Bangladesh's Political Turmoil
The recent political unrest in Bangladesh is characterized by mass protests, the jailing of political opponents, and growing public discontent about the lack of representation for opposition voices. The genesis of this upheaval can be traced back to Sheikh Hasina's prolonged rule of over 15 years, during which civil liberties have been curtailed. The protests initially arose from dissatisfaction with a quota system tied to government employment for families of freedom fighters, which many perceived as exclusionary. As discontent brewed, a broader struggle for political change emerged, igniting widespread demonstrations across the country.
