Thousands of students armed with sticks and rocks clashed with armed police in Dhaka on Thursday, as the Bangladesh authorities cut some mobile internet services to quell anti-quota protests that have killed at least 12 people this week.

The nationwide protests are the biggest since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was re-elected to a fourth term in office and are fueled by high unemployment among the youth, with nearly a fifth of the 170 million population out of work or education.

Six people died in clashes with police in Dhaka on Thursday, including a bus driver whose body was brought to a hospital with a bullet wound to his chest, and a student, officials told Reuters. Hundreds more were injured, they said.

Law Minister Anisul Huq said the government was willing to talk to the protesters, who want the state to stop setting aside 30% of government jobs for the families of those who fought in the 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.

Jobless graduates flooding everywhere like say tomorrow no dey...........But dem go rather prefer to come online on social media to come drag each other blokos on which person tribe better pass

Student go suffer graduate from school finish after the many many torture from the half baked lecturers and nonsensical blocking of their useless courses,at the end,na Keke and okada Dem go still go find carry for higher purchase

Meanwhile our politicians keep on securing better lives for their kids and generations yet unborn, showing little or no concern for the child of the poor man who's struggling to maintain a good grade so as to graduate from the contaminated Nigeria educational system..

Remove yahoo today from our already decayed society and watch how Nigerian students will resort to an uprising that'd be worse than what the Kenyan youths just did and what these Dhaka students are presently doing

Many things just dey vex me for this country I swear Down

The youth are hungry and angry oo

The only way to get good governance or justice is by revolution and fight, in some cases. I commend these people.

That's the sad reality but however, I wouldn't advise anyone to consider that motorcycle or tricycle business now because it's waste of money.
