https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/asia/nepal-protests-gen-z-outcome-intl-hnk Nepalese youth were feeling economic pressure with at 20 percent unemployment among dissatisfaction over corruption and other issues and a social media ban and then goverment forces shooting protests was the last straw. 19 dead at least. Prime minister resigned and members of the government fleeing by helicopters. Apparently the army and protester leaders are holding talks. Seems that other recent events such as the protests in Indonesia overshadowed the build up to the current events in Nepal.
 
Has a single leader emerged among the anti-government people?
 
Current frontrunner is a retired Chief Justice who's seen as anti-corruption.
 
Yep, the former justice is now interim PM, protest leaders sat down and discussed with the military. New elections expected in about 7 months, after she's had time to clean up and get the basics running again.

Is the military going to stand by and lose whatever power they have?

They actually sat down with the protest leaders and helped set up the terms for the discord election.
