Nepal is racing to wipe out rabies by 2030, but leaders say it’s time to up investment in vaccines Rabies vaccinations are saving lives, but without mass dog immunisation, Nepal may struggle to meet its 2030 goal, experts warn.

Nepal’s 2030 goal is ambitious but possible. To get there will take scaling up vaccines for both people and animals and investing in the systems that deliver them. Read our deep dive for #WorldRabiesDay: bit.ly/3Ko20lB

Nepal’s staggering journey from Gen Z protests to new government Nepal’s staggering journey from Gen Z protests to new government

"#Nepal stands on the brink of a precipice. It is up to #GenZ to see whether the country takes flight or crashes to its doom," writes Pranaya Rana about the events of September 8-9 in #Kathmandu

The Daring Caper of a Faithful Tibetan Who Outfoxed China He escaped from police and crossed thousands of miles of wilderness on a decadelong odyssey toward freedom.

Let's not forget the Tibetans. For burning a poster of Mao Zedong, one Tibetan's entire life and family is torn apart, and he goes on a decade-long journey before he reaches freedom. Incredible reporting from Niharika Mandhana and @joshchin.bsky.social:

A social media timeline of Nepal’s Gen Z uprising The charred remains of police stations, super markets, minister’s homes, the federal parliament, the Supreme Court and much else stand as stark reminders of fiv

A day by day, post by post view of how #Nepal’s Gen Z protests unfolded on Instagram, TikTok, Discord and other social media, from the massacre on 8 September to the swearing in of #SushilaKarki by Himal engagement editor Sushim Thapaliya

Fragile China: who’s really in charge? Xi Jinping effectively vanished in July and the first half of August. Some China watchers speculated that his unexplained absence was a sign that he was losing his grip on power. But he has since reappeared...

There is renewed speculation about Xi’s health. In Tibet he looked ponderous and unsteady on his feet.

Plans for huge new Chinese embassy delayed by government Opposition from local residents, lawmakers and pro-democracy campaigners means planning approval has been delayed for the past three years.

A Chinese “mega embassy” in London risks espionage and surveillance, undermines diplomatic balance, and projects authoritarian power. Approving it would signal tolerance of China’s human rights abuses. Blocking it safeguards UK security, and democratic values

US tech companies enabled the surveillance and detention of hundreds of thousands in China U.S. technology firms such as IBM, Dell and Cisco largely designed and built China’s surveillance state, an AP investigation finds. The tech companies deny wrongdoing.

BBC World Service - Global News Podcast, Nepal's prime minister resigns as protests grow Nepal's prime minister resigns in the face of continuing anti-corruption protests

The Nepalese prime minister, K P Sharma Oli, has resigned amid public outrage over the killing of nineteen anti-corruption protesters on Monday. The demonstrations were triggered by his government's decision to ban social media platforms last week. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Gen Z stands up to expose corruption in Nepal Youth-led demonstrations against corruption erupted throughout Nepal on Monday September 8, 2025, resulting in at least 19 deaths and over 350 injuries.

The protests in Nepal, and the governments violent repression of them, are an increasingly important story right now. @globalvoices.org has reporting from Nepal on the "Nepo Kid" movement, including what the "international media" are getting wrong

Police in Nepal have used lethal force to suppress youth protests, killing at least 19 people and injuring over 300.

The “Gen Z”-led protests were organized following a widespread social media ban, with many also expressing anger about pervasive political corruption and nepotism in government.

Nepal officials reject Chinese claim on GSI ‘Why should we issue a statement when we’ve not even discussed GSI and GCI?’ says a Nepali delegate in China.

The Kathmandu Post
kathmandupost.com/national/202...

Nepal shouldn’t join China’s GSI and GCI because it could pull the country too close to Beijing, upset India and Western partners, and weaken Nepal’s tradition of staying neutral while risking its independence in regional politics.

Nepal to track movement of all foreign visitors Foreign nationals visiting the country must register on a new digital platform from September 17.

The Kathmandu Post
kathmandupost.com/national/202...

Nepal’s move to track all foreign visitors has two sides. On the plus side, it can boost safety, help in emergencies, and keep tourism more organised. But it might also feel restrictive, hurt the free travel feel, and raise privacy concerns.

New Everest permit fee of $15,000 takes effect Xenon-assisted British team yet to seek Everest success certificate. Nepal hasn’t decided if the climbs are valid.

kathmandupost.com/money/2025/0...

The extra funds will help the much needed cleanup, safety, and keeping things sustainable, while free permits for smaller peaks will spread tourism around. It won’t stop rich climbers, but if the money’s well spent, it’s a win for Nepal.
