In a world where it is increasingly difficult to find intelligent journalism on geopolitical issues, I can’t express how much I appreciate Warographics.
There are still many good sources. Nothing will ever be totally free of bias, but some places are better than others. Newsletters area great place to start. I highly recommend signing up for ‘The Conversation’. Otherwise, ‘Politico’ is a good source, if somewhat gossipy and US-central. Signing up for ‘The Diplomat’ and ‘Nikkei Asia’ newsletters will give you a few free articles on top of the newsletter without subscription and a good summary of Asia-Pacific news.
Warographics team are very intelligent and I know how thought provoking their work is. They shine a light upon the areas in the world that need attention, probably as it may not get the attention it needs. They have to carry on with their good work ❤
She was never a hero She's literally said she felt entitled to her father's legacy.That's the first sign of a dictator She put on a facade of advancing her country well simultaneously Taking away the people's rights.
As a young Bangladeshi, I am filled with pride for what my generation has achieved. We now look to remove dynasty politics and rise up like a phoenix as a young and thriving democracy. A stone has been lifted from my heart, and for the first time I can speak freely in 15 years. Thanks for covering this, and please give us another update.
Please don't stop brother. Resist tyranny. I'm all the way in the US and I weep for those I can't stand next to and help. I look with envy at people who can truly change the future of their country. It's beautiful. Do not give up.
Woah. Simon working overtime recently. Its like the worlds on fire. Genuinely hoping the Bangladeshi people come out of this for the better. Stay safe everyone. ❤️🙏🏻

She had done some terrible things that led to her downfall. She and her government presented infrastructure development as a replacement of democratic process and human rights. But in a democratic country, infrastructure and economic development should work hand in hand with democratic processes and preserving human rights and justice. But lawlessness has prevailed since aftermath of her departure and currently anarchy is reining supreme. I hope situation will improve under the interim government and democratic process will resume once again. But I am not too optimistic. The cycle of gaining power and preserving it by all means will keep repeating just like Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
9:05 And I re-emphasize that whatever development Bangladesh has experienced in the last 2 decades were at best attenuated by the corrupt bureaucracy of the Sheikh Mafia. During her rule, Bangladesh was an Indian vassal state. A more progressive government friendly to the financial and economic nexus of the Global North, counter to BRICS, would have made more progress. As of now, it's the Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus who's the Chief Advisor to the interim government. If Bangladesh can stir itself in the same direction as Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia, it'll be history in the making.
Not "allowed", encouraged. She was highly unpopular, even with the military. She is a nepo-baby autocrat who has repeatedly and flagrantlyspit in the face of her people. This happened because her hubris outgrew her authority.

We need more special operators and art of war episodes I been watching since young Simon was beardless and I’m a huge fan of wargraphics and those two mixed in with the rest is dope
As a Bangladeshi who took part in the protests & took a splinter bullet in the left eye. A ask those of other countries are questioning the revolution I ask you what would you have done? Would you accept anarchy for a day or two or live under the boot of a dictator who directs police to open live fire at the protesters? Because on the upto the 16th July the protest where peaceful, everybody wanted quota reform, not government change. But when from the 17th night when she directed the police & her political wing to beat student with guns, knives to clears public university versity halls, and when on 18th the directed again to open live fire on the protesters of private university, also open fired from helicopters where did she think this would go. She let power go to her head & paid the price for it. I rather live in a nation where there is chance for change, rather than live under a dictator who gets to murder her own people freely. We the students now have formed a interim government & hope to bring about the changes that will ensure everyone rights, ensure political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of to live your life as you want. No we do not want any political parties that ravaged the country for last 50 years to rule us once again. We want a fresh start. I do not know what the future will hold, but i can for the first in 15 years that our vote will count & I will consider that a victory for now.
Well i understand why world negatively react on your nation a lot of stable tried country already a lot of countries unstable due to regime everyone support the arab spring where arab remove their dictator and want democracy but insteal a lot of violence happen some regime did not change in nation some went went into civil war and extremist islamist take the part want iran like islamic government like syria and yemen so people banglsdesh so people does not want bangladesh do not those country i hope your people and your nation population would vote wisely i did hear there radical perties who does not care human rights and democratic want turn nation into radicalize i hope your government will secular and democratic
Hi Simon you predicted something like this before 2020 most probably on visualpolitik. Cannot find it. If possible could you please share the link. If my memory serves me right you mentioned something in the line of fundamentalist influence in the unrest and you were right. You haven't mentioned that here. All the other predictions you made there also true. Though the start of the protest was by normal students but then it was taken over by religious fundamentalist Jamat e Islam. They worked from the background. Nahid Islam is one of them in disguise along with the one in orange standing next to him. Would love to see a follow up video.

I laugh looking back at when this channel launched and it was clearly Simon's idea of talking about historical wars and topics but now is just too damn important too ignore and now it's more like newsographics
In my home country, the President who came to power through a "more than 85 year war of illegal occupation" by foreign powers. He Assumed office and refused to step down after the Constitutional two terms. So the once democraticly elected founding father almost went into dictatorial ways as he somehow sat more terms than the allowed. Luckily he stepped down.
Gosh, I have seen Indians blaming US and Europe for inciting Bangladesh coup, yet at the same time they behave like hypocrites in Myanmar when India has no qualm backing the pro-Russian/Chinese junta. As a Burmese, I am on the Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan population suffered from their corrupt governments.
The funny thing is India played a pivotal role in bringing Hasina to power. The ex-President of India Pranab Mukherjee exposed in his autobiography "The Coalition Years: 1996 to 2012" how he paved the way for Hasina to come to power. He detailed his intimate personal relationship with Sheikh Hasina and her family members, and some other important people in Bangladesh and how he used to interfere in Awami League's internal policies going as far as rebuking some of its leaders for not always being there for Hasina. Moreover, we know India’s former External Affairs Secretary Sujata Singh directly intervened into Bangladesh politics on the eve of the so-called parliamentary elections of January 5th 2014. She flew to Dhaka, and literally coerced Ershad into submission. Who, till his close-door meeting with Sujata Singh in Dhaka was unwilling to take part in the farcical elections, had to change his mind. He participated in the voter-less election just to pose as the "opposition". As desired by India, Ershad simply legitimized the continuity of Hasina’s brutal regime.
India didn't.....if it had so much influence neither would bangladesh have autocratic military rulers at their top nor a declared state religion while dumping minorities here since the 40s@sarahkareem1251
@@sarahkareem1251there is no use lying...bangladesh always acted on its free will...heck they are literally breaking busts of important historical figures connected to both nations history and India hasn't said anything....
@@stxfdt1240 Then maybe Indians should stop being so hysterical and posting lies and wild conspiracy theories on social media as they have been doing this ever since the dictator Hasina was brought down. Bangladesh has no autocratic military rulers another lie you just typed. Just recently the Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has taken power. The situation of the minorities in India isn't better than those in Bangladesh. Worry about your country and leave others alone.
@@sarahkareem1251 there are a billion+ Indians out there...who are you to assume who is hysterical or not out of the entire lot....there are Indian youtube channels with millions of subs who give genuine info and has spoken against hasina themselves....like Dhruv Rathee,Akash banerjee....these are 2 of the biggest youtubers in political and educational content....
He reads them that's it. He does a good job at it, but that's all he does. Researching, writing, editing etc etc all gets done by others. A script showes up, he reads it. Done.
Bad. Very bad. Warographics used to be about old conflicts and fun facts about castle sieges. Then they made a few current event posts, then more stuff happened and they made a few more, then the world exploded and now it is all they do. I like this, but I look forward to him talking about medieval war again.
I appreciate this channel being honest about Sheikh Hasina being a dictator unlike the Godi media in India who are painting her as a victim only because she bends the knee to Indian interests. Jay Bangla!
I sorry about there is also moderate nationalist aso concern your i understand hasina dictator some people concern because most bamgladesh always in hasina she is secular progressing her nation a lot of election so seeing news albiously where she run away from bangladesh through militry helicopter a lot of video where people destroy the staute of siekh mujibur rahman so people concern and she only secular party where bnp and jamaat only radical pro islamist anti india some people concern if election happen if bnp or jamaat came in power also militry remove her hasina and there is no secular party and a report of a lot of attack on hindu temple , house and shop it so a lot of immgrant will try run into albiously india does have space to absorb more immgrant india so some india people concern not going to the path into new pakistan or pakistan 2.0 where these radicalize the society and close border and no trade with india and at the there is also border terroism where some islamist terrorist organization will try attack north east or west bangal at hasina control the border but now she and bangladesh nationalist party already much anti india . India face nieghbor crisis like pakistan you already what happen in pakistan , indo china border dispute and myanmar civil war and sri lanka rajapaksa was fall in2022 and now your nation in under crisis so india already having unstable nieghbor country so most of just want to be bangladesh democrate neurtal toward not fully anti india like pakistan And i did read some news reporter and youtube some sort of conspircy that usa back the protestor because link where usa does not like hasina .hasina say usa want militry base in one of island but hasina and there is hasina usa try to broke some broke from bangladesh india and myanmar to form christan in the region to get militry base and usa do not allow her to enter in the country usa support them also usa already long history to remove the anti usa regime And i already write huge comment it just neutral and moderate perpective and reaction of your nation situation
@@runajain5773 nothing you wrote was neutral. You are basically bashing me and Bangladeshis for having grievances against a dictator and downplaying the oppression. Second of all, the US was not involved, the revolution was homegrown but what is true, that India helped Hasina rig the election and got caught red handed by Western outlets like the BBC. No one outside India really buys the US ousted Hasina, it does not benefit them stragically. Last of all, have some sympathy for your neighbors. The people being insensitive to Bangladeshis are Indians who are upset that their puppet got ousted.
Indian interest are the best for the Desi & South Asian race. We helped you when Pakistan massacred you in your own streets The Indian subcontinent & all its people should be united & strong. We are not enemies, our borders were drawn by white men. We are the same blood & we are brothers & sisters Every drop of the ocean of Desi blood spilled in the last 1000 years was because we weren't united
As a boy, I'd sit with my family and listen idly to Channel S and ATN News, not really understanding what was said or what my family said about it. There was a storm of revolution and turmoil, right under my little nose... I have much to catch up on.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely, no better words to describe the despicable greed and desire for power that infects so many people in positions of authority. This story is exceptionally sad that the victim of political violence became the exact thing that was responsible for her own suffering and loss. Eventually, people will willingly sacrifice their lives to save their fellow countrymen and families from their governments and dictatorships. I hope they find peace and justice soon now that their source of suffering is gone
It should literally be a law that you cannot hold a government position or at least be prime minister if you were awarded the UNESCO Peace Prize... too much power can corrupt anyone.
I remember my news feed talking about the "president fleeing the country after protesters breached the presidential palace" or something like that and being concerned by the use of the word protesters

We also saw first hand how the "religion of peace" treats people from different religions...
Sure sure. It's not like people of other religions are all goody goody 😂
@@sebresludolf9611no major Christian, Hinduist or buddhist nations at war or collapsing at the moment
God's chosen people do treats Palestinian kids well do they?
@@sebresludolf9611Most other religions have grown out of that phase
yes, we Muslims protected temples, churches and other religious buildings, and my Hindu friends praise. Those who damaged Non-Islamic religious buildings, are not Muslims, but kafirs. Them calling themselves Muslims those not make themselves so.
We need more special operators and art of war episodes I been watching since young Simon was beardless and I’m a huge fan of wargraphics and those two mixed in with the rest is dope
The price of food due to wars is the main instigator of many conflicts.
definately gonna need an update video
As a Bangladeshi who took part in the protests & took a splinter bullet in the left eye. A ask those of other countries are questioning the revolution I ask you what would you have done? Would you accept anarchy for a day or two or live under the boot of a dictator who directs police to open live fire at the protesters?
Because on the upto the 16th July the protest where peaceful, everybody wanted quota reform, not government change. But when from the 17th night when she directed the police & her political wing to beat student with guns, knives to clears public university versity halls, and when on 18th the directed again to open live fire on the protesters of private university, also open fired from helicopters where did she think this would go. She let power go to her head & paid the price for it.
I rather live in a nation where there is chance for change, rather than live under a dictator who gets to murder her own people freely.
We the students now have formed a interim government & hope to bring about the changes that will ensure everyone rights, ensure political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of to live your life as you want. No we do not want any political parties that ravaged the country for last 50 years to rule us once again. We want a fresh start.
I do not know what the future will hold, but i can for the first in 15 years that our vote will count & I will consider that a victory for now.
Well i understand why world negatively react on your nation a lot of stable tried country already a lot of countries unstable due to regime everyone support the arab spring where arab remove their dictator and want democracy but insteal a lot of violence happen some regime did not change in nation some went went into civil war and extremist islamist take the part want iran like islamic government like syria and yemen so people banglsdesh so people does not want bangladesh do not those country i hope your people and your nation population would vote wisely i did hear there radical perties who does not care human rights and democratic want turn nation into radicalize i hope your government will secular and democratic
Please do follow this up as it evolves!
I was waiting for this episode
Please keep us updated.
Bless you for being a voice to many.
Hi Simon you predicted something like this before 2020 most probably on visualpolitik. Cannot find it. If possible could you please share the link. If my memory serves me right you mentioned something in the line of fundamentalist influence in the unrest and you were right. You haven't mentioned that here. All the other predictions you made there also true. Though the start of the protest was by normal students but then it was taken over by religious fundamentalist Jamat e Islam. They worked from the background. Nahid Islam is one of them in disguise along with the one in orange standing next to him. Would love to see a follow up video.
Seems like South Asia is enduring a wave of collapse rather than developing. Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and maybe the Maldives, Nepal and India next?
Wait, what happened in Pakistan!? Holy fuck, I feel like things are happening so fast idk what is going on!
@@noahgray543 a total economic crisis is happening in Pakistan. It is in a total struggle now.
@@luishernandezblonde and do not forget what pakistani militry did to imran khan i do not think maldives will face the crisis as we know that maldives island nation there is less chance coup and chaos and maldives have democracy nepal already have face crisis in 1990s to 2003-4 where there hade civil war between the maoist and nepali king where communist want remove the king after civil war nepali king was remove and become full democracy in nepal most of party are left leaning althought i did news a lot of pro monarchy movement due nepali parties fail to develop other part of region and there is a lot of corruption and had rise chistain converson and missionary happening and india i am indian i will say india a lot of political shitshow happen between ruling party and opposition and central state government it true a insurgent and naxalist(india communist maoist) but they topple the government and indian constitution very much strong in india there is no militry coup india try not no let militry into indian political affair rather militry already had to deal with indian border issue i do not think any india will rebal or try not take indipendence from india if that happen there will presidential or internal emergency full miltry force active and that party declear anti national and might party sent into prison for against central government and nobady want turn into balkan or collaspe of yugoslavia stuff
i love how the image of the London bridge has that eye sore of the cell phone shaped tower that melts cars lmao.
It makes it even better when you know that same architect built other structures with the same problem.
Wowzers another emergency episode it's almost as if the whole world is on fuckin fire or something 🤦🏻♀️🙄
I laugh looking back at when this channel launched and it was clearly Simon's idea of talking about historical wars and topics but now is just too damn important too ignore and now it's more like newsographics
As it has always been...
We didn't start the fire; it was always burning since the world's been turning.
@@justinarthur1451 we didn't start the fire!
Americans started all this it will end with the Jews
In my home country, the President who came to power through a "more than 85 year war of illegal occupation" by foreign powers. He Assumed office and refused to step down after the Constitutional two terms. So the once democraticly elected founding father almost went into dictatorial ways as he somehow sat more terms than the allowed. Luckily he stepped down.
We would like an update episode!
An interim civil government (no member of any political party) is forming led by noble laureate professor Dr. Mohammad Yunus.
"That's how time works".... Thanks, Mr. Whistler. I always wondered. 😂
Ikr? What would we do without his insight? XD
@@noahgray543 😂
Gosh, I have seen Indians blaming US and Europe for inciting Bangladesh coup, yet at the same time they behave like hypocrites in Myanmar when India has no qualm backing the pro-Russian/Chinese junta. As a Burmese, I am on the Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan population suffered from their corrupt governments.
The funny thing is India played a pivotal role in bringing Hasina to power. The ex-President of India Pranab Mukherjee exposed in his autobiography "The Coalition Years: 1996 to 2012" how he paved the way for Hasina to come to power. He detailed his intimate personal relationship with Sheikh Hasina and her family members, and some other important people in Bangladesh and how he used to interfere in Awami League's internal policies going as far as rebuking some of its leaders for not always being there for Hasina.
Moreover, we know India’s former External Affairs Secretary Sujata Singh directly intervened into Bangladesh politics on the eve of the so-called parliamentary elections of January 5th 2014. She flew to Dhaka, and literally coerced Ershad into submission. Who, till his close-door meeting with Sujata Singh in Dhaka was unwilling to take part in the farcical elections, had to change his mind. He participated in the voter-less election just to pose as the "opposition". As desired by India, Ershad simply legitimized the continuity of Hasina’s brutal regime.
India didn't.....if it had so much influence neither would bangladesh have autocratic military rulers at their top nor a declared state religion while dumping minorities here since the 40s@sarahkareem1251
@@sarahkareem1251there is no use lying...bangladesh always acted on its free will...heck they are literally breaking busts of important historical figures connected to both nations history and India hasn't said anything....
@@stxfdt1240 Then maybe Indians should stop being so hysterical and posting lies and wild conspiracy theories on social media as they have been doing this ever since the dictator Hasina was brought down. Bangladesh has no autocratic military rulers another lie you just typed. Just recently the Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has taken power. The situation of the minorities in India isn't better than those in Bangladesh. Worry about your country and leave others alone.
@@sarahkareem1251 there are a billion+ Indians out there...who are you to assume who is hysterical or not out of the entire lot....there are Indian youtube channels with millions of subs who give genuine info and has spoken against hasina themselves....like Dhruv Rathee,Akash banerjee....these are 2 of the biggest youtubers in political and educational content....
love your content Simon, but what's with the vignette ?
i remember seeing a plane leaving bangladesh and having 30,000 viewers and wondering why, now i know it was hasina fleeing
Please continue with another video regarding the ongoing Bangladesh situation
I don't read about ongoing conflicts as they happen, I just wait for Simon to make a video about it.
does Simon ever sleep? 😂😂 the content is nonstop not that I'm complaining.
When the cameras are off him he just...shuts down
He reads them that's it. He does a good job at it, but that's all he does. Researching, writing, editing etc etc all gets done by others. A script showes up, he reads it. Done.
This just notified me & two days late...
There are some weeks where decades happen...
Thanks Simon
i dont even think you have to ask if we want an update this is the way i start most mornings between different journalist
17:11 Sounds like what my country went through in late June.
Reported deaths of students is 250, however, the true number is much much higher.
Yeh a lot of report 1000 people died in protest there are a lot of photo they buried protestor body
Our world is on fire…this is the third “Emergency Episode” this month…AND ITS ONLY BEEN A WEEK!!!!!!
Damn Warographics is hot this week. I don’t know if that’s a good sign or bad sign.
Bad. Very bad. Warographics used to be about old conflicts and fun facts about castle sieges. Then they made a few current event posts, then more stuff happened and they made a few more, then the world exploded and now it is all they do.
I like this, but I look forward to him talking about medieval war again.
I appreciate this channel being honest about Sheikh Hasina being a dictator unlike the Godi media in India who are painting her as a victim only because she bends the knee to Indian interests.
Jay Bangla!
I sorry about there is also moderate nationalist aso concern your i understand hasina dictator some people concern because most bamgladesh always in hasina she is secular progressing her nation a lot of election so seeing news albiously where she run away from bangladesh through militry helicopter a lot of video where people destroy the staute of siekh mujibur rahman so people concern and she only secular party where bnp and jamaat only radical pro islamist anti india some people concern if election happen if bnp or jamaat came in power also militry remove her hasina and there is no secular party and a report of a lot of attack on hindu temple , house and shop it so a lot of immgrant will try run into albiously india does have space to absorb more immgrant india so some india people concern not going to the path into new pakistan or pakistan 2.0 where these radicalize the society and close border and no trade with india and at the there is also border terroism where some islamist terrorist organization will try attack north east or west bangal at hasina control the border but now she and bangladesh nationalist party already much anti india . India face nieghbor crisis like pakistan you already what happen in pakistan , indo china border dispute and myanmar civil war and sri lanka rajapaksa was fall in2022 and now your nation in under crisis so india already having unstable nieghbor country so most of just want to be bangladesh democrate neurtal toward not fully anti india like pakistan
And i did read some news reporter and youtube some sort of conspircy that usa back the protestor because link where usa does not like hasina .hasina say usa want militry base in one of island but hasina and there is hasina usa try to broke some broke from bangladesh india and myanmar to form christan in the region to get militry base and usa do not allow her to enter in the country usa support them also usa already long history to remove the anti usa regime
And i already write huge comment it just neutral and moderate perpective and reaction of your nation situation
@@runajain5773 nothing you wrote was neutral. You are basically bashing me and Bangladeshis for having grievances against a dictator and downplaying the oppression.
Second of all, the US was not involved, the revolution was homegrown but what is true, that India helped Hasina rig the election and got caught red handed by Western outlets like the BBC. No one outside India really buys the US ousted Hasina, it does not benefit them stragically.
Last of all, have some sympathy for your neighbors. The people being insensitive to Bangladeshis are Indians who are upset that their puppet got ousted.
Indian interest are the best for the Desi & South Asian race. We helped you when Pakistan massacred you in your own streets
The Indian subcontinent & all its people should be united & strong. We are not enemies, our borders were drawn by white men. We are the same blood & we are brothers & sisters
Every drop of the ocean of Desi blood spilled in the last 1000 years was because we weren't united
Gonna have to do the Bangla-Dash up on outta there.
book it to a bungalow.😂
Is this video age restricted for anyone else?
What a great time to be alive 🥲
No one to blame but India
Lol how
Simon doing overtime for WarOGraphics this week, everybody decided to let loose at the same time.
Good video, but we're gonna need an update V soon 😢
As a Bangladeshi I can conform this video is very accurate
I would like to see follow up on Venezuela and Bangladesh. Please
As a boy, I'd sit with my family and listen idly to Channel S and ATN News, not really understanding what was said or what my family said about it. There was a storm of revolution and turmoil, right under my little nose... I have much to catch up on.
Go Bangladesh. People have the power!
Absolute power corrupts absolutely, no better words to describe the despicable greed and desire for power that infects so many people in positions of authority.
This story is exceptionally sad that the victim of political violence became the exact thing that was responsible for her own suffering and loss. Eventually, people will willingly sacrifice their lives to save their fellow countrymen and families from their governments and dictatorships. I hope they find peace and justice soon now that their source of suffering is gone
It should literally be a law that you cannot hold a government position or at least be prime minister if you were awarded the UNESCO Peace Prize... too much power can corrupt anyone.
I remember my news feed talking about the "president fleeing the country after protesters breached the presidential palace" or something like that and being concerned by the use of the word protesters
Please do a follow up
Hope my friend is safe, I don't know if he's in the States or Bangladesh rn, haven't heard from him
World is in a real chaotic state all over right now
Make a video about forthcoming invasion of Bangladesh.
An update a few months later would be good
Warographics does God work while the world plunges into chaos
...wouldn't it be more accurate that Warographics *describes* Gods work?
Update episode, please and thank you
As information is available, an update would be welcome.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely...
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Please give us an update the whole situation
Apparently for my birthday, Bangladesh ousted a dictator. Fingers crossed things go well for Bangladesh going forward.
Daughter of a dictator is, surprise, a dictator
Please make a follow up with the new Interim Government in place
