Jonny Dymond chairs a panel from Nepal’s youth movement and the political establishment.

Last autumn Nepal’s youth uprising led to a ban on social media, an attack on parliament and multiple young deaths as police fired on protesters in the capital’s streets. The aims of Nepal’s Gen Z? Accountability for corruption; Jobs for the young; Freedom of Expression and Political Reform. The army brokered a deal with the leaders of the movement and the crisis ended with an interim government and the promise of new elections.
One month after those elections, what is the way forward for Nepal? Can a new government deliver on its promises? Will the young be satisfied? The BBC’s Jonny Dymond chairs a panel drawn from both Nepal’s youth movement and the political establishment as they debate questions from the public in Kathmandu.
