- School’s out in Bangladesh, and students are up in arms against government job quotas. In response, there’s been a deadly crackdown in which authorities shut down all public universities and cut mobile phone services. Are students in Bangladesh losing faith in their country’s promise of independence and democracy?

Do you know the protest is for students being called as Razakars meaning traitors and the term used to Pakistan sympathisers during 1971. So you prove the fact that Hasina was right all along.
800+ students killed by sheikh Hasina (Bangladesh
PM), injury 15000+

Thousands people have died in the last few days. Media is not exposing the real news and update. Pray for my country!
Thank you for covering what’s happening in our beloved motherland. The barbaric and callous acts of violence against the students of Bangladesh are truly horrific, and this fascist government spearheaded by Sheikh Hasina must step down. It’s not about Quota Protest anymore, it’s about the innocent lives of students being lost. We want justice, and we want it now!

Deep throats in the Hamas wing of the Bnp/Jamati cabal, set an elaborate trap for Hasina__she almost fell into it. Earlier, Hamas made the calculation that sacrificing 100,000 innocent civilians is the price of the freedom. It is worth remembering, in 1971, Bhutto asked Pak info minister Roedad Khan to create similar law and order situation which will force President Yayha to postpone parliament session in Dhaka. By borrowing a page from the Hamas, the Hizbollah faction of the Ghoshak's party, almost succeeded in creating 1975 like Kerbala. Now, time has come for Hasina to borrow a page from Imam Khomeni.
Thanks Al-jazeera & Tariq to bring out the truth about the situation in Bangladesh, Please save the Students and Bangladesh 😢
Save Bangladesh 🇧🇩 please

What this journalist brother of mine is saying is speaking the truth of the hearts of 17 crore people
Every word he said is true. I called my friend over there very early in the morning, when voices are barely audible. From that call, I learned police are shooting anyone on sight. There are tanks on the roads and helicopters on the sky. One of the choppers threw an expired tear shell into my friend's apartment on the 6th floor for no reason. Due to which their newborn baby almost died. They are speaking of 100 deaths, but in reality, it's hundreds, maybe even thousands. My friend can see 3-4 people getting shot and dead on the spot every day from their apartment windows. The situation is much much worse than I can explain. I only heard this much. Reality is even more terrible. I am sure Sheikh Mujib would have had her own daughter killed if he knew what she has done to this country.
Sheikh Mujib was no good either. He couldn't control his sons and his family.That's why they got killed by people. Hasina is also perhaps waiting for a similar end. She like her father and brother has become blind for power.
He was a bad man who only wanted power. It was easy for him to come out on top after the freedom fighters died for Bangladesh, while he was completely fine. He and his family were, and still are, wreaking havoc on Bangladesh.
shame on your friend
@@lemDdentist why??
@@itsakingfisher4354 Probably meant something else. Dude looks like he uses Banglish language, not used to proper English.
For all the laymen out there, let me elaborate everything from the scratch:-
1) Firstly, there's a so-called, "Quota system for freedom fighters" in Bangladesh which *only* favours the Children and Grandchildren of the Freedom fighters that fought in the 1971 war. The current quota is 30% and it massively favours students and employees, it's basically like position/seat reservations for prospects while finding a job. So you can clearly understand that, even the "low-skilled" individuals gets a pass and are much easily able to pursue their dream careers without *proper merits*.
2) Obviously, no Disrespect to all the Beloved Freedom fighters, but to me personally, it serves total injustice to the rest of the students who are hardworking, bright and has much more potential to offer and be the building blocks for our country's future generations.
3) That being said, it's literally a 'Now or Never' situation, hence the students of Bangladesh are demanding to fully abolish this 'freedom fighter quota' to come to a fair level playing field when it comes to prospects finding their jobs. The job market is already very saturated in the first place, so there is a dire need to abolish this unfair, quota system.
(Please note that, Students are fully in support of the 'Handicapped/Physically & Mentally disabled quota', 'women's quota', though because Disabled or Differently-abled people deserves a better chance, otherwise it's literally an inhumane thing to do!!)
4) So the students especially from the well-reputed Dhaka University and Jagannath University first decided to organise a fully 'Peace protest' as an attempt to cover and expressing all their demands to the government.
(P.S: Our PM Sheikh Hasina, blatantly tried to flip the topics up in a press-briefing and in return decided to term all the people without quota as "razalar" which is almost like a slang term used for " a War Traitor "!)
5) On the 15th of July, 2024, there were groups of police trying to control student crowd if things go wrong. But when the so-called organisation, "Chatro League" decided to intervene in the 'Students peace protest', things escalated from 0 to 100 instantly and became a total ruckus! From innocent students not only verbally, but physically harassed by the Chatro League! That being said, the police just decided to just sit and watch the entire commotion and even favouring the Chatro League members to bring in Weapons like Bricks, Bamboo Sticks to even Steel rods to attack Innocent students!!!!
6) Students were left totally Bloodied on the streets, from facing massive bruises and cuts to fractures. Students were literally begging and hiding under the Scarves of fellow, female students just to evade from the 'Murder-Hungry' Chatro League members! Please note that the chatro League had no business at all in the first place to be amongst the peace protesters and then brutally attempting to murder these students like WTF!?!
7) Why do we think that all of this commotion was 100% scripted and well-planned? It's because most of the Chatro League members came with protection gears like helmets and weapons like I already mentioned, bamboo sticks, Steel rods and even Guns!! (Yes you heard that right, Guns too in a peace protest!)
This has to be a clear order from the government to the Chatro League to suppress all of the protests even if it required by means of murdering! The electric supply as well as the Internet supply in these Universities has been totally disrupted so that the peace protesters won't be able to publish the acts of violence, Online through Live streaming on Facebook/Twitter. Sudent accomodation halls were broken into, barricaded and attacked yesterday during late midnight, 'Stealthily'!!
8) The current number of injured students already crossed 400-500 and the number of innocent students deaths are creeping up every single day! (Already 5-6 students passed away and is officially confirmed). The peace protests has extended to a lot more Universities & institutions, today... In the same time, the Chatro League members are in the rise too with their Violent nature, trying to suppress these peace protesters everywhere in this country, even at the cost of Blood shedding!
9) So to conclude all of this, all we require at this moment is a "Voice to be heard from" from all the international organisations and Media coverages. If awareness is not conveyed in time, there will be much, much more blood sheds resulting in more innocent losses of lives, every single day! Massive respect and support to all the news outlets for providing coverage to this story as innocent students are in dire need of all the support that they can get.
THIS TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS AND BODIES LIKE CHATRO LEAGUE NEEDS TO BE BANNED, FOREVER!!!
(P.S:- Comment and like on this Thread for more visibility and also rectify me, if I made mistakes in any of the points above)
Thank you for clarifying that. You should be a journalist.
So how does this quota system work? Do you need to go to University in order be eligible for government jobs?
@@tjonline77 There are different types of quotas too, the one I've talked about here is the ' War Veteran descendants quota". The total quota allocated for this is 30% out of 56%, the rest of the quotas are reserved for Women, Handicaped, District-based, backward castes. The issue here is that, the 56% quota , for example is distributed amongst a total of 500,000 students whereas the rest 44% is for the rest of the students around 20,00,000 students! The ratio here is F***d up, hence the beginning of the protests. Students grind their @$$e$ off in the universities but are unable to secure proper jobs bcz of the Quota's unfair, partiality system. Quota over Merits.
All you have to do is be any descendants of a war veteran (Sons, Grandsons) to avail and secure the govt jobs despite having low skills/merits.
56% and rajakar
and the deathcount is 200+
stepdown Hasina
I pray that my family is safe. And my husband too. I also pray for peace, stop this madness
Save Bangladesh Students 😔😥🙏
why do you beg? what's the point of begging online like a loser? It's honestly pathetic.
its not safe to ask for justice in this country

Thank you Al Jazeera
That's the reality of Bangladesh democracy , there are no democracy anymore,,,, There are only dictator Sheikh Hasina
Why shouldn't he beg help??? He is helpless don't you see??
Thank you Tanvir sir, for your kind information about our country. We are far from our country. but we are worried about our country.we don't know what happened inside the country for the past 5 or 6 days. we don't have a phone call to family. We are so disappointed about the situation in Bangladesh about Bangladesh. I want to request all about the world please help us and save our students and save us. Thousands of people are dead. And there are no legal and news channels available. Only the government there are another way part of the government there only broadcast the news
Thanks a lot news presenter

Save it yourself. 😊
😂😂😂...
It's not just about the freedom fighters' quota; they were calling for a reform of the entire quota system, which consisted of 56% quotas and 44% merit-based admissions. This is why students were demanding changes to this quota system. Simultaneously, the government of Bangladesh has been brutally murdering innocent people whenever they demand their rights, every time.
It's not about students now. The deman is to criminalize chatro league forever.
Stop calling it student quota andalolon now. It's an andolon to abolish chatro league.
Yeah......she take our independ and our democracy.
My question to the United Nations is that even after this solitary killing, why is the Bangladesh army chief, Bangladesh police chief, Bangladesh naval chief, BGB still not banning everyone? Why are they still not being kicked out of the UN mission??
Until now internet on BD still not recovered 😢

I am a Bangladeshi living abroad. I couldn’t sleep properly for few days watching the news of how our students were killed by the govt forces. More than 300 students already killed so far. Actual number might be way more than that as there is no internet in Bangladesh for the last 4-5 days. 😢😢
I haven’t spoken to my parents for five days now due to this complete internet shutdown.
Sheikh Hasina's govt is not an elected govt. She is a dictator. She is a killer.
In fact whenever an Awamileague leader or a top govt official or any Chhatraleague leader dies, we say "Alhamdulillah." It's an ocassion of joy for Bangladeshi people. That’s how much Bangladeshis hate this govt and it’s leaders.
Where are you parents? Dhaka?
Very unfortunate / sad situation in Bangladesh... when a government has too much power it often causes many problems in a country!
On a more positive note, the videos on the playlist on my channel titled 'Purpose of Life?' might interest / inspire some people!

There's too much hate between these three nations. Especially Bangladeshis and Pakistanis hate Indians.
There are still Indians in Kolkata protesting about the current situation in Bangladesh.
If this would have been Bangladesh people, they would have never raised a word if Indian students were in a similar situation.
So that Reliance and Tata takes over our market? The Union thing has proven to be a total failure. Just look at what happened to Greece.
