'Those who control Bangladesh's politics are inherently undemocratic and the standard of education and training of the ruling class here is very low.' New Age Editor Nurul Kabir came up with the observation on November 18, a day after ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina was sentenced to death in a case of crimes against humanity, the first such case in Bangladesh's history in which a former prime minister has been sentenced to death. At the unveiling of a book by the late politician Barrister Moudud Ahmed, Nurul Kabir said, 'From the first day of the Bangladesh state to today, democracy has never existed.'
Dhaka, home to about 20 million people, is now a highly risky city regarding earthquakes. Because the Madhupur Fault of the tectonic plate, which is within 60 kilometers of this city, has become active again where pressure has been building up for about 400 years. The sub-plates near this plate are also within 20 kilometers of Dhaka city. If a massive earthquake occurs when the strong pressure of these plates is released, a terrible disaster will befall the capital Dhaka. However, the damage will not be the same in all areas of city. Some areas will see much more and some areas will have relatively less damage. The Earthquake Observation and Research Center of the Bangladesh Meteorological Department has reported this information.

On Monday morning, I was utterly shocked after watching a video clip. Filmed from a distance, the video showed towering flames rising above the trees, lighting up the night sky. At first glance, I thought the footage was from Ukraine or Gaza. But soon I realised I was wrong. According to various media reports, it was not a scene of destruction from abroad, but from Savar, on the outskirts of Dhaka—where students of Daffodil International University had vandalised and set fire to the campus of City University. As the day went on, the horror of the incident became even clearer.

While newly elected Donald Trump was calling for 'America First', Xi spoke of 'mutual benefit' in global trade - the media gave him the title of 'protector of globalization'. But behind that seemingly calm and generous declaration, a different plan was going on inside.
