Bangladesh is engulfed in turmoil once again, with approximately 100 fatalities reported on Sunday as demonstrators clashed with law enforcement and supporters of the ruling party.

Last month's uproar, leading to 150 deaths and thousands injured, was ignited by student groups protesting reserved quotas in government jobs. The renewed protests, calling for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation, have escalated into a large-scale movement.

The 'Students Against Discrimination' group, who led the initial job quota protests, is now demanding Hasina step down, citing the brutal crackdown during previous protests and stagnant job growth. Calls for her resignation have intensified, with accusations of excessive force by the government and dissatisfaction with the country's deteriorating economic conditions.
