Pawan Sharma, 20, a student who participated in a Gen-Z protest, poses for a photograph while standing in the middle of a road as he takes part in a cleaning campaign following Monday’s deadly anti-corruption protests in Kathmandu, Nepal, September 10, 2025. “I was there in parliament house and saw people getting shot in front of me, said Pawan Sharma. This protest is about the corruption in the country. Now we have thrown out the government completely. We got what we wanted. My hope is to have new, elected leaders… We don’t want old leaders.” REUTERS/Adnan Abidi
