What is happening in Bangladesh?

Every day nearly a dozen people get killed in road accidents, launch or boat capsize. Besides, some are getting killed by relatives, friends, or extortionists. A good number of people are killed by law enforcers while some others become victims of forced disappearances. Some are getting killed in the name of crossfire. Harassment and torture by the law enforcers have become common in our life. We consider the rise of such violence the outcome of January 5 controversial election, which was contrary to our national expectation and the spirit of our Liberation War.

We need a way out of this situation. Politics in Bangladesh is totally discouraging. We achieved independence by uniting and fighting against the massive Pakistan military machine in 1971; why can't we do anything now to break the deadlock? We need to rise from the dark before it is too late.
