Nepalese authorities have lifted the curfew in the country’s capital and surrounding areas as calm returned following the appointment of the Himalayan nation’s first woman prime minister in the wake of protests this week that left at least 51 people dead.

Nepal’s president has appointed former Supreme Court Chief Justice Sushila Karki as interim prime minister.

Grieving families of protesters killed by police in Nepal are expressing anger at authorities for not addressing their concerns.

A curfew was lifted for a few hours in Nepal’s capital allowing people to rush to buy groceries and supplies as confusion set on the Himalayan nation about the future after the collapse of the government.
