In recent events, the streets of Bangladesh have witnessed a surge of violence as demonstrators have taken drastic measures by destroying homes belonging to officials from Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League. This turmoil has intensified with acts of vandalism against murals honoring the nation’s founding figure,Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Current statistics indicate a rise in civil unrest globally; similar movements can be seen in countries grappling with authoritarian governance or economic hardships. In 2022 alone, multiple nations reported important protests against their administrations, underlining a global call for transparency and accountability.
Conclusion
