See Kathmandu's destroyed and barricaded streets after violence
See Kathmandu's destroyed and barricaded streets after violence There's a real sense of tension in Kathmandu, the BBC's Samira Hussain says, after protests against corruption spiralled into arson and violence. Nepal's army deployed patrols on the streets, as the Himalayan nation reeled from its worst unrest in decades. The prime minister quit and politicians' homes were vandalised, and government buildings and parliament were torched. The streets of Nepal's capital have a heavy military presence, with barricades erected outside parliament and the supreme court. The military parade was attended by world leaders including Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un and showcased China's new weapons.
