？？Nepal’s prime minister lost a vote of confidence in the country’s Parliament on Friday, throwing the Himalayan country into political disarray as it tries to manage a spate of devastating natural disasters.

       Pushpa Kamal Dahal, a guerrilla fighter turned politician, lost control of the government when his coalition partners turned on him after a fractious alliance collapsed.

       Friday’s vote of confidence was the fifth Mr. Dahal has faced during his 18 months in office. He became Nepal’s 13th prime minister in 16 years when his current term began in December 2022, but he had led the country twice before, from 2008 to 2009 and from 2016 to 2017.
