Nepal is strategically located between China and India. Since the constitution of 2015, it has been a federal parliamentary republic. Democracy is unstable because power constantly shifts between three parties.

Nepal has direct access to the Himalayan sources of Asia's "water towers." Rivers like the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Koshi, Gandaki, and Karnali nourish South Asia and supply hundreds of millions of people. Control over these resources is a strategic lever.

India relies on Nepal's water for agriculture and energy. Joint projects secure Delhi's influence. Nepal thus becomes a strategic linchpin between China and India.

The USA responds with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC, 500 million USD). Compared to China's investments, this is marginal. At the beginning of the year, Trump initially froze the project.

9. September: Storming of the Parliament, 72 dead, 2,100 injured. 12. September: KP Sharma Oli resigns. Transitional government under Sushila Karki via Discord election without democratic mandate, as the Gen-Z movement does not represent a democratic majority.

The "Hami Nepal" movement acted as an extended arm of external forces. It was supported by US-affiliated NGOs such as Free Tibet, Western corporations like Coca-Cola, and the Japanese company Rakuten (Viber).

External control clearly visible: Posters in English instead of Nepali, international revolutionary symbols like the fist and One-Piece hat. Everything points to a staging for international audiences, as has already been seen in Pakistan and other states in the region.

Victoria Nuland, US Undersecretary of State, exerted pressure years earlier that Nepal must choose between the USA and China. US influence was noticeable and prepared over years.

The Discord election on September 12 Sushila K as interim prime minister, who is Western-oriented. No democratic mandate, but immediate recognition by the USA and Japan, as well as by Kaja Kallas. A clear sign of prior agreements

Local politicians joined in: Kathmandu Mayor Balen Shah was actively involved and used his US contacts to support the protests. Other youth leaders were also strategically deployed.

Nepal's strategic: water, infrastructure, Himalayan location. Whoever has control has leverage over large parts of South Asia. The color revolution shifted this power in favor of Western interests.

The color revolution followed clearly recognizable Western patterns: social media mobilization, international funding, immediate recognition, and staging for global media.

Nepal fell victim to a US containment strategy against China. The color revolution was not an organic protest, but an orchestrated power shift in favor of a regime that is amenable to US interests vis-à-vis China.

Nepal's sovereignty has been sacrificed. What was sold as a youth protest was a color revolution following a Western model. Control over water, infrastructure, and politics is now partially in Western hands – the democratic will of the population has been ignored.
