So nothing changes. An autocratic regime continues and blames the political opposition labelling them anti-democratic and anti-liberation. Bangladesh desperately needs new political leadership that is divorced from poisonous politics of the past
I'm at a loss for words to describe this. Not once did Hasina mention the students who lost their lives during the recent protests during her latest presser with business leaders. The police killed at least 170 students (the actual number is likely higher), but she didn't express
