UN Urges Calm in Bangladesh Amid Violent Protests and Prime Minister’s Resignation
The United Nations has issued a call for calm in Bangladesh amidst escalating violence related to anti-government protests, which have intensified despite the recent resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Hasina resigned and fled the country on Monday in response to the widespread demonstrations that have turned increasingly violent.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres is closely monitoring the situation, as noted by Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq.
Guterres has urged all parties involved to exercise restraint and maintain a peaceful approach, emphasizing the importance of a smooth, orderly, and democratic transition in the country.
He has expressed strong solidarity with the Bangladeshi people and stressed the need for respect for human rights.
Haq also highlighted the Secretary-General’s call for a comprehensive, independent, and transparent investigation into the acts of violence that have occurred.
According to reports from the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the violence has resulted in over 300 deaths, including those of children, since student-led protests began in July. Additionally, more than 20,000 people have been injured.
This period of unrest marks one of the bloodiest in Bangladesh’s history.
China speaks on the latest issue between Nigeria and the United States. After Donald Trump declared plans to take action against what he called the “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, many have reacted and shared their opinions.
China expressed disagreement with Trump’s statement, saying that religion is not a strong reason to interfere in another country’s internal affairs.
The spokesperson representing China stated that the country “firmly opposes any nation using religion or human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs or threaten them with sanctions or force.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, spoke on Donald Trump’s threat to Nigeria regarding taking care of the Christian genocide.
The minister appeared as a guest on a TV program and spoke on the current situation, stating that politics has been taken too far.
The minister questioned the claims made, saying “It is an indictment that a government I am serving, anybody will allege that that government is supporting genocide, killing of Christians and I am still in that government.
This is politics taken too far. The Inspector General of Police is a Christian, the Director General of the Department of State Services is a Christian, the Chief of Defence (Staff) is a Christian.
Tell me how any right-thinking person will think that we will sit in a government and support the killing of our own people?”
#JusticeforOchanya, a 13 year old girl who was not heard in times of need and justice.
Her story and voice has finally been hear and needs to made louder. Nigerians and many others have risen to strengthen and loudening her voice. Ochanya is a 13 year old girl who was sexually abused and graped by her aunt’s son. Upon report to her uncle, when she thought justice will be served, he joined in.
Unfortunately justice failed her as the 13 year old girl assed away, although justice failed her then it is not too late. Because these criminals still roam free and nothing has been done about it.
Let’s take a stand and speak up for the girl child, speaks up for females, speak up for Ochanya!
