"We are in the heart of Kathmandu. There is a prison riot going on behind me, where prisoners are trying to escape because there are no police stopping them. Now the army has moved in and (is) trying to get them inside the prison."

"The Army, which is usually confined to the barracks, moved in since Tuesday night and today Wednesday, there’s been some sense of control returned to the city of Kathmandu, which has been under violent protest for the last two days. That began with protests by the young generation against the government ban on the social media, which quickly spread to protests against corruption and against the political parties. And then there was the attacks on politicians’ houses, the big businesses, big political party leaders have been coming under attack, their houses have been burned, the Supreme Court has been burned, the parliament has been burnt, the Prime Minister’s office has been burned, the President’s house has been burned. So right now, the future of Nepal – or what’s next – is still not clear, and even not clear who’s in control right now."

STORYLINE:
Nepalese soldiers guarded the streets of the country’s capital on Wednesday and ordered people to stay at home as they moved to restore order after tens of thousands of protesters stormed and set fire to government buildings and attacked politicians.
Armed troops guarding the main areas of Kathmandu appeared to give some sense of control returning to the city that was engulfed in violence and chaos in the previous days. Soldiers told residents about the curfew in place as they checked vehicles and people.
The army warned late Tuesday that security forces were committed to preserving law and order. The military is rarely mobilized in Nepal and initially stayed in the barracks as police failed to control the situation. An army statement said 27 suspected looters have been arrested.
Soldiers fired into the air on Wednesday after prisoners overpowered police guards and tried to escape from the main jail in the heart of Kathmandu.
The prisoners set fire to buildings with cells and guard houses and broke down the main entrance before pouring into the streets. The soldiers were able to block the escape attempt and transferred the prisoners to different jails. There were no injuries reported.
