Kathmandu (AFP) – Nepal's president and army sought on Friday to find a consensus interim leader to fill a political vacuum after deadly anti-corruption protests toppled the government and left parliament in flames.

The Himalayan nation of 30 million people was plunged into chaos this week after security forces tried to crush rallies by young anti-corruption protesters, culminating in widespread violence on Tuesday.

At least 51 people were killed in the worst violence since the end of a Maoist civil war and abolition of the monarchy in 2008.

The military took back control of the streets on Wednesday, enforcing a curfew, as army chief General Ashok Raj Sigdel and President Ramchandra Paudel held talks with key figures and representatives from "Gen Z", the loose umbrella title of the youth protest movement.

Disagreements between rival factions remain, although Sushila Karki, 73, Nepal's first woman chief justice, is a leading candidate.

"A meeting has been scheduled for this afternoon with the president, the army chief, former chief justice Sushila Karki, our representative Sudan Gurung and one legal expert," Nimesh Shrestha, who was part of the Gen Z protest, told AFP.

Karki has told AFP that "experts need to come together to figure out the way forward", and that "the parliament still stands".

Gurung, the youth activist, told reporters on Thursday that their "first demand is the dissolution of parliament".

Paudel issued a statement to the nation on Thursday saying that "a solution to the problem is being sought, as soon as possible".

The army patrolled the largely quiet streets of the capital Kathmandu for a third day on Friday, after the protests and nationwide chaos that included a mass breakout of prisoners.

"I was very afraid and stayed locked inside my home with family and didn't leave," said Naveen Kumar Das, a painter-decorator in his mid-40s.

He was among many ordinary residents of Kathmandu who took advantage of a brief lifting of the curfew in the morning to stock up on supplies.

Food stores, tea stalls and pharmacies bustled with customers after people spent days inside.

"It was a really tense time and we just stayed indoors," said Laxmi Thapa, 32, on a motorbike as her husband filled its fuel tank.

"We came out as things have improved."

At least 21 protesters were among those killed, mainly on Monday during a police crackdown on demonstrations against corruption and poor governance that was sparked by a ban on social media.

Protesters set parliament, major government buildings and a Hilton Hotel on fire on Tuesday, 73-year-old KP Sharma Oli resigned as prime minister, and the army then took charge of the streets.

Nepal's army said on Friday that it had recovered more than 100 guns looted in the uprising, during which protesters were seen brandishing automatic rifles.

More than 12,500 prisoners who escaped from jails across the country during the chaos "are still at large", police spokesman Binod Ghimire told AFP.

Protests fed into longstanding economic woes in Nepal, where more than two-fifths of people are aged between 16 and 40.

Discussions are still heated among Gen Z ranks as they seek a radical political transition.

James Karki, 24, who was among the protesters, said he was hopeful for change.

"We started this movement so we could make a better Nepal," he said. "And I am positive that the army will listen."

Johannesburg (AFP) – South Africa's top court ruled Thursday that men should be able to take their wives' surnames and a law that prevented this amounted to unfair gender discrimination.

The Constitutional Court said the legal ban served no legitimate government purpose and was suspended, paving the way for parliament to enact amendments to the legislation.

While men were deprived of the ability to take their wives' surnames, the discrimination was "far more insidious" for women, the ruling said.

It "reinforces patriarchal gender norms, which prescribe how women may express their identity, and it makes this expression relational to their husband, as a governmental and cultural default," it said.

The case was brought to court by two couples, one of which wanted to honour the woman's parents who died when she was young. In the other case, the woman wanted to keep her ties to her family surname as she was an only child.

Previously, men would have to apply to the home affairs department to change their surname, a request that was not automatically granted.

Provisions allowing men to assume their wives' surname on marriage are already in place in other countries, mainly in Europe and in certain US states.
