Nepali exodus: dreams abroad amidst domestic struggles (photo story)

KATHMANDU: Leaving Nepal for foreign shores may not be an ideal choice, but the quest for employment opportunities often compels many to seek work abroad.

In recent times, the number of Nepalis searching for jobs overseas has significantly increased.

Many Nepalis find themselves compelled to go abroad in search of employment when they cannot secure jobs in their homeland.

The struggles faced by those unable to find work within the country are vividly seen in the emotional scenes at the Tribhuvan International Airport, where people spend hours crying and lamenting.

While some Nepalis dream of creating a better and happier life for their families and themselves, others return with experiences that haunt them for a lifetime. It’s not just about earning a living; some are burdened with loans taken for migration and end up engaging in illicit activities.

The focus should not solely be on those who have already migrated but also on preventing the aspiring workforce from facing such challenges.

The leadership, rather than being oblivious, needs to address the bitter truth that even those who have not left the country are struggling to find employment.

The plight of those who shed tears on foreign soil resonates with the pain of the entire nation.

Unfortunately, the leaders, rather than empathizing with the suffering nation, often get entangled in political power plays.

The sorrowful scenes at the airport are a stark reminder that the leaders, who seem to forget their promises, should pay attention to the nation that cries. The leaders need to realize that the pain of the crying nation cannot be brought closer just by shedding a few tears.

Leadership should be about fulfilling promises, not making empty rhetoric that is soon forgotten. The leaders, even those who have experienced the harshness of life abroad, should be reminded that the crying nation demands attention.

It is time to recognize that the future of the country is weeping today, and the leadership should not miss the opportunity to address it. The leaders must not only weep for the nation but also take concrete steps to secure the future within the homeland.

The stories of those who have returned after facing hardships abroad should serve as a lesson. Their struggles and experiences should prompt the leadership to focus on creating employment opportunities domestically.

While the nation is witnessing the sorrowful return of its people, the leaders, unfortunately, are not close enough to feel the pain. They should not forget that the future of the nation lies in securing its own future within its borders.

Leaders should refrain from making hollow promises and instead focus on nurturing skilled manpower domestically.

Rather than shedding tears for the present, leaders should work towards building a sustainable and prosperous future for the country.

In conclusion, the weeping nation demands the attention of its leaders, urging them to prioritize creating employment opportunities within the country over temporary emotional displays.

The leaders should understand that the tears shed today will not bring a brighter tomorrow for the nation
