Dear LinkedIn community, The upcoming national election in Bangladesh on January 7, 2024, presents a unique and transformative process worth examining. Notably, this election will unfold without the participation of the country's two major political parties, BNPL and Sammona, as well as the absence of the left-wing democratic alliance, known for keeping a significant distance from the Awami League and BNP. To delve into the intriguing dynamics of this development, read the thought-provoking blog post at (https://ift.tt/ygS3GIT). #BangladeshElection #PoliticalShifts #OpinionPiece

#SAS #Intelligence #TravelSecurity #Nigeria: Nigerians are rejecting President Bola Tinubu's call to halt protests against the rising cost of living. Protesters in Lagos and Abuja are unsatisfied with the president's response, as he failed to address key issues such as the restoration of subsidies and reducing education costs. They also demand justice for the protesters who were killed recently. Amnesty International reported 13 deaths during clashes with security forces, while the police claim only seven deaths, citing reasons such as an explosive device, car accidents, and looting incidents. Tinubu stated in a televised broadcast that he is open to dialogue, but many protesters remain unconvinced. Some were chased by unidentified men in civilian clothing, and arrests have been made. Despite these challenges, the protesters are determined to continue their fight for change. They express frustration with the lack of police protection and criticize the government's response. Overall, Nigerians remain resolute in their demands and see little value in the president's recent statements. #Investigations #Intelligence #Securityservices #Executiveprotection #Securitymanagement #Travelrisk #Travelsecurity #Riskanalysis #Securitylogistic For info: S.A.S. investigations and security Phone: +39 0463 901545 Web: www.sasinvestigation.com Mail. info@sasinvestigation.com

Due to the security situation, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Ghulam Ali recently stated that it was challenging to conduct political activities in several areas of KP and Balochistan. In a similar vein, JUI-F leader Fazlur Rehman questioned whether elections could be held in the face of a "deteriorating" security environment. Caretaker Interior Minister Sarfraz Ahmed Bugti acknowledged the threat of terrorism faced by political leaders ahead of this week's elections, highlighting a general threat to political figures and a specific alert for the head of the JUI-F. Bugti also emphasized the government's readiness to ensure peaceful general elections. PPP's Baloch stated in an interview on Dawn News' "Doosra Rukh" that it was preferable to postpone elections in risky areas rather than calling off the polls completely. He emphasized, "It is not appropriate to postpone elections for seven to eight seats and derail the democracy in a country with 236 seats."He said that the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which is outlawed, posed a menace to both KP and Balochistan. The PPP leader stated, "The TTP's attacks in Balochistan are way higher than those by Baloch separatists," emphasizing that the banned group frequently attacked Kalat, Mastung, and the surrounding districts.

NIGERIA’S PRESENT SITUATION DOESN’T NEED PRAYERS; NOT TO TALK OF SPECIAL PRAYERS, IT NEEDS URGENT ACTION AND RESTITUTION. Nigeria's present problem is caused by human manipulation from 2015 election, especially in the 2023 presidential election that heralded Tinubu and Shettima. There is absolutely nothing anyone can do to make the TINUBU and SHETTIMA governments successful than to revert the deception and manipulations, but undoubtedly Nigerian next generation upon generation will regret their actions if the leaders remain silent.

In a significant step towards promoting non-violent politics, MQM Pakistan has initiated a ban prohibiting its members from carrying, using, or displaying weapons. This decision underscores MQM Pakistan's dedication to fostering peace and stability within the political realm. The directive issued by the MQM Coordination Committee emphasizes the party's stance as a pro-peace entity. Any violation of this directive, such as the display of arms or indulgence in aerial firing, will result in severe repercussions, including the expulsion of the member from the party. Following the 2024 general elections, where MQM secured National Assembly seats in Karachi, the party's involvement in government formation holds considerable significance. Consequently, ongoing discussions and meetings are taking place among MQM Pakistan, Muslim League-N, and other political entities to navigate the current political landscape. While discussions with MQM Pakistan are pending, sources indicate that the party has not yet provided a definitive response to inquiries from PML-N. The implementation of the weapons ban highlights MQM Pakistan's commitment to cultivating a peaceful political environment and distancing itself from activities that promote violence or instability. As the party continues to play a pivotal role in government formation discussions, maintaining its stance against violent politics remains a paramount objective for MQM Pakistan. #mqm  #weapon  #members  #bans #creativesandconcepts #creativespakistan

Since Nigeria’s Fourth Republic began in 1999, the political scene has undergone significant transformations. The number of political parties has fluctuated widely, from initial formations like the PDP, APP, and AD to later consolidations and new entrants like the APC. Despite this growth, internal conflicts and a lack of ideological clarity persist, affecting party cohesion and democratic stability. For Nigeria's democracy to strengthen, addressing these issues and enhancing party effectiveness in voter engagement and leadership recruitment are crucial steps forward. #NigeriaPolitics #FourthRepublic #PoliticalParties #KnowAfrika Read More: https://lnkd.in/dqFpFVMC
