Bangladesh is in turmoil as law enforcement response to nationwide student protests have today resulted in the deaths of at least 19 people. What is this all about?

1. The country's university students are demanding the scrapping of the government quota system which allows 30% of all positions in the public sector to go to grandchildren/great grand-children of "freedom fighters", that is those who fought in the country's 1971 war of independence. The quota for freedom fighter families was first brought in by the Awami League in around 2010.

2. Students argue that the quota for "freedom fighter" families stops merit based students from getting jobs, unduly favours supporters of the governing Awami League and is corrupt. The constitution does allow quotas to be given to "disadvantaged groups", but many question whether "freedom fighter" families are necessarily disadvantaged anymore and whether most of those listed by the government as freedom fighters ever actually fought in the war.

3. Students first started protesting against the quotas in 2018, but (as 2018 what was supposed to be an election year, and the government was fearing issues that the opposition could use against it) the Awami Government quickly accepted the student demands and said that they would remove the quotas. This ended the protests at that time.

4. However, someone filed a writ petition in the High Court challenging the legality of the government order ending the quotas. In early June 2024, just over a month ago, the High Court ruled that the government order was unconstitutional and the quota for freedom fighter families should remain. Since courts in Bangladesh are very often managed by the government, many assume that the High Court was just doing the bidding of the government which did not really want the quota to be removed.

5. The High Court decision renewed the student protests taking place now which until recently were proceeding peacefully. However, on Monday they turned violent when the government decided to use both the police and its own party's student and youth wings to pacify the protests. This resulted in deaths of six people on Wednesday. Today, students tried to close down the whole country in protest at the killings.

6. Whilst these protests are about quotas, it is important to understand the context in which they are happening. Since 2009, there has been no fair contested elections in Bangladesh - since either the government systemically rigged the vote (2018) or the opposition has refused to take part in the vote due to fears of systemic rigging (2014, 2024) - and so the Awami League government, now in power for 15 years has very limited legitimacy, and people feel they have not been able to freely choose their government. The Awami League government has been able to get away with this as it is now deeply authoritarian , and is in total control of law enforcement authorities and the courts. There is therefore much simmering anger and resentment, which is reflected, arguably, in these protests.

Great video to demonstrate fire gasses (smoke) is fuel, this is why I hate the term smoke within the fire service and believe we should all be using the term fire gasses/super heated fire gases.
