Bangladesh: An Unfinished Revolution?
with Giuliano Battiston
From 2024 to 2026, the student uprising transformed Bangladesh. What remains of the revolutionary spirit today?
In Bangladesh, in the space of just a few weeks, the government transitioned from Sheikh Hasina's authoritarian rule to a government led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus. This transition was made possible by the explosion onto the political scene of thousands of students who took to the streets across the country.
Their strength was organizational and symbolic: occupied universities, spontaneous coordination, and resistance to information blackouts. Today, the promise of guaranteeing rights and democracy takes center stage. But what remains of the revolutionary spirit today?
