Bangladesh On Edge: Youth Leader, Sharif Osman Hadi’s Assassination Sparks Protests Amid Political and Economic Turmoil
Bangladesh is in the news once more; however, regrettably, it is for all the wrong reasons again. The assassination of youth leader Sharif Osman Hadi, who was shot in Singapore and is to be interred near poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, has resulted in nationwide demonstrations, and chaos has become the “new normal.” Such political violence has occurred in the past and is happening again. A crumbling economy, constant political unrest, and little help from India mean that Bangladesh is on the brink. The death of a young leader has caused very negative feelings about the state’s integrity, and the people, both domestic and international, are now watching closely as tensions rise and uncertainty spreads.
