Friday, 16 August 2024 () The political upheaval in Bangladesh presents China with a golden opportunity to expand its influence in South Asia and undercut India's ambitions.
Dramatic scenes unfolded in Dhaka as hundreds of student protesters and political activists armed with bamboo sticks, iron rods, and pipes launched a violent assault on supporters of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The violence escalated as protesters torched the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum, once the home of assassinated leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, during an uprising that has left the city in turmoil. With Hasina now in exile, the anniversary of Rahman's death has become a flashpoint for unrest, and the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus has canceled the national mourning day. Journalists were threatened, and chaos reigned as the protesters clashed with Hasina's supporters. Watch now to understand the full scale of the crisis gripping Bangladesh!
