The shift of power.

August 5, 2024, Dhaka, Bangladesh. As dusk fell, massive crowds flooded the streets after 15 years under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s rule, marking what many viewed as a dramatic turning point in the nation’s political history. Following reports of the prime minister’s departure by helicopter, smoke filled the air as anguished protesters surged through the capital, targeting symbols of the government. In this scene, a statue of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who was the Father of the Nation is pulled down, transforming what once stood as a national emblem of pride into a focal point of public anger after years of suppressed dissent. The image captures a volatile moment where power, politics, and public emotion collide.
