I'm very happy to see that the key step of naming a prime minister who will form a government has been taken in Nepal. There was a multitude of ways that this could have gone sideways in the last couple of days. Sushila Karki is the country's 1st woman PM! nepalitimes.com/news/madam-p...

Fantastic deep dive into this topic that has been making headlines for years: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/educa...

Nepal’s home minister has resigned after the callous killing by security forces Monday of 19 young protesters. It’s too soon to know if protests will continue Tuesday but this article is a good primer on the roots of the ‘GenZ protest’ kathmandupost.com/national/202...

www.thewhig.com/opinion/wors... “What we’re watching in Gaza is everyone wasting away. And we are clearly at a tipping point now,” Save the Children Canada President and CEO Danny Glenwright said of the starvation crisis unfolding in the war-torn Palestinian enclave.

Nepali cooks working in New Delhi were the first migrants from Nepal to settle legally in Japan, says Tokyo-based Dipesh Kharel in the new episode of @nepalnowpod.bsky.social. Listen to his 'cook connection' theory 👇

This is a great primer on recent migration of Nepalis to Japan. Hint: food is involved 😀

Nepal's health community is making huge efforts to reach the Sustainable Development Goals for maternal & newborn deaths by 2030. But after decades of swift progress, improvement has slowed. Cuts in funding from the Nepal government and donors, including USAID, make it even tougher. bit.ly/3GGf2JI
