Bangladesh was plunged into chaos on Sunday as violent protests swept through many cities, resulting in over 90 deaths and hundreds of injuries. The capital city of Dhaka was particularly affected, with police resorting to using tear gas and stun grenades to disperse tens of thousands of protesters demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The protests, which have been ongoing for weeks, have been fueled by allegations of corruption and government incompetence. Demonstrators have accused Hasina’s government of suppressing dissent and failing to address widespread poverty and unemployment in the country.
Sunday’s clashes between protesters and police marked a significant escalation in the violence, with reports of widespread destruction and chaos in the streets. The government has condemned the protests as illegal and has warned of consequences for those participating in the demonstrations.
The international community has expressed concern over the situation in Bangladesh, with calls for restraint and dialogue to resolve the crisis peacefully. As the death toll continues to rise and tensions escalate, the future remains uncertain for the people of Bangladesh.
