So the 'gun battle' turned into a bloody mutiny of Bangladesh's border troops in Dhaka, complete with horrendous mass graves, mutilated bodies, and nation-wide condemnation. It looks as if things are settling down now, but this is a scary and sad reminder that democracy and law and order in Bangladesh remain fragile.
Fingers crossed the new Government can respond to the crisis in a way which satisfies the public, and strengthens rather than depletes faith in her party's leadership. I'm not quite ready to come home yet.

OMG - here I am worrying about getting the keys for my shop and your worrying about stray bullets and tumbling into mass graves! Definitely puts things into perspective!
