Bangladesh’s top court has scaled back a controversial quota system for government job applicants after it led to nationwide unrest and deadly clashes between police and protesters that have killed scores of people. Earlier in the week, police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to scatter stone-throwing protesters who filled the streets amid unrest in which over 100 were killed.

    You’ll continue to see this type of stuff until reform comes, especially from the younger generations. We are fed up with the status quo that does not work in this current world, we want system that we ourselves can create and change, not one that forces us out. From the United States to the Russian Federation, from Kenya to Argentina, from Hong Kong to South Korea , people across the world are fed up with their government, giving us the bare minimum for survival, sometimes not even that, sometimes even going directly against the human right council. Humans deserve better than what we have been given by the systems we have, luckily we created them so that means we get to change them. Full support from here over in the United States, I hope the Bangladeshi people get the reforms that you desperately need! Hello from South Louisiana my international friends! May we create a future better for our children that the one we live in now!

    court ruling also says Govt can change the numbers. so this means nothing. govt needs to step down and all members should leave the country.
  • This is gonna be everywhere soon. The whole world. We are the many. They are the few.

    It’s so sad when Ur fellow countrymen suit up and do what they are told for a paycheck, disregarding the issues that plague most of their countrymen and most likely them, too.😢
