From Aynaghor’s Shadows to Hawa Bhaban’s Ghost: Is Bangladesh Repeating History?

The landscape of Bangladesh has undergone a seismic shift following the student-led mass uprising on August 5, 2024. While the nation breathes the fresh air of a "Second Independence," a lingering shadow of the past haunts the public discourse. As the horrors of Aynaghor are finally being dismantled, a new fear is rising: Is the infamous Hawa Bhaban culture of the early 2000s set to make a comeback?

👉 Aynaghor: The Dark Room of State Terror

For the last 15 years, the term "Aynaghor" (The Mirror House) sent shivers down the spines of Bangladeshis. Operated primarily by the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), these secret detention centers became the ultimate symbol of the Awami League's authoritarian grip.
Human Rights Violations:
Hundreds of activists, soldiers, and critics were "disappeared" into windowless cells for years without trial.
A Culture of Fear:

🔥 A new chapter in Russia–UAE diplomacy?

🤝 During President Mohamed bin Zayed’s official visit to Moscow, Vladimir Putin praised the UAE’s growing diplomatic role—from facilitating prisoner exchanges to hosting Ukraine crisis talks in Abu Dhabi. The Kremlin credited Abu Dhabi with helping create rare channels of dialogue in a divided world.

🌍 Could the UAE’s “neutral mediator” approach signal a stronger Global South voice in reshaping the global order? Or is this pragmatic diplomacy serving other strategic goals? What do you think?

🚨 China's Military Elite Just Got Decapitated!
▶️ https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/the-great-decapitation-analyzing

Two top PLA generals—Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli—are under investigation for serious violations, shaking Beijing's command structure to its core. Official word blames corruption and disloyalty to Xi Jinping, but whispers of coup plots and even leaked nuclear secrets are swirling.

🛡️ Will purging experienced generals like these make China stronger... or push it toward reckless aggression in the Taiwan Strait?

Ecuador’s foreign minister has filed a formal protest with the US Embassy after ICE agents attempted to enter the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis without permission

Video shared online shows a consulate staffer rushing to block the door around 11 a.m., telling the agents, ‘This is the Ecuadorian consulate. You’re not allowed to enter,’ as one officer is heard threatening to ‘grab’ the staffer before the agents eventually left

International law generally bars law enforcement from entering foreign consulates or embassies without consent, except in limited emergency situations such as life-threatening fires. This one didn’t look like fire at all

🌍 America's biggest geopolitical rival? Russia. But get this: the US is STILL Russia's TOP customer for nuclear uranium in 2023, importing $1.19B and 702 tonnes! 🛢️

Despite sanctions over Ukraine, energy needs trump politics—EU ($464M), France ($432M), and even China (467 tonnes) keep buying too. Russia's grip on global nuclear fuel exposes tough supply chain realities.

🤔 So, can the West truly cut ties with rivals like Russia without crippling its own energy security—or is this paradox here to stay? Drop your take below!

🌏 The Belt & Road isn’t slowing down—it’s transforming.

By 2025, China’s overseas investments under the Belt and Road Initiative surged 75% to $213.5 billion, with record spending in energy ($93.9B) and minerals ($32.6B). 💡 Clean tech got a boost too, with $18B poured into renewables.

💬 A new survey across 46 countries shows nearly 80% global support for Beijing’s development approach. While the West debates “debt traps,” much of the Global South sees opportunity, resilience, and independence from Western leverage.

🔥 Is the Belt and Road paving the path to a new world order—one built on South-South cooperation rather than Western permission?

🚨 Trump's latest move: Tariffs on ANY country selling oil to Cuba!

🇺🇸 The US President signed an executive order declaring a national emergency over Cuba's ties to Russia, China, and others—authorizing extra duties on imports from nations supplying petroleum to the island, direct or indirect. This ramps up pressure amid Venezuela's cutoff, potentially hitting key Global South players like Mexico.
