Life in Kathmandu After Nepal's Two-day War

from Over Here, Over There: International Politics & Culture Podcast · host Dan Harris and Claudia Koestler

My multi-talented #podcast colleague, #Claudia #Koestler, is fearless. Thinking she would have an intriguing and relaxing holiday in #Nepal (and other #South Asian countries), upheaval and unrest followed her arrival in that mystical country. Instead of barricading herself in her hotel room, she headed into #Kathmandu's streets in true consummate journalistic fashion to witness the widespread protests, the collapse of the government, and the ensuing #military takeover, which has now restored some semblance of order. As Claudia reports, after 25 deaths from live ammunition (the most in Nepal's history) and the burning down of government buildings and the old regime's residences, #Nepal’s former Chief Justice #Sushila #Karki, a reformer and bulwark against corruption, has now been sworn in as the interim President. Catch Claudia's fascinating update in this latest 'Over Here, Over There' episode, and her insight as to why revolution in this #Himalayan country concerns us all. Please don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it. Thank you!
