I don’t ever recall seeing Nepal in the news that much, it doesn’t seem to be the sort of place where things happen, or maybe it’s just that media here doesn’t care about things happening there (much more likely, really). However, even western media are having trouble ignoring the strife there in recent days… with the government talking about banning social media, which turned into a protest against the government, which turned into a massacre with 19 dead, which turned into riots, which turned into the overthrow of said government, all in the space of a couple of days. I saw the above picture on Tumblr earlier today, a protestor who took on one of the riot cops and stole his gear from him, and whatever else may be said about the situation there right now, that is a hell of an image.
