In Nepal, citizens went house-to-house to catch corrupt politicians and burn their houses
The images show how Nepal’s young generation carried out an effective and impressive protest, unlike the noisy and ineffective demonstrations in Western countries.
It began with a calm, polite sit-in. But when the government sent police to beat and arrest demonstrators, the youth struck back.
They stormed the prime minister’s and ministers’ homes, burned everything inside, and beat officials in the streets as the police had beaten them.
The result was immediate and complete: the corrupt government fled, ministers were placed under civilian arrest, and their property destroyed.
The army, in a rare move, defended the protesters against police violence, declaring its duty was to protect the citizens, not the government.
This is the model: protest peacefully at first, but switch to defensive violence when authorities cross the line and use force against civilians.
When the government breaks the law, the people have the right — and the duty — to defend themselves with every means.
In a democracy, the people are the masters, and when their servants attack them, they have the right to strike back and throw them out immediately.
This week, after the government blocked social media, tens of thousands of young people flooded the streets.
The government building and officials’ homes were set ablaze, the airport was shut down, and the prime minister resigned.
