Bangladesh Sees 29 Deaths Amid Unrest

Following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her departure from Bangladesh, the bodies of at least 29 individuals, including 20 Awami League leaders and their family members, have been discovered across the country amidst escalating violence. Major incidents of unrest have been reported in Satkhira, where at least 10 people were killed, and Comilla, where mob attacks resulted in the deaths of 11 individuals. There have been widespread attacks on the homes and businesses of Awami League members, including an arson attack on the residence of MP Shafiqul Islam Shimul, resulting in four deaths. Eyewitness accounts describe scenes of vandalism and looting, particularly in Dhaka, where the Awami League's central office was set ablaze. The unrest has left police stations vulnerable, with many officers fleeing due to safety concerns, marking a significant crisis for law enforcement in Bangladesh. The violence appears to be targeting Awami League leaders and their affiliates, with reports of additional fatalities from various locations across the nation.
