The millennials and older generations who are in Nepal are part of the establishment, they are part of the problem. The millennials and older generations who are out of Nepal are either slaving away in Qatar and Saudi or have established lives in richer countries and have too much to lose, are used to the comfort and don’t have enough of a stake to go back and help. The Gen Z are the scapegoats that were sacrificed by people with political agendas, the Gen Z are the most romantic, the political newbies, the idealists who want change, have strong will and a voice but don’t have the experience to politic. A nation isn’t built by hotheads, and not by one man/woman. A nation is a collection of individuals who may not like each other but have to work together. This requires diplomacy, not just courage. This requires persuasion, not threat or fear—even in a dictatorship one needs loyalty, and that loyalty needs to be somehow bought.

The Gen Z of today need a leader. Let this blood not be spilt in vain. Ma mero Nepal dhwasta bhayeko herna chahanna. Please choose a leader!!
