Bangladesh Deploys Military Amid Deadly Protests

Bangladesh is experiencing severe civil unrest resulting in a nationwide curfew and deployment of military forces after student-led protests against government job quotas escalated. The unrest has resulted in over 100 deaths and thousands of injuries, with violent clashes between protesters and security forces. An internet blackout has been in place since Thursday, isolating the country and disrupting communications. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government is facing its biggest challenge since her re-election, with calls for her resignation growing louder. International reactions have been mixed, with the U.N. urging restraint and impartial investigations. The protests, primarily driven by high youth unemployment and perceived unfair job allocation policies, have now expanded to broader economic issues, further intensifying the situation.
