Of all the wild images and videos coming out of Dhaka right now, the one that made me laugh the most was when a young guy filmed himself lighting a cannabis joint at Gonobhaban, the prime minister’s official residence.
Sheikh Mujib and Shiekh Hasina being awful violent dictators doesn't mean our army didn't commit a genocide in Bangladesh in 1971.
Sit down, Pak nationalists.
“Engineered by Beijing”
“Stage managed by Islamists”
“CIA plot”
These are the kind of stale rhetoric that the Indian RW is pushing to explain Hasina’s downfall while completely ignoring the street movement led by the politically conscious youth of Bangladesh.
Peak mediocrity!
Gen Z has forced South Asia’s longest-ruling autocrat to flee her country.
Many view this generation with disdain and say it is entitled, lazy, etc.
Today this generation has shown the world that it can outmaneuver boomers through tech to organize, protest, and cause change.
What Bangladesh has witnessed is nothing short of a political revolution — without any prejudice to the connotation of the phrase — and it is the first in history led and orchestrated by Gen Z.
ফেস দা পিপলে হাসনাত ভাইয়ের কথা শুনছিলাম এতক্ষণ
মেড রেস্পেক্ট, শরীরে পুরাটাই কলিজা ভাইরে ভাই...
হি এক্সপোজড অল দা থিংগস হেপেন্ড ইন্সাইড...
তবে লাস্ট একটা কথা বলল, আজকে সে ৩৭০টাকা ধার করে শহিদ মিনার গেছে কারণ তার মাস চলে টিউশনিতে।
STEP DOWN FASCIST HASINA
"আওয়ামীলীগ, যুবলীগ, ছাত্রলীগ এই সন্ত্রাসী সংগঠনগুলো পরিকল্পিতভাবে দেশের গুরুত্বপূর্ণ স্থাপনা, হাসপাতালে আগুন দেওয়া শুরু করেছে। দেশ ধ্বংসের এই ষড়যন্ত্র সফল করতে দেওয়া যাবে না।"

Today was the bloodiest day of the July #GenZRevolution with at least 100 deaths. Determined to oust the dictator, protesters are calling for a nationwide #MarchToDhaka to restore #democracy in #Bangladesh. Fears of more violence tomorrow. We urge int'l attention.
Dhaka is awake. Residents are getting ready to welcome people from all over Bangladesh.
March To Dhaka, 5 August 2024.
