A friend of mine who works in a startup in Bangladesh tells me that critical infrastructure is being set on fire indiscriminately. Buildings such as data centers. He shared videos of many such burning buildings. The country doesn’t yet have resilient infrastructure. For example, internet and telecommunication go through a single point of failure. Last year, that building was accidentally set on fire and it led to 2 weeks of poor internet for everyone.
Bangladesh as such has a severe lack of capital, and rebuilding all this is costly.
Ideally protests should be peaceful. But along with protestors, we tend to unleash anarchists who just want to watch the world burn.
They also have rival political parties who clearly use this situation to their advantage.
All is not what it seems. Truth is whatever you believe.
I hope for a swift restoration of law and order, followed by productive dialogue. And for the love of god, let’s not condone setting things on fire. That will destroy innocent lives and what little financial security they have built.
