Context from Wikipedia on the organisations, people and places in this story.
People of Nepal
Nepalis are the citizens and nationals of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal under the Nepali nationality law. The term Nepali strictly refers to nationality, meaning people holding citizenship of Nepal. Conversely, people without Nepalese citizenship but with roots in Nepal, who speak Nepali or any of the other 128 Nepali languages but hold foreign citizenship, are referred to as Nepali-language speaking Foreigners. The term Nepali is also not generally used to refer to non-citizen residents, dual citizens, or expatriates.
