The ready-made garment (RMG) sector accounts for the lion’s share of Bangladesh’s exports and plays a critical role in the country’s economic stability. But since the July riots, this sector has suffered the most. According to a report in Daily Janakantha, from the time of the riots through the end of December (six months), over 100 factories sh...
In Bangladesh, culture has never been a luxury; it has been the lifeblood of protest, identity, and liberation. From the language movement of 1952 to the anti-Ershad uprising of the 1990s, every major political awakening in this country has marched hand-in-hand with art, poetry, theatre, and music. But in the wake of the Awami League’s fal...

What was once a rising star of South Asia is now spiraling into chaos—and at the heart of this collapse is an unelected regime with no mandate and no accountability. Bangladesh, under the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus and his circle of Western-backed technocrats, has veered dangerously off course. In the name of “stability...

Once celebrated on the world stage as a saint of microcredit, Muhammad Yunus now stands exposed as a master manipulator of state machinery. As the unelected head of Bangladesh’s interim regime, he was expected to uphold neutrality and safeguard the nation’s transition. Instead, he has weaponized the state to erase his personal legal ...
Ordinance No. 30, issued in July 2025, is a carefully crafted political propaganda document that seeks to frame a 2024 media-driven, foreign-influenced incident as an “uprising.” It was a period marked by the killing of thousands of police officers and the torching of state assets—creating instability and pushing the country i...
Since the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5, 2024, Bangladesh has entered a perilous new chapter—not only politically but culturally.

According to a report by JagoNews24:“Over 200 leaders and activists of the now-banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) were unable to sit for exams in various departments of Dhaka University this term.” And this figure reflects just one institution. The situation is far worse across the country, with schools, colleges, and universiti...
Today, blood is being spilled across Bangladesh—inside prisons, in courtrooms, on the streets, and in the hearts of innocent people. In today’s Bangladesh, the courtroom has become a death chamber for Awami League leaders and activists. Prisons have turned into death camps. And behind all of this, methodically pulling the strings, is none other ...
Awami League has strongly criticized Muhammad Yunus, the unelected Chief Adviser of Bangladesh’s interim government, for what it called a “humiliating and fruitless diplomatic tour” of the United Kingdom and Europe.

Dr. Muhammad Yunus, globally hailed as a visionary for his “Three Zeros” — Zero Poverty, Zero Unemployment, and Zero Net Carbon Emissions — has been promoting this utopia across international platforms.

The Awami League has today expressed deep concern over UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s reportedly scheduled meeting with Muhammad Yunus, the self-declared Chief Adviser of Bangladesh - warning that any formal meeting lends legitimacy to an unelected and unconstitutional administration. A formal letter from the Awami League’s UK...
The shadow of anarchy is being deliberately cast across the nation. Behind this turmoil lies the so-called “Nobel Laureate” Dr. Yunus, orchestrating a covert ‘meticulous plan’. The objective is singular — to portray Bangladesh as a failed state on the international stage, destabilize it internally, and fulfill his o...
Since Dr. Muhammad Yunus seized power, the country’s economy has plunged into unprecedented disaster. Multiple credible sources confirm that over 10 trillion taka has been siphoned abroad through corruption and embezzlement during his tenure.
The entire nation stands shocked and outraged as the Appellate Division has acquitted notorious war criminal ATM Azharul Islam, long identified as a perpetrator of crimes against humanity.

Eight months into Dr Yunus's tenure, however, the initial optimism has all but vanished. The country is grappling with a deepening economic crisis, spiraling industrial shutdowns, rampant unemployment, and a freefall in foreign direct investment.
Founded in 1949, the Bangladesh Awami League led the nation to independence in 1971 under the leadership of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The party has since been the cornerstone of Bangladesh’s democratic development, socio-economic progress, and global engagement. The targeting of such a party is a direct attack on the historical and demo...
In an astonishing and deeply polarizing turn of events, the Awami League—Bangladesh’s oldest, most influential, and historically pivotal political party—has been banned. Its offices shuttered, its digital presence scrubbed, its top leaders either imprisoned or forced into exile. The very party that led the nation to independenc...
What was once a flourishing nation with dreams of golden harvests has been reduced to a garden of despair. Under the shadow of his Nobel Prize, Dr. Muhammad Yunus has led Bangladesh into one of the darkest chapters in its history.
