#Nepal has continued its remarkable success in reducing poverty and has virtually eradicated extreme poverty. In 1995, an estimated 55 percent of Nepalis lived in extreme poverty, defined by the US$ 2.15 per day threshold. By 2023, this figure had plummeted to just 0.37 percent. https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/nepal/publication/unlocking-nepal-s-growth-potential?ref=fixthenews.com
By returning the stolen statue to Nepal but not disclosing that it was a gift from a major donor, the museum is “getting rid of a problematic object” while simultaneously “face-saving” its relationship with all donors, an art historian says.

> #Nepal has witnessed violent protests as pro-monarchy supporters demand the reinstatement of the monarchy and the declaration of Nepal as a Hindu state. Clashes between security forces and demonstrators in #Kathmandu have resulted in at least one fatality. Protesters have set houses and vehicles on fire, while also pelting stones at security personnel. https://siwansamachar.in/nepal-erupts-in-violence-as-pro-monarchy-supporters-clash-with-security-forces-curfew-imposed-in-several-regions/
Nepal has virtually eradicated extreme poverty. In 1995, an estimated 55% of Nepalis lived in extreme poverty, defined as living on less than $ 2.15 per day. By 2023, this figure had plunged to just 0.37% (!)
A key factor behind this remarkable decline is a substantial increase in remittances as a result of large-scale emigration. By 2023, remittances accounted for around a quarter of Nepal’s GDP, improving economic growth and lifting many out of poverty #Nepal #poverty https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/nepal/publication/unlocking-nepal-s-growth-potential
Mielenosoittajat vaativat monarkiaa takaisin Nepalissa
Poliisi käytti kyynelkaasua ja vesitykkejä mielenosoituksen hajottamiseksi Kathmandussa. Kaupunkiin on julistettu ulkonaliikkumiskielto.
Lost track of how many times today I've seen something out the window and thought, "But why?"
In our progress roundup, a Supreme Court and a Congress prune the advantage of business over other interests. In Nepal, the court scrapped a new law that would allow development in protected areas. And in Mexico, Congress tasked itself with more work to improve animal welfare. #Nepal #solutions #Mexico
