On Sunday night, fresh and intense clashes broke out between students and members of Ansar, a paramilitary auxiliary force, near the Secretariat in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Dhaka Tribune reports that the confrontation resulted in several injuries on both sides. This latest conflict comes despite Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina having left the country more than two weeks ago. Previously, the same university students had staged a month-long protest calling for the removal of controversial job reservations. However, this recent clash was not directed at the government but rather with the Ansar force, which was protesting for the nationalisation of their jobs.
