Bangladesh imposes curfew and deploys army to curb massive quota protests | DW News

Bangladesh is under a nationwide curfew after weeks of protest turned violent. Military forces are now patrolling the streets of the capital Dhaka in a bid to restore calm. More than a hundred people have been killed in clashes with police. The government puts the blame for violence on the opposition. The unrest started after the government re-introduced limits on who has access to highly sought-after government jobs.

I am a Singapore expatriate, my motherland is Bangladesh, it's been three days today, I can't talk to my family. All the people of Bangladesh want this government to resign. We who are outside Bangladesh, in other countries, want this government to resign.

I think the situation has gone completely wrong now 😢 How can the government treat to their own younger generation like this? Save Bangladeshi students 🌷 support from🇱🇰

I have three cotton t-shirts made in Bangladesh by a company called Carhartt. It's cheap and quite comfortable. I would be buying more of it in the future. What's happening in a neighboring nation like Bangladesh is truly tragic. Bangladeshis are humble and hardworking people. May Bangladesh recover from this tragedy.

Love for students from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
We kicked out a similar regime just few years back. My only advise - try to be non- violent. Do not attack public properties. Show your love even for your enemies while doing necfesary things to get back justice
