There was this one moment yesterday when the last gasp of clouds were loitering above Shivapuri, and the city of Kathmandu lay low below the hills like a sleeping kitten.

My chai dude in Kathmandu.
I have mixed feelings about being back in Nepal. So many great people here, but also an incredible scale of poverty. Small things make a big impact here.

In Nepal's capital, young would-be voters line up enthusiastically to register for the first elections since deadly anti-corruption protests toppled the government. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/14/asia-pacific/politics/nepal-gen-z-uprising-vote/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #nepal
India's challenge is to maintain strategic autonomy and to promote its vision of a more inclusive, rules-based and connected South and Southeast Asia. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/10/05/world/indias-dangerous-neighborhood/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #india #nepal #thailand #indopacific #southeastasia #malaysia #cambodia #defense #china #pakistan #bangladesh #democracy
While Europeans and Americans are showing their frustration by choosing more extreme politics, there has been a surge in Gen Z demonstrations in Africa and Asia against aging leaders and corruption. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/05/world/gen-z-anger/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #morocco #bangladesh #nepal
Western media often portray violent uprisings and disasters in the Global South as heroic revolutions or tragic spectacles, applying double standards by portraying similar events at home through a different moral lens. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/10/03/world/media-hypocrisy-on-insurrections-and-revolutions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #globalsouth #media #nepal #philippines #madagascar #indonesia #thewest #africa #southamerica
Proud of my #Malagasy friends who took to the streets of #Antananarivo yesterday, as their president #Rajoelina was making up facts at the UN convention about imaginary improved access to electricity. It is VERY heartwarming to see #GenZ follow in the steps of #Nepal, from the #Onepiece avatars to, I hope, a less corrupt government. There had been zero #hope for so long and & lack of organising. Hope the tiny middleclass in #Madagascar can bring about change.

Nepal’s angry Gen Z protesters toppled a government, forcing India and China to rethink how they engage with a generation demanding jobs, accountability and an end to corruption. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/17/world/nepals-new-power-brokers-should-worry-china-and-india/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #nepal #india #china #genz #democracy
At least 72 people in Nepal were killed during chaos beginning on Sept. 8 as youth rallied against a government ban on social media, with the veteran prime minister ending up stepping down. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/16/asia-pacific/politics/wounded-nepali-protesters/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #nepal #kathmandu
Here's our interview with Mari Nishitani about her recent #cooperative research trip to rural #Nepal where she talked with members of two women's co-ops - one led by an NGO, and the other a grassroots project founded by Dalit women. 🇳🇵
