Excellent answer!

Does someone have a good guide? The guides I find are a few years old. I will relay this to them in the meantime

Wow, where do they live?

the stuff I’ve read indicated that she was actually quite popular, within the context of the country’s incredibly polarized politics.

Bangladesh has a very poor press freedom ranking and people have been persecuted for posting on social media. My impression is that she was despised, or at best tolerated

Having her toppled by a mob like this… while hoping for the best for Bangladesh, I can’t help but feel quite pessimistic for the future of the country. For one thing, there’s the distinct possibility that this is a military coup disguised as a popular insurrection. Hope that’s not the case.

I would come to the same conclusion if I had not followed this for the past dew weeks. It sounds like a coup from the headline.

I’m cautiously optimistic. The country has a chance for the first time in decades to establish a proper democracy, weed out corruption, and restore press freedoms. Anything can happen in a power vacuum, but I remain hopeful.

This is common across all cultures, the youth are always called “disrespectful” relative to the older generation.

Access to global media may have caused a more drastic change in some regions

Redgifs appears to be lewd NSFW content only. Do they allow other content?

I am curious too. It has been hard to get much information out between the internet shutdown, the language barrier, and the lack of press freedoms. I will post a link if I find anything!

This happened 30 minutes ago and details may change rapidly over the next few hours. See the link above. I’m not in Bangladesh. I hear that people in the country are relieved, and cautiously optimistic.


Key points:

  • PM has resigned
  • local media reports she fled the country
  • protestors stormed her compound
  • interim government is being created

Statement by Chief of Army Staff

  • representatives from all major parties were present in discussions for interim government
  • army will begin investigations on all deaths and crimes during the protest. This should include the extrajudicial killings

Concerns

  • fear of violence against the supporters of the ruling party

Some of the videos are on Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram. They don’t work well when shared elsewhere.

I want to download the video and reupload it in a better place
