AL rife with factional clashes, 28 killed in 5 months

Bangladesh’s ruling Awami League faces internal turmoil, with 28 party members killed in factional clashes over the past five months. Recent incidents include the murders of three local leaders in Rajshahi, Chapainawabganj, and Narayanganj. The conflicts stem from power struggles, illegal businesses, and election-related tensions.
