Thousands take to streets with processions in Dhaka
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune (published August 5, 2024) reports on massive street protests erupting across multiple neighborhoods of Dhaka, Bangladesh, including Jatrabari, Shaheed Minar, Badda, Uttara, Mirpur, and Shahbagh. The demonstrations began around 1:30 PM, with crowds gathering and marching in processions toward central locations such as Mirpur 10 roundabout and Agargaon. A key development noted is that Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-uz-Zaman was scheduled to address the nation at 3 PM, with military authorities urging the public to avoid violence. The article also notes that broadband and mobile internet, which had been shut down earlier, were restored around this time. The article tags the events under "Revolution 2024" and the "Non-cooperation movement," indicating this was part of a broader political uprising in Bangladesh.
