The arrogance of the powerful… The long-distance bus traffic is still suspended (see last entry) and of relaxation and control of the situation – as the government and police claim – is far away. On the contrary, the arrogant and sometimes cynical statements of the powerful in the country are finally escalating the situation. Meanwhile, almost all parts of Dhaka are affected. The university students team up with the students of colleges and highschools. Various newspapers and TV channels were warned for alleged “dubious reporting”. Social media have been and will be partially interrupted, means: disconnected. The police and now the army to defuse the situation, which is probably more than provocation understood. In short: Dhaka is currently a powder keg!
