Enayetpur police killings: Survivors recall horror two years on

Two years after 15 policemen were bludgeoned to death by anti-government protesters at Enayetpur Police Station, the screams of that afternoon still echo for those who witnessed it. An elderly woman living directly behind the station in Sirajganj says she still hears the cries of dying officers in her sleep. Her seven- and eight-year-old granddaughters wake up screaming "save me, save me, I'm dying" in the middle of the night, unable to shake the trauma of what they saw.

In the history of FIFA, the world's highest governing body for football, there have been few instances of such political pressure, institutional resistance and questions over leadership credibility. The crisis that erupted over the controversial plan to sell a portion of the World Cup's commercial rights or shares to the private sector ultimately did not end with just the withdrawal of a proposal; rather, it has pushed FIFA President Gianni Infantino's political authority, international acceptance and chances of victory in the upcoming election into serious jeopardy.
