Political Unrest in Bangladesh

Recent protests in Bangladesh have escalated into significant political unrest, culminating in the Prime Minister's departure from the country after violent clashes. Over 100 people were reportedly killed in just one day as citizens defied curfews to call for change. The protests were driven by frustrations over a government quota system that many felt benefited politically connected families, specifically those of freedom fighters from the country's independence struggle. This situation reflects widespread discontent among the younger population, particularly students, who have been vocal about their demands for equal opportunities.
