Nepal's first woman prime minister was sworn into office on Friday on an interim basis, as calm has returned to the country following mass protests that caused the previous government to collapse. On Saturday, authorities lifted a curfew implemented earlier in the week in the country's capital and surrounding areas.
President Ram Chandra Poudel appointed former Supreme Court Chief Justice Sushila Karki as interim prime minister and the first woman to head the Himalayan nation's government.
