Violent Riots Not protests..
Protests.
No awamilg No BNP
We want new Leadership
❤❤❤❤
Innocent Minorities ( Christian; Buddhists and Hindus ) are being killed in Bangladesh this is also at root more Islamic rather then political..
🇧🇩🇧🇩
May God grant them a fair and just government that cares for the ordinary citizens of Bangladesh
A government free from Western hegemony
Thank you al Jazeera ❤
We got 2nd times independence from dictator like Hasina, she is the worst PM in the history of Bangladesh…
Congratulations to the Brave People of Bangladesh especially to the students who led from the front and gave some many sacrifices.. Wish you all a safe and prosperous future ahead ❤
im Bangladeshi Dictator Hasina rigem support modi government .. 😂😂😂
Bangladeshi pipole kick out Hasina
🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
😊😊😊😊 thanks, Al jazeera, you’re awesome people
The students protest was right because, the children of the veterans of liberation war are getting all the privilege from their school admission to university and yet, they get 30% quota on job! This is where the general students and citizens felt betrayed.
Joy Bangla
Thank you for explaining in easy way. The other channels are just dragging around..
No corrupt political leaders be it PM Or President of any country shud be given asylum by any other country but that corrupt leader shud face the law of it’s own country, so that future leaders can learn lesson and more careful in exploiting the people and the sources of their country…
After a long long time Sandra! Good to see you back
Tahnkyou al Jazeera news media reports super heero seloot birathars and sisters allaahu bicmen only one allaahu akhbar
💯 thumb 👍👍
WTF 😮
The quota was for grandchildren not children of veterans.
My worries that India might try to use this as a chance of trick or terrorise Bangladesh! I have a bad feelings about it 😒
We gave you Bangladesh after freeing your country from tyranny of Pakistan.We don’t want anything from your country ,only want to see a prosperous Bangladesh
She dug up her own grave. She was the one to stop the quota system. But when her people’s corruption was coming to light she restarted the quota system. Not only civilians or students but politicians also played a key role. Even if we don’t say it.
( As a Bangladeshi, I am saying, ” Bangladesh is the only country in the world that I know of in which students also do some things ).
thousands of skilled.
The students were stirred up using the quota system. Somebody is manipulating them. Very familiar tactics.
Well Done Bangladesh Brothers and Sisters , why Bangladesh Army let her Esacpe ? Change the System or face will changed but agenda will be the same
Bangladesh now, Palestine next, free Palestine 🇵🇸
Jemathi islam will rule Bangladesh then Bangladesh will become religious country like iran and Yemen
Bangladesh needs a lot of work to revamp the all level of systems, workforce, welfare, slums, accommodations. Because I think India and Pakistan are doing much better than Bangladesh.
Thanks Al Jazeera ❤
Support Bangladesh Students🥰🥰💪
How can it be certain when every act is funded to destabilize the government. Time will tell the future of broken pieces of Bangladesh
Al Jajeera ???
Considering Bangladesh history of military coups and regime’s put in place I’d be worried this power vacuum may result in another one.
I hope I’m wrong
actually more than 900 people got murdered by hasina just in this protest she killed way more peoples than we think to stay at the prime minister’s seat
I am a Bangladeshi so I know August 5th was a historical day for us😊😊
We found mass grave in our national parliament house please cover that news so that the criminals can be brought to justice and there are also many raw agents in the country who are attacking the civilians.
Not just the jobs quota but the Bangladeshis protested against hasinas pro Indian policies
I’m sure granny fled to india not empty handed. I heard e palace was ransacked. Furniture n stuff were taken by e people. No power and dictatorship are forever.
Free Palestine, Free Bangladesh
I am. From Egypt, I have seen this movie before. A piece of advice, watch out for the short guy!!!
Why they are breaking mujibutur rahman Statue? He was Freedom fighter. 🤷♂
She should had faced her people not fleeing her country
Let me do the prediction…Another military ruler will pop up or another dictator or some mullah wannabe caliph.
Toppling a fascist government is the first step to climb the ladder of success. The real challenge is in making sure that freedom is preserved with proper checks and balances and balances in place.
Bangladesh toppled an authoritarian regime in 1990 as well, here we are.
So let’s not get carried away with the all celebration for this new found freedom, cause freedom is temporary unless it is respected with care.
Hasina went to Indonesia
thanks aljazzerha
Why would you fight for government jobs?
Creat your own job, become your own boss.
Im from Dhaka…we have been literally afraid of being shot in the head by our own police everytime we go out…since 18thjuly…so safe to say she has killed atleast 3000 innocent unarmed students, children in dhaka alone…so imagine the death toll nationwide ..y has she donen this i still cant comprehend…she has now put the people in war against their own police…clashes r still ongoing
Tyrants always fall at the end
Egyptian flashback the same scenario that happened in Egypt might repeat in Bangladesh
News aside
She is one beautiful Journalist ❤
১৬ বছরের ডিক্টেটর এত সহজে গদি ছেড়ে দিলো।উনার মতো মহিলা পালিয়ে গেলো, আই রিপিট পালিয়ে গেলো?
সেনাবাহিনী উনারে সেইফ এক্সিট দিলো আবার এই সেনাবাহিনীই সবাইকে গণভবনে ঢুকতে দিলো।কোনো বাঁধাই দিলো না?
স্যাভেজ জনগণ আরামসে সব লুট করলো এখন আবার ধ্বংসযজ্ঞ চালাচ্ছে।তাও বেছে বেছে সংখ্যালঘুদের উপর।তারপরও সেনাবাহিনী চুপ।দেশের ম্যাক্সিমাম জায়গাতেই পুলিশ এখন অকার্যকর প্রায়।এই অবস্থায়ও সেনাবাহিনী তেমন কোথাও পাহাড়ায় নাই।
আবার হুট করেই কাল থেকে একদম সব খুলে দিলো!
মানে রাতারাতি এগুলা একদম অতি দ্রুত হয়ে গেলো না?হয়তোবা মনের ভুল আমার বা অতিরিক্ত চিন্তা।বাট যদি সত্যি হয়?বড় কিছুর প্ল্যান কি চলতেছে?
কথাগুলো একজনের লেখনী কিন্তু আমার মনেও সেইম প্রশ্ন রাতারাতি এত পরিবর্তন? Something is Wrong
some misinformation here
about 56% of government jobs were kept for veterans grandchildren and that sparked the protests.
and people have died in the thousands mostly students because of the PMs permission to open fire to the police.
but can’t blame anyone for only knowing this because most of the information was restricted from going out.
Actually each and every people were celebrating
Bangladesh being a islamic country is no less than Pakistan once their masters. where there is Islam there can not be any peace.
We did it all alone where as US was silent…thats shows why no one respects US power anymore
Hasina was the only PM to accomplish the biggest projects in Bangladesh and carry on the economy. Unfortunately bcs of her resignation soon Bangladesh will turn into another afganistan. People are celebrating the end of Bangladesh
Yh brics deal will fall through know I guess, and US will now take over bangladesh and bangladesh will continue being their slave
East Pakistan is taking shape
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
NO 439 PEOPLE WERE KILLED
Bangladeshi making next riyasat e pudina 😂
Yesterday Indian RAW attacked our people in Badda, Uttara more then 200-300 people has been killed.
The toll is much much higher than 300, it’s close to a few thousand while thousands of other people are now permanently disabled. Also, the quotas being protested was not 30% but close to 60% and it favored those in power. This video is not very well researched.
Army cheif equally corrupt
Not 300 people, Almost 1700 people died During the protest and fights.
Inside Dictator Hasina’s palace (Gonovobon), Many people were found in the dark and closed rooms.
Hasina imprisoned them for many years. They all are innocent peoples.
Many dead bodies of students were found. There were bullets in their body.
Military is with the students
Hope New govt will not be pro usa totally
Arabs will always be fighting others and each other.
Wdym 300 more then like 1000+
Your count is still inaccurate. I’ve seen at least 500 deaths be confirmed officially and 1000+ unofficially.
More than 2000 people were killed and 400 people lost their eyesight on the first day of movement and continued.
Le Indian students losing more and more seats for different quotas each year
So new government will stop protests or what I am with protesters same is happening to us in Pakistan not job quotas but corrupted government and corrupted people and people here charging more money we all have a common enemy USA NATO and our goverment
Hasina now enjoy her time with hey boyfriend in India and her lovers
This lady alone done many developmental works and put Bangladesh economy in a healthy state.Ungrateful citizens
FREE IMRAN KHAN
This is a nightmare for Pakistani establishment 😵
Death over 1000’s..
The number saying 300 is wrong information spread by Sheikh Hasina government
This all is game of USA
Amazing 👏 🤩 🙀 😯 😮 😲 👏 peoples ♥️ ❤️ ✨️ 💖 🎶 💛 ♥️ if your government discriminates against young peoples 😀 😄 😊 😉 👍 😜 you have a right to protests 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢good luck 👍 😀 😊 😄 😉 😘 👍.
Not 300, more than 950 people have died.
Bangladesh doesnt have oil. If not the US would come in support the new govt very fast
She didnt resign but forced to resign
Thanks to America trying to sell democracy
Good news..
Thank you for bringing their plight to our attention. You definitely read the comments
1000 people have died, 1000 not 300, please get your facts checked.
This is a second coming of Libya
Israeli Mossad is in bangladesh
US wants to make Bangladesh their permanent slave, THIS IS NOT A VICTORY
When i hear anything about a coup i instantly think there’s an external government involved. Most like usa. But i’m not aware of the troubles the bangla people had been having with the job quota stuff so i don’t wanna assume. I guess we’ll only know after things resettle what really was up. Although once in conflict the people get hardened, and until the current generation that started all this is alive, even if the next government is corrupted the people won’t let them be in power.
She is now with her boyfriend in India. Bangladesh supreme court has issued an arrest warrant for this vampire. Will her boyfriend jeopardise relationship with Bangladesh by keeping her in India ?
I’d guess Pakistan plotted this.
May Allah replace her someone better than her aamiin.
Lots of play in here. US wants a military base. China doesn’t want that for obvious reasons. India wants a leadership who won’t be either West or China supported. India do not want civil war, population will push through the borders and flood the neighbouring Indian States. Now 3 powerhouse will muddy the waters. Bangladeshis have only to lose. Students aren’t wrong here but if u go the hard way. It’s gonna be uncertain and you gonna invite outside interference with agendas.any which way, bring in elections and form a government as soon as possible.
Why are you so happy 😅🤔
Even if the next 10 leaders comes in, it will not change anything in Bangladesh. It’s a sickening country
Sooner later Bangladesh would bcome like Myannmar
Hindus are being killed in bangladesh man speak on that
Same need to be done to reservation system in 🇮🇳
The world is in disaster
