After the incidents ten days ago in Nepal, the new prime minister, Sushila Karki, a former chief magistrate, said she had accepted the new post reluctantly. The main political parties maintain that the process is unconstitutional. Less than 48 hours after being sworn in, Sushila Karki promised last Sunday that she would relinquish power within six months, when new elections are held.

Nepalese Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli resigned Tuesday amid an outbreak of mass protests that have resulted in the deaths of at least 25 people due to police repression. Nineteen people died on Monday and another six today, Tuesday, according to Efe. In addition, 90 protesters are receiving medical treatment in various hospitals. The political crisis the country is experiencing is unprecedented since the establishment of the federal republic in 2008.
