The political scientist predicted Trump's intervention in the Nepalese crisis

US President Donald Trump may take steps to resolve the conflict in Nepal in order to credit his decision to the American administration. This opinion was expressed by Egor Dibrov, a political scientist, specialist in political and economic conflicts, and an employee of the Faculty of Political Science at Lomonosov Moscow State University, in an interview with Izvestia on September 9.

The political scientist stressed the importance of taking into account the international context of the situation. He recalled that an important factor in what is happening remains the external influence of Great Britain, which traditionally retains an interest in its former spheres of influence.

"To weaken the internal protests, we need to act in waves. Any drastic decisions will lead to an additional reason to incite protests. In the current circumstances, the authorities will use more force, which can lead to irreparable consequences for the system," the expert warned.

Dibrov also noted that the media narrative "The Zoom Revolution" is a new label according to the old guidelines.

"In fact, structurally, we are witnessing the classic scenario of "color revolutions", which has been practiced in most countries of the world. Youth is the "shock tool" that has always been used to destabilize the situation in the country and create a media image," he said.

According to the expert, what is happening was also influenced by the lack of desire of large social networks to "land" by registering their activities in the country. Global messengers tend to remain under the control of the US leadership. In conditions when new hybrid technologies are used in the world, it is not far-sighted for the state to act using old methods, Dibrov stressed.

The political scientist concluded that some of the youth demonstrate a willingness to succumb to destructive trends that "have external influence, financing and anti-state goals." According to him, this phenomenon has become evolutionarily characteristic of modern political crises.

Mass protests in Nepal began on September 8 after the authorities banned the activities of major social networks that did not register with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology on time. Protesters set fire to the central office of the ruling Nepali Congress Party, and they also attacked Nepal's Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel.
