Protests Turned Violent & Workers On Strike: Could Bangladesh Be The Next Sri Lanka? | Insight

For over two months, the main opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, has been staging protest in Dhaka, calling for the government’s resignation. They accuse the ruling Awami League of repressive tactics ahead of the next election. Meanwhile, labour disputes have led to tens of thousands of garment workers taking to the streets, as they strike for wage increases. Rising cost of living and a depreciating currency have made life hard for ordinary Bangladeshi. In the background, the US, China, and India are tussling for influence over the nation of 170 million. Bangladesh has become a key piece in the battle between these superpowers. Yet, there are concerns that large infrastructure loans are leading the country into a debt trap. Amidst political protests, workers strikes and economic troubles, Bangladesh heads for its 12th general elections.
