It is an unbelievable day for the nation as Sheikh Hasina, the dictator who controlled the media, law enforcement agencies, and legal system, has just fled from Bangladesh. As a result, people have revived democracy and are celebrating the victory. It is a hard slap to the face of an arrogant fascist ruler.
This morning, I was very sad to find out that they had turned off the internet. I was worried about the students, as the police had killed many during the last internet shutdown. I was deeply disappointed, but the whole nation became joyful upon hearing that she had fled the country.
I went to TSC and Shahid Minar to join the celebrations, and I saw that everyone on the streets was very happy and openly raising their voices, something that had been missing from our country. I am 30 years old and have never been able to vote with my own consent. I just hope for a future where I can raise my voice without fear.

It is 5 AM, and the entire nation is awake with anticipation, as the road march to Dhaka (name of the movement) is set to take place tomorrow. There is a widespread hope for a peaceful victory, as no one desires any bloodshed. In recent days, we have witnessed numerous distressing events, including today, when over 100 people, including students, police officers, and civilians, lost their lives. Everyone is hoping for a positive resolution to this situation.
