How Bangladesh student protests grew to become a mass movement | DW News

In Bangladesh, tens of thousands of students and their supporters have gathered in the capital - Dhaka - to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

This never ends well. Unseating a stable govt and replacing it with millitary rule and then with hope that opposition that has riled up unrest and voilence will be hoping to take up rule, who will end up messing things up in their term 1 and then ppl want old stable govt back. We have seen this story in many countries and it never end well.
