Patriots must cooperate with the interim government

Right now the people do not want BNP, Gonoform, the Nationalist Democratic Movement, Awami League, or any other political party becoming involved and messing up the cleaning operation. You don’t intervene in the process when your septic tank is being emptied, writes

----- Maj. Haider Aziz (retd.)

It’s amazing, the best change this country has ever witnessed since its birth was the collapse of Sheikh Hasina’s dictatorship and her team of sycophant corrupt cronies. Bangladesh had gained the reputation of being one of the most corrupt countries... if not ‘the’... most corrupt country in Asia.  And...

Judicial system goes on trial

Justice is special and it’s the foremost duty of every government to deliver justice for all its citizens. Justice is akin to the air we breathe. It is a standalone feature free from all prejudices – short, tall, fat, thin, skin pigmentation, or religious beliefs – and intended to be universally equal for all ----  write Sir Frank Peters & Tarazi Mohammed Sheikh

Accidental revolutionaries topple Hasina — What’s Next?

Bangladesh has experienced its most consequential political event in at least two decades. On June 6, one day after Bangladesh’s high court reinstated the country’s job quota system that favored descendants of the 1971 liberation war, about 500 students gathered at Dhaka University to demand its repeal. Two months later, on August 5, Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who had governed  for 15 years, abdicated power and fled the country as a coalition of Bangladeshi students, political opponents and ordinary citizens marched...
