NEPAL THIS WEEK
Impact of US AID suspension, MoU with China to boost ethnic ties, Protests over Prathibhara Cable Car, and Concerns Over Nepal’s Social Media Bill
Abhishikta S. Kumar, Devika K, Ditipriya Ghosh
Five major developments took place Nepal last week. First, the suspension of US aid under President Trump’s administration halting critical health surveys, raising concerns about Nepal’s healthcare progress. Second, Nepal and China signed a MoU aimed at strengthening ethnic ties through cultural exchanges, education, and policy learning. Third, protests escalated over the Pathibhara cable car project, with demonstrators arguing it threatens the sacred site of the Limbu community. Fourth, controversy intensified over the nomination process for the Vice-Chancellor position at Kathmandu University, with allegations of favoritism and political interference. Fifth, concerns were raised over Nepal’s proposed Social Media Bill and amendments to the Nepal Police Act, as critics warned they could restrict free speech and increase political control over law enforcement.
POLITICS
In the grey, again
On 24 February 2025, The Kathmandu Post reported on the corruption and political interference that have contributed to the decision of Nepal being on the FATF grey list again. The image of that country and prospects for investment and growth will suffer if it continues to resist the proposed reforms. This harms its international reputation, discourages investment, and weakens its standing. Stronger enforcement and political commitment are needed to exit the list.
Koshi Protesters Shift Focus to Pathibhara Cable Car Project
On 24 February, The Kathmandu Post reported that protesters initially focused on renaming Koshi Province have now shifted their attention to opposing the Pathibhara cable car project in Taplejung. Many allege that this shift is an attempt to use religious issues to maintain political relevance. However, representatives of the campaign have defended the protests by stating that their concerns are genuine and not just a tactic to stay relevant. The Koshi protests began after 1 March 2023, when the provincial assembly named Province 1 as Koshi by completely disregarding the identities of various ethnic communities in the region. Clashes have since broken out between the "No Cable Car" group and security personnel. Protesters argue that Pathibhara is a sacred site for the Limbu community and should be preserved in its original state. While various committees and groups have united in opposition to the project, elected representatives and local leaders are alleged to be in favor of the cable car initiative.
Maoist Centre launches public engagement campaign
On 25 February, The Kathmandu Post reported that the opposition party CPN (Maoist Centre) launched the "Tarai-Madhesh Awakening Campaign" on 24 February 2025 to boost its connection with the public. The campaign aims to lay the groundwork for a "socialist revolution" by protecting the constitution, ensuring good governance and social justice, and rallying against what the party describes as a "threat of regression." Several party leaders and office bearers will participate in this campaign, which is set to conclude on 20 March. Political analyst Bhim Bhurtel views this initiative as a positive development in parliamentary democracy.
Concerns over proposed Social Media Bill
On 1 March, The Himalayan Times reported that experts and free speech advocates have raised concerns over the proposed Social Media Bill. They argue that its provisions could curtail free speech and are overlapping in nature. Critics also warn that such measures contribute to the shrinking of civil space in Nepal. While the bill includes positive aspects such as the registration of social networking platforms, establishment of an institutional mechanism, regulation, and enforcement of Supreme Court orders, they also highlight its lack of conceptual clarity and the absence of proper definitions which raises concerns over its potential misuse. ("Experts Suggest Correction in Social Media Bill," The Himalayan Times, 1 March 2025, https://thehimalayantimes.com/nepal/experts-suggest-correction-in-social-media-bill)
Ruling parties explore ‘strategies’ to pass ordinances
On 2 March, The Kathmandu Post reported that the ruling party faced opposition from the JSP-Nepal and the LSP over a land-related amendment. The party in power in Nepal is attempting to pass six ordinances. The government is thus under pressure to amend the Political Parties Act 2017 and probably manoeuvre the smaller parties into backing these ordinances before they lapse because it lacks a majority in the National Assembly.
SOCIETY
Kathmandu University VC appointment delays spark controversy
On 27 February, The Kathmandu Post reported that eight out of the ten candidates for the Vice-Chancellor (VC) position at Kathmandu University wrote to the Prime Minister, questioning the role of the selection coordinator and seeking intervention to prevent further delays in the appointment process. They alleged that Suresh Raj Sharma, who currently leads the selection committee, is engaging in favoritism and not adhering to the established selection guidelines or criteria. Additionally, 13 officials submitted a joint letter urging a swift nomination, emphasizing that prolonged delays are raising concerns about the committee's efficiency and impartiality. The selection process has been degraded by issues such as a lack of transparency and increasing controversy.

Divorce rate on rise
On 2 March, The Rising Nepal published an article by the author Nilima Adhikari that there is a rise in Divorce cases in Nepal, and according to the Kathmandu District Court, 4,464 divorce cases were registered in 2023/24, and 3,948 were given the final verdict. This shows the increase in the willingness to leave unhappy marriages. Divorce is now the third most common type of case in courts, after banking offenses and cheque bounce cases in Nepal. There are increasing numbers of women not willing to suffer from the abuses anymore, though Madhes province is still supportive of reconciliation. Moreover, "grey divorce" is becoming very common, as older couples are separated once the children have all become independent.

Ethnic governance within their legal frameworks as they share the best practices on managing these ethnic diversities. Educational exchanges, academic and cultural collaborations and youth engagements are the main objectives of this agreement, thus deepening the relations beyond trade and infrastructure.
US aid suspension halts Nepal's health surveys
On February 28, The Kathmandu Post reported that the recent suspension of US foreign aid under President Donald Trump's administration has led to an indefinite halt of several critical health programs in Nepal. This disruption follows Trump's executive order pausing all American assistance funded by or through the State Department and USAID for 90 days, impacting multiple projects ranging from health to agriculture in Nepal. One of the affected programs is an independent study that the Ministry of Health and Population had planned to assess the effectiveness of female community health volunteers across the country in the current fiscal year. Many other programmes such as the planned micronutrient survey and the health facilities survey, have also been impacted by the US government's decision to suspend financial assistance. Experts warn that this halt will have long-term consequences, leaving Nepal in the dark regarding its healthcare progress and missing crucial new data. The situation highlights the urgent need for the government to allocate sufficient funds for independent studies when designing healthcare programs.
India, Nepal to sign MoU to strengthen cooperation on drinking water, sanitation and hygiene
On March 1, The Tribune reported that India and Nepal will sign the MOU on 3 March. The ceremony for the signing of the MoU is where Yadav will sign on behalf of the Government of Nepal while CR Patil will sign on behalf of India as a Minister for Water Supply.

National Debt touches Nu 293 billion
It was in 2024 that Bhutan's national debt scaled to Nu 292.74 billion, roughly around 97.1 percent of the country's calculated gross domestic product (GDP). The subgroup of sole traders and traders alike took in mostly the shadow economy which interrupted the central to the level of economic growth. Citizens who did not immigrate generally had human capital, which accounted for the remaining percentage of the wealth. This effect was close to an irritant that takes away from the overall performance on the one hand, but on the other hand, it was a wake-up call for the economy when salaries climbed and employment cut unemployment rates down-to the central bank dispelling the management of interest rates through bond purchases. Budgetary support from international lenders and hydropower projects were the main drivers for a nearly Nu 5.23 billion increase in government debt at Nu 246.22 billion a year later.

On glaciers, need for clarity
The rapid melting of Bhutan's glaciers confronts 700,000 people who depend on them and 1.6 billion people downstream. At the Paro Forum 2025, Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay raised concerns about this and pointed out that something urgent needs to be done. With over 7,399 sources of water in Bhutan, with nearly 1,600 of them encountering drying conditions and glaciers retreating at a rate of up to 35 meters a year, the country faces challenges ahead. Even though Bhutan itself accounts for very low emissions owing to little industrial activity, it is one of the hardest-hit countries by climate change as a consequence of industrial countries.

The Rise of New Student Parties, Bangladesh’s Democratic Decline and Border Tensions
Emma Rose Boby, Souparno Rakshit, Souparnika Suresh
There were three major developments in Bangladesh this week. First, the rise of two new student parties, BCGS led by Abu Bakar Mazumdar and NCP led by Nahid Islam. Second, Bangladesh being in 100th position in the EIU’s Democracy Index 2024, with claims that they are now following a hybrid regime. Third, border tensions have once again arisen between India and Bangladesh due to smuggling.
POLITICS
Rise of new student parties in Bangladesh
On 26 February, “Bangladesh Gonotantrik Chhatra Songshod”, a new student organization was launched, with Abu Bakar Mazumdar as its convener, however the party is facing issues due to allegedly not accepting students from private universities. Alongside this, on 28 February, Nahid Islam launched the “National Citizens Party”, which is student-led, in order to bring about a free Bangladesh. Nahid Islam used to previously work in Mohammed Yunus’ interim government.

Toxic Student Politics: A new uprising lacking unity
On 26 February, a new Anti-Discrimination student movement was launched. Abu Bakar Mazumdar has been appointed as the convener and Zahid Ahsan as the member secretary. Tahmid Al Mudassir has been assigned as the chief organizer, and Ashrefa Khatun has been given the responsibility of spokesperson .The name of the organization was been declared at Madhur Canteen .The movement faced criticism as it has been not inclusive enough to include the students of private universities. This led to widespread tension and friction as this left several injured, including female students and two hospitalized. The anguish was demonstrated as a form of hour-long protest by blocking the Bangla Motors intersection. The whole allegation put forward by the private universities was denied by the BGCS (Bangladesh Gonotantrik Chhatra Songshod) allowing speculation on whether it was miscommunication or divisive politics. It is time tested that until and unless an uprising sports a strong sense of inclusivity , democracy and free from factionalism the rise might fade soon.

Bangladesh’s democratic decline in EIU’s Democracy Index 2024
On 28 February, the Daily Star reported Bangladesh's deep plunge in the Democracy Index, 2024 by the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU). This has come in the aftermath of the general election in January, 2024 when the country witnessed suppression of political dissent, rigged elections and restriction of media freedom by the previous ruling party, the Awami League. Bangladesh is now classified as a hybrid regime which essentially underscores irregularities in elections with a score of 4.44 that pushed the country to the lower end of the classification. Several youth-led initiatives after the ousting of prime minister Hasina has helped foster a sense of change and agency, highlighting the increasing disappointment with mainstream political parties.

On 22 February, Deccan Herald reported that more than 2000 Indians have been lured by scam companies for cyber scam operations. They were persuaded by fake job offers and were forced to do fraud works. The embassy said that about 600 Indians have been rescued so far from Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. Moreover, the report mentions that some of them have been working in their own will, and they will face legal consequences.

Return of Chinese scam workers
On 22 February, The CNA reported that third batches of Chinese Scam workers numbering over 100 were returned by Myanmar. They were sent back via the Thailand-Myanmar Friendship Bridge 2. Thai deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai describing this issue as 'complex transnational crime', stopped fuel and electricity supply to these scam hubs and instructed the police to strengthen border control. Guo Jiakun, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson acknowledged the cooperation between China, Thailand and Myanmar in dealing with the scam centers.

Many rescued from Myanmar Scam Centers face delayed return
On 26 February, The VOA was informed by Lt Col. Naing Maung Zaw, the Karen BGF spokesperson regarding the slow repatriation process of the Scam center workers. Thousands of them are staying in temporary shelters in Myanmar due as a result of the pending review and action by the military authorities. The workers are mostly from the Southeast Asian countries and few African countries. China considers the rescued workers as suspected criminals rather than victims. China's Ministry of Public Security has been playing a key role in fragmenting the cyber scams networks along the Thai-Myanmar border. Jason Tower, the Myanmar country director for the U.S Institute of Peace stated- "the campaign is the most aggressive crackdown seen along the Thailand-Myanmar border". Thai military cuts and Beijing's pressure have challenged criminal networks, but sustained efforts are needed to prevent their resurgence. Despite aggressive crackdowns, scam syndicates persist by relocating to new hubs such as Cambodia, Laos or Dubai, with impunity remaining a significant challenge.

While communicating to a refugee committee, International Rescue Committee’s Thailand director Darren Hertz stated that, some healthcare services such as primary care and medical supplies will continue in refugee camps, although others, including hospital referrals, family planning, and mental healthcare, will have to stop. It's uncertain what will happen if funds run out by the end of March.

Chinese Security Firms Threaten Myanmar’s Sovereignty: Dr. Miemie Winn Byrd
On 1 March, The Irrawaddy published an interview between Ei Kay Kyaw and Dr. Miemie Winn Byrd, a retired U.S Army Lieutenant Colonel about threat posed by Chinese security companies in Myanmar. She opined that China would protect its local interest and will make Myanmar a ‘client state’. She warns that these firms are staffed with Chinese military officers and is a threat to Myanmar’s sovereignty. She opines that China’s motive in Myanmar is to secure alternative trade routes and reduce dependence in Malacca Strait for energy imports. She also said that pro-democracy forces in Myanmar should work together to curb growing Chinese footprints.

Arakan Army renews attacks on Kyaukphyu in Myanmar
On 1 March, The Irrawaddy reported that the Kyaukphyu township and naval base became the new target of Arakan army after over a year without attacks. The reason behind the resumption of clashes is a junta's law allowing armed Chinese security firms in Myanmar to be stationed to protect Chinese projects, which include Oil and gas pipelines, a deep seaport, and a special economic zone in Kyakphyu. The report also mentions that currently only Kyaukphyu, the state capital Sittwe and Manaung remain under junta control in Rakhine state. The crisis is getting tense as clashes between the Arakan Army and its allies have also been reported in several villages in Thabaug township, Ayeyarwady Region.

Lawless border and Poor conduct
On 27 February an editorial in the New York Times highlighted the conditions in the scam centers near the border regions of Myanmar involving the suspected Chinese workers. There have been increasing flights' service for rescuing the scam center workers. Recently the workers have been facing offensives and subject to torture creation a situation of humanitarian crisis. China, Thailand and Myanmar are working in a cooperative manner in this regard, with China playing a major role. Reflecting on the remarks by the stranded workers and the dire situation, Saw Kapi, the founding director of the Salween Institute for Public Policy said- "it necessitates confronting the root causes such as failure in governance, corruption and the entanglement of organised crime with political and economic interests." Ethnic minority militias in Myanmar, controlling areas near the Thai border, have been implicated in illicit activities, including fraud, drugs, and wildlife trafficking. They provide muscle for these operations, often leasing land to Chinese companies. Lt Colonel Naing Maung Zaw of the Karen BGF stated that the raids were conducted due to reports of foreigners being held against their will and abused, not because of pressure from China. Many scam center escapees still view the tortures and offensives as nightmare.

Worsening Human Rights situation
On 28 February, the United Nations reported that there has been an escalation in the human rights crises in Myanmar. UNHRC chief Volker Turk said- "The Human Rights situation in Myanmar is among the worst in the world" describing the conditions as repetitions of human suffering. An approximate of 3.5 million people are displaced, 15 million face hunger, and a couple million at a risk of famine with more than thousands of Rohingya feeding to the bordering countries. Mr. Turk condemned the junta for activating conscription laws, leading to arbitrary arrests and forced recruitments, which had driven many to flee and face trafficking risks. He emphasized the need for international action to address the humanitarian, political and economic instability in the region. He called for an arms prohibition and targeted sanctions, including on jet fuel and dual-use goods, to protect Myanmar's people.

Thailand deported Uyghers to China despite criticism
On 28 February 2025, The Irrawaddy published a report by AFP that Thailand had deported 40 people from Uyghur ethnic group to China. They had done this despite the warning from various human rights groups about the risk of persecution as China had been accused of committing violence in Xinjiang, including the confinement of around one million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities. Many say that those fled China before a decade fearing persecution. The National Police chief said that China had agreed to take care of them and moreover, Uyghurs didn’t resist sending them back. (AFP, “Thailand Deports Dozens of Uyghurs to China”, The Irrawaddy, 28 February 2025, https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/asia/thailand-deports-dozens-of-uyghurs-to-china.html)
