Current condition of bangladesh

Any Bangladeshis here? If there are, how long do long you could take for the country to settle down from the political turmoil it is in right now? Also, some people are saying there might be a civil war. How likely do you think that is?

I am not from Bangladesh but my impression it is a nation that is doing exceptionally well despite huge difficulties.

BRAC is a development success story, spreading solutions born in Bangladesh around the world – a global leader in creating opportunity for the world’s poor. What started out as a limited relief operation in 1972 in a remote village of Bangladesh has turned into the largest development organisation in the world. Organising the poor using communities’ own human and material resources, BRAC (formerly Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee) catalyses lasting change, creating an ecosystem in which the poor have the chance to seize control of their own lives. We do this with a holistic development approach geared toward inclusion, using tools like microfinance, education, healthcare, legal services, community empowerment, social enterprises and BRAC University. Our work now touches the lives of an estimated 135 million people, with staff and BRAC-trained entrepreneurs numbering in the hundreds of thousands, a global movement bringing change to 11 countries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.

When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.

I know it's definitely doing well in some areas, but the conflits just impede the progress of this country. Somethinggsimilar happened last year around the same time during the elections. Me and my friend were even joking that stuff like this is becoming a seasonal thing.

In Bangladesh, hacking to death of progressive, liberal and free thinking intellectuals, bloggers, and writers is nothing uncommon. Some high profile assassinations by Islamist extremists from recent times:

1. Professor Muhammad Younus;
2. Professor Humayun Azad;
3. Professor AKM Shafiul Islam Lilon:
4. Atheist blogger Rajib Hayder;
5. Atheist blogger Ashraful Alam.

To name a few high-profile ones. We have our yearly Charlie Hebdo incidents

Of course then you can add the occasional political violence:
Fire bomb attacks leave many dead in Bangladesh

Or more Jamat E Islami madness like this:

Yes this is what I was talking about. Our current governmet is supposed to be about democracy. Where's the democracy in stuff like this?
