A court in Dhaka just approved another five days of police custody for a suspect linked to a political assassination. The suspect is Md Kabir, who police say worked with the main shooter, Faisal Karim Masud. They are the prime accused in the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi. Hadi was a spokesperson for a group called Inqilab Moncho and a prospective candidate from the Dhaka 8 constituency. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefatullah gave the order after investigators asked for a full week. This comes right after Kabir finished a previous seven-day remand period granted by the court.
The shooting itself happened earlier in the month on Box Culvert Road, within the Paltan Model Police Station area. Officials say Hadi was...
A Chinese mining firm just got booted from a deal in Zimbabwe after a High Court decision. The company, Ming Chang Sino Africa Mining Investment, along with Fuel Africa and an individual named Wang Ke, got removed from a mining agreement with Gwampa Mining. Justice Bongani Ndhlovu in the Commercial Division ruled that their shares were given out illegally. The court ordered their names stripped from the share register of DGL Investment Number 5, which held the mining claims.
Here is the backstory. Gwampa Mining, set up back in 2009, made a deal with Eagle Italian Shoes and the Ming Chang and Fuel Africa companies. The plan was to jointly work on claims owned by DGL. The agreement had some big requirements that needed to happen...
The student wing of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party at Dhaka University threw a big event for Tarique Rahman. The Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal unit called it Prattabartan 25, a mix of a march and a concert. A huge crowd of the group's members turned out across the campus in the afternoon. Their procession kicked off at the Student Teacher Centre, wound past the VC Chattar area and some dorms, and finished with a rally near Begum Rokeya Hall. People in the march were shouting slogans to welcome the BNP's acting chairman back home.
Speakers at the rally included the group's campus president, Ganesh Chandra Roy Sahas, and its general secretary, Nahiduzzaman Shipon. They said Rahman was returning after about seventeen years abroad. They...
That airport in Dhaka, Hazrat Shahjalal International, is locking down for a full day. Group Captain SM Ragib Samad, the airport's executive director, put out a notice about the new rules. For twenty-four hours, starting in the evening, nobody gets inside unless they are a traveler with a valid flight ticket. All regular visitors and people just seeing someone off are completely banned from entering.
This security clampdown is directly linked to the planned return of Tarique Rahman. He is the acting chairman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, the BNP. His arrival is expected to draw significant crowds. The party itself has apparently organized a lot for his homecoming.
Law enforcement and other security agencies are reportedly...
Bangladesh's railway service is cancelling three normal train lines for a full day to make room for special services. Those suspended services are the Rajbari Commuter line between Rajbari and Poradaha, the Rohanpur Commuter from Rohanpur to Rajshahi, and the Dhalarchar Express running between Pabna and Rajshahi. This is happening because the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, the BNP, asked for help moving its people. Party leaders and members want to get to Dhaka for the return of their acting chairman, Tarique Rahman. Officials say they regret inconveniencing regular passengers.
The railway system is setting up ten special train routes just for this political gathering. These special trains will run on loops connecting Dhaka to...
Ties between India and Bangladesh have gone seriously downhill since last year. A recent report from an international group points to the ousting of former leader Sheikh Hasina as the main trigger. India had strongly backed its government for fifteen years, a stance that built up significant public resentment in Bangladesh. Since giving her refuge after she fled, the two neighbors have traded tough talk, put up trade barriers, and had run-ins at the border.
With a national election coming up in Bangladesh, the analysis sees a chance to reset things afterward. It suggests India should make friendly moves post-vote and stop betting everything on one political party. For their part, Bangladeshi parties are advised to cool it with the...
A big hotel group on Hvar is finishing a total remake of one of its properties. The Sirena hotel, tucked away in its own bay near Hvar Town, has been completely redone ahead of its reopening next year. This continues a long investment push by Suncani Hvar Hotels, the island's main employer, which has steadily upgraded its portfolio for years.
The redesign focuses on a calm, high-end vibe using natural materials like wood and stone, with colors inspired by the coast. The hotel has one hundred fifty-four rooms and suites. Amenities for guests include multiple dining spots, a gym, pools, a yoga deck, and a private pebble beach. The overhaul aims to match the rising profile of visitors to Hvar, which has become a top European destination...
