ঐDeshi

✊ Moitree Jatra floods Dhaka with unity and demands for gender equity. Thousands hit Manik Mia Avenue Friday, turning protest into powerful poetry with placards like “No means no” and “Resist marital rape.” Led by women, backed by allies, the march fused art, activism, and solidarity to call out violence and push for dignity. No shouting—just strength.

🤞 Jagannath University students and teachers called off their protest Friday night after the government agreed to meet their 4-point demand. UGC Chairman Prof SMA Faiz confirmed the resolution at the Kakrail protest site, ending a mass hunger strike that began earlier in the day. Some JnU students are still protesting, demanding a concrete roadmap—not just promises and political “mula.”

🚀 A Biman flight lost a wheel just after takeoff from Cox’s Bazar—but thanks to Captain Jamil Billah and First Officer Zayed’s textbook calm, all 71 passengers landed safely in Dhaka. The Dash 8-Q400 touched down at 2:20pm under full emergency protocol. Biman’s calling it heroism; aviation experts are calling for a probe.

👀 Around 2 AM Thursday night, India’s BSF allegedly tried to push 750 people—branded as “illegal Bangladeshis”—across the Brahmanbaria border. But word got out. BGB took position, locals showed up with sticks, and even went Facebook Live to rally back up.

🕊️ Following the first direct peace talks since 2022, Ukraine has called for a face-to-face meeting between President Zelenskyy and President Putin as the “next step” toward ending the war. Although no ceasefire was agreed upon, both sides did agree to exchange 1,000 prisoners of war each. Ukraine insists on an immediate, unconditional ceasefire, while Russia demands further talks before agreeing to one. .

⛔ India is planning to expand its control over rivers in the Indus basin, particularly by doubling the length of the Ranbir canal on the Chenab River, which could significantly reduce water flow to Pakistan. Pakistan views any water diversion as an act of war, as nearly 80% of its agriculture depends on the Indus river system.

🇵🇸 Trump  called out the Gaza crisis, saying “people are starving” and promised the US will “take care of it.” Over 250 killed in fresh Israeli strikes, aid still stuck in chaos, and Trump’s pitching a controversial “freedom zone” plan that smells like occupation-lite. TL;DR: the bombs haven’t stopped, and neither has the spin.
