An explosive new wave of allegations claims Washington is quietly bankrolling fresher unrest in Nepal — funneling staggering sums into youth- and civil-society programs while infrastructure aid tied to the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) quietly limps forward. Reports show the $500-million MCC compact ratified in 2022 has so far seen only a small fraction of funds disbursed — roughly US$43.1 million by early 2025 — even as governance and youth-engagement projects continue under extended timelines.

Investigations and leaked documents cited by several outlets say the larger US assistance package — which critics place at nearly one trillion dollars when MCC, USAID, and allied programs are combined — channels significant resources into projects run by the CEPPS consortium (National Democratic Institute, International Republican Institute, and International Foundation for Electoral Systems). These initiatives explicitly target youth engagement, party democracy, and media development.

While officially framed as civic and health programs, intelligence sources warn that such efforts risk shaping political narratives and mobilizing disaffected youths against the government.

Report from Indonesia-based Sindo News suggests that far from being neutral development projects, these programs form part of a broader US strategy to destabilize Nepal and, by extension, South Asia.

Sindo News said, a new report warns that Washington’s commitments are worth more than US$900 million for Nepal since 2020. It showed a deliberate US attempt to reshape the Himalayan country’s political order, amid mass protests that have swept the country.

The demonstrations, which killed at least a dozen people, destroyed government and commercial property, and led to the resignation of Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli (KP Sharma Oli), were widely seen as a response to corruption, unemployment and social media restrictions.

However, documents released by whistleblowers show years of US-funded programs aimed at reshaping Nepal’s political landscape. Launching Press TV, internal documents obtained by the Sunday Guardian reveal that since 2020, more than US$900 million in aid has been channeled to Nepal. USAID itself has committed USD402.7 million through the Development Goals Agreement (DOAG) signed........
