Bangladesh is currently experiencing widespread unrest as protesters demand the government’s resignation. Prime Minister Hasina has been criticized for using excessive force to suppress the movement, with accusations of human rights abuses. The situation escalated as demonstrations spread nationwide, blocking major highways and leading to violent clashes.
Prime Minister Hasina referred to the protesters as “terrorists” seeking to destabilize the nation and urged citizens to suppress them. Tragically, the unrest has already resulted in multiple casualties, including construction workers killed in clashes and attacks on hospitals.
Internet shutdowns have also occurred, limiting access to communication platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp. This is not the first time Bangladesh has faced such turmoil, as previous protests over government job quotas led to hundreds of deaths and injuries.
Despite initial progress when the Supreme Court scrapped most quotas, the unrest continues as students seek justice for those affected. The situation remains tense, highlighting the challenges facing Bangladesh’s political stability.
