The resignation was a few hours ago. I would assume that the deaths this article talks about are those from before.

However there is currently a power vacuum and there is a risk of further violence. Many innocent people were killed, and those people might not be happy with the previous government "getting away"

I hope the country finds peace, and finally experiences a proper democracy

I've been following it for a few weeks, it was a snowball effect.

• The original protest was met with mockery and ignorance where Hasina called the protestors "rajakars", which refers to the people who aided Pakistan during the genocide in the 70s. That caused even bigger protests.

• The government's youth wing/league, likened to a gang or terrorist group, violently beat protestors and killed some. In the chaos, police fired on protestors, drove cars through rickshaws, and started showing up to homes in plainclothes at night arresting students. More happened but this is what I saw videos of. Many more were killed during this time. To slow the spread of news about this, the government shut down the internet. At this point the people wanted her out of power.

• Further growing protests were met with more violence, a curfew, and a shoot on sight order. The youth wing attacked people on the street and police fired at people outside. People were shot at even when standing by the windows or on the rooftops.

All of thus culminated in people flooding to the capital, filling the city centres and Hasina fleeing the country.

While its very likely that opposition party members supported the protests, too much happened for it to be entirely manufactured.

It does, maybe that was the original joke and OP made an error when providing context

Thank you, you're now a mod.

In addition, I hope you, your family, and everyone else in the country stay safe as the latest events unfold!

Someone offered to be a moderator, but I'd like to add more if I can. The call is still open

Thanks for the help. I'm not currently in the country unfortunately. I spoke with someone who is self hosting in Bangladesh, and I will suggest an instance like that. I suppose that it is more difficult to set up a server in Bangladesh, so it is a long term goal. In the meantime, this can be a backup to the reddit one

I made a post here if needed
