Protests in Bangladesh: the reasons for the rage
After a month of demonstrations in Bangladesh, prime minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted by a protest movement with levels of violence not seen since the country won its independence in 1971. In addition to failing to resolve mass youth unemployment, the so-called Iron Lady of Bangladesh paid the price for muzzling the political opposition for the past 15 years.
