This is a good commentary from a leading Bangladeshi newspaper as to what ails Bangladesh and its politics of thrust and parry. It indicates that Bangladesh's interest is not paramount to either of the leading political parties. It is merely the intent to stay in power, by hook or by crook and...

Here we go again.

Yesterday, August 16 at 4pm Singapore time, the Rainbow Warrior - the Greenpeace flagship - was handed over to the organisation Friendship, a Bangladesh based NGO which specialises in medical care and emergency relief. The Rainbow Warrior has been renamed "Rongdhonu", Bengali for Rainbow. The...
