These are graves being dug for more than 160 innocent young girls who were killed in the US-Israeli bombing of a primary school. Their bodies were torn to shreds.
This is how "rescue" promised by Mr. Trump looks in reality.
From Gaza to Minab, innocents murdered in cold blood.
My heart goes out to the family and friends of Osman Hadi at the news of his passing after a brave struggle to recover from an assassin's bullet. He now enters the ranks of heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of their fellow Bangladeshi citizens.
The best way to honor him and frustrate the plans of his murderer is for all to recommit to the task of building Bangladesh 2.0 and fulfilling the aspirations of the July Revolution.
A luta continua.
I have been thinking about the incidents in Gopalgang involving the NCP march and the AL and security forces responses. First and foremost, it is outrageous for the AL supporters to try to equate what happened in Gopalgang with the regime's actions in July/Aug 2024.
While it may have been a deliberate provocation, the NCP (and others) certainly have a right to hold rallies and political activity anywhere in the country, including in Gopalgang. The NCP leadership and security forces should have anticipated a reaction from the AL supporters and been prepared for what ensued.
The AL supporters did not have a right to confront the NCP and security forces simply because of the perceived insult/challenge posed by the march. The AL was looking for a fight and got one. They are not blameless victims.
As with any incident that results in loss of life, it is appropriate to question the use of force by law enforcement agencies. There should be procedures to review and ensure that the security forces acted correctly. If they did not, there needs to be accountability and changes to SOPs.
In the coming weeks and months, there are likely to be other similar confrontations involving rival political factions as elections approach. The law enforcement agencies will need to plan appropriately to prevent violence and respond accordingly. This should be a priority for the IG.
It is clear that the AL's desire is to divert attention from their crimes and try to establish some type of moral equivalency with the IG. They want to undermine the July/August commemorations. The pro-democracy forces need to understand this and avoid playing into the hands of those who want to turn back the clock.
Taking national decisions sitting in #London has not been good for anyone. It has called into question the authority, stability and impartiality of the government. It should be clear whether the #government is just afraid of political power or will it show responsibility towards the people, students and the aspirations of #July.

Japan to recruit one lakh Bangladeshi workers in five years
Tokyo, May 29, 2025: Japanese authorities and businesses on Thursday announced plans to recruit at least 100,000 workers from Bangladesh in the next five years to meet the country's growing workers' shortage.
Speaking at a seminar titled, “Bangladesh Seminar on Human Resources”, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus said that the Interim Government of Bangladesh would do everything in its capacity to create the job opportunities for Bangladeshis in Japan.
“This is going to be the most exciting day for me, the most inspiring day. This will open the door for Bangladeshis to not only work but to know Japan,” said the Chief Adviser.
The Chief Adviser witnessed the signing of two Memorandum of Understanding – first between Bangladesh's Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET) and Kaicom Dream Street (KDS), a Japan-Bangladesh joint venture, and second between Bangladesh's BMET and Japan’s National Business Support Combined Cooperatives (a business federation with over 65 receiving companies operating in Japan) and JBBRA (Japan Bangla Bridge Recruiting Agency) at the event organised in Toshi Kaikan conference hall.
“This gathering is about opening the door,” said the Chief Adviser, noting that
Bangladesh is a country of 180 million people, and half of them are under 27.
“The government’s job is to open the door for them,” he said.
Mitsuru Matsushita, Representative Director of Supervising Organisation
Shizuoka Workplace Environment Improvement Cooperative said many Japanese companies are facing enquiries about Bangladeshis, and he believed this trend would continue.
“Bangladeshi talents hold great potential. It is our duty to nurture their talent,” he said.
Mikio Kesagayama, Chairman of NBCC, recalled that about 14 years ago, Professor Yunus came to Japan and was telling stories about helping women through microcredit.
He said that in the first three decades of their business, they strived for a quality workforce.
“Our Federation looks to Bangladesh for young and capable labour. They can contribute to the development of both Bangladesh and Japan,” he said.
“In the coming five years we are prepared to welcome more than 100,000 Bangladeshi workers,” he said.
Sharing the future plan on the recruitment of Bangladeshis in the Japanese industries, Miki Watanabe, President of Watami Group, said a school they established in Bangladesh trains 1500 students every year, and they are now planning to raise the number to 3000.
With technical education in Bangladesh, they can enter the job market in Japan, he said.
Hiroaki Yagi, Japan International Trainee & Skilled Worker Cooperation Organisation (JITCO) chairman, shared the potential and challenges for Bangladeshis in the Japanese labour market.
He said the number of language teachers in Bangladesh is still short.
Niki Hirobumi, State Minister of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW), Japan, said Japan is facing a declining population and thus will need the support of Bangladeshi workforce.
“This can be promising not only for Bangladesh but also for Japan,” he said.
In his welcome speech, Daud Ali, ambassador of Bangladesh to Japan, said by 2040, the Japanese labour shortage could reach 11 million, and Bangladesh could take this opportunity to send more skilled workers.

@mrubin1971@ArunAnandLive shameful propaganda. Bangladesh is recovering from 17 years of oppression. For the first time we are out of indian hegemonic rule through any puppet ruler. Dr yunus has huge support among Bangladeshis.
It is hard to decide what the most ridiculous assertion is in this interview:
—That Muhammad Yunus is worse than Mohamed Morsi?
—That India may have to do a “Grenada” in Bangladesh?
—That the Bangladesh Jamaat Islami is calling the shots and CA Yunus is just a figurehead?
In the interview Rubin talks about visiting Bangladesh but it is clear from listening to him speak he knows nothing about the country.
Again, my question is who is paying him and @AEI to spread this propaganda. This is really shameful.
