been playing an important role in Nepal’s politics for a long time. Former Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli is the top leader of this party. UML describes itself as an advocate of nationalism, stability and development, but in recent years there has been growing dissatisfaction among the youth, especially Gen-Z, regarding its policies and leadership, which has often led to protests.

Tension increased, security forces deployed
These protests, which started from the beginning of this week, have now become more intense. Heated debates and clashes have taken place at many places between young protesters and UML supporters. To keep the situation under control, security forces have been deployed at many important places in Bara district. The administration is continuously monitoring the situation.

Political crisis continues in Nepal, Prime Minister KP Oli had to resign from the post within just two days. After this, the interim government was formed under the leadership of Sushila Karki with the support of the army. Questions are being raised about the secret intervention of America behind this whole incident. Many people believe that America’s involvement was not directly revealed, but silent consent and support was definitely given. Many incidents of America intervene in the past in Nepal are making this doubt even stronger.

America’s old intervention in Nepal
The Sunday Guardian report states that the US has already used Nepal for its secret campaigns. During its strategy against China during the Cold War, the US worked to gather intelligence from Nepal, conduct propaganda campaign and conduct paramilitary activities. In 1971, these operations were revealed in the documents of President Nixon’s Secret Action Committee. The purpose of these activities of America was primarily supporting anti -China groups.

Mustang Guerrilla Force and America’s connection
In the 1960s, the US formed the anti -China Mustang Guerrilla Force by giving weapons and training to Tibetan refugees in Nepal. The members of this force later revealed in the film called ‘Shadow Circus: The CIA in Tibet’, how America gave them weapons and trained. But as the relations between the US and China improved, the US left the support of this force, causing Nepal to face diplomatic results.

American influence increased after 9/11
After the 9/11 attack on the US in 2001, the US increased its military appearance in Nepal under the guise of war against terrorism. The US government declared the Maoist rebels terrorists in Nepal and started giving huge military assistance to Kathmandu. Thousands of M-16 rifles were sent to Nepal, as well as a defense cooperation office was established in the US embassy. By 2005, the Royal Nepal Army’s size was doubled with the help of American.

America’s hand in the collapse of Oli government?
After the sudden collapse of KP Oli’s government, there has been speculation about America’s involvement. Many senior journalists, police officers and army people believe that such a big movement was not possible without the help of any external power. The special thing is that no major Nepali political face came out in this movement, which further deepened this doubt. A senior journalist told that America has always preferred to work in Kathmandu, so this time something similar may have happened.

A Nepali official also said that if the new system allows, they will collect evidence to fully prove that there are foreign forces behind this conspiracy. Many people believe that this entire strategy was prepared by America, as has been happening in the 1960s and 70s.

Did Washington rotate the key to change in Nepal?
There is a lack of evidence so far, but looking at historical examples and recent events, it seems that the US has rotated the key to the change of power in Kathmandu. This political crisis of Nepal has raised new questions, whose answers will be available in the coming time. At the moment, it is not difficult to assume that the secret role of America can be behind this whole development.
