The collapse of planned democratic elections in Bangladesh is one of the great under-covered stories of recent weeks. Bangladesh is, by its standards, doing quite well economically at present, but so sad that the politicians are unable to achieve any sort of accommodation among themselves. Particularly since there are female politicians at the core of the conflict.
The Guardian reported:
Analysts say the rivalry between Sheikh Hasina and the last prime minister, Begum Khaleda Zia, has irreparably damaged politics in the country. The pair have not spoken to each other for more than a decade.
Democracy isn’t any easy business.
