We need to be learning from this what happens when you topple a regime without a plan for what comes next. People who do have a plan are going to step in and take advantage, and the people who did all the work will have wasted their efforts making way for another tyrannical regime. It may have worked out (so far) for Nepal, but it’s not common for military leadership to relinquish power after they have it like they did there.
I wonder what the similarities are between Nepal and the Romanian revolution. That’s the only other one that comes to mind in which, as I understand it, the military defected to the side of the revolutionaries and then ceded power to a new regime
So far, the country was transformed into a military dictatorship… I hope, this is only stage 1…

Like China, it probably won’t get past step 1, because power corrupts everyone.
Or Myanmar a few years ago… They promised elections…
