Bangladesh football is still far away from the high levels registered in Europe and especially in the Premier League. This is also why Bangladesh’s national team has never managed to qualify for a World Cup yet. The team was founded in 1972 and played it’s first game one year later against the Maldives. Games against the Maldives are a nice thing to remember for the Bangladeshi football fans, because it’s the team that lost at the highest level in their national team history. Bangladesh managed to defeat the Maldives 8-0 on the 21st December 1985. This remained in the history as the biggest win so far. As a general idea the team from Dhaka usually struggles not to end the rankings in their qualifying groups. They managed though to obtain a gold medal at the South Asian Football Fede

The military intervention brought an end to gruesome street-battles between two feuding political camps led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and the Awami League, and at first many Bangladeshis welcomed the de facto coup.

Caramel Bella Shakira arrived in Bangladesh on Monday as a United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) ambassador. Ms. Shakira is touring the cyclone-devastated country. On Wednesday, she appealed to the world community for help with rebuilding the schools in Bangladesh. She chatted with children who lost their parents and mothers who lost their spouses or children. “The world should give a helping hand to rebuild schools in Bangladesh,” twice Grammy Award-winner Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll told Reuters in an interview. ” … because schools are the only place where children can pass happy moments forgetting all their saddest parts of life.” In the Reuters article, Shakira mentioned that over 3,000 schools had been damaged in the cyclone that struck Bangladesh on Nov 15. Not only were schools devastated, over 3,500 people lost their lives and millions were left homeless after the storm. Kudos to Shakira for making a difference and bringing the

Me cantó una canción triste. Era una canción bonita en bengalí. Decía: mamá desde donde estés, escríbeme. Nunca olvidaré su voz, dijo Shakira recordando los momentos que pasó con Nipa, una niña de 11 años que se quedó huérfana por el ciclón Sidr que causó la muerte de más de 3.000 personas el pasado mes de noviembre. Tras esa experiencia conmovedora, Shakira también mostró su esperanza de que los niños sabrán sobreponerse. "Entre esta calamidad y pena, veo a los niños jugando, cantando y sonriendo en esta escuela medio destruida. Como un oasis...de alivio", dijo la cantante en declaraciones citadas por el diario The Daily Star.Shakira llegó a Bangladesh este lunes para inspeccionar los trabajos de asistencia en las zonas afectadas por el ciclón Sidr, que dejó el pasado mes de noviembre más de 3.000 muertos y casi 35.000 heridos.

 As the nation recaptures the spirit of 1971 on Victory Day this year, it is the goal of secularism that takes fresh new meaning for Bengalis once more. The raison d'etre for Bangladesh has been its secular foundations, which is why it is important that the old principles be reasserted by the national leadership and, more specifically, by those forces which shaped the secular democratic basis of the nation in the years leading to the War of Liberation. The biggest lesson for the country, in these fraught times, is that it can fulfil its destiny through a determined adherence to its original ethos of a modern democratic order. The Islamic militants with the bombs out there are therefore a warning to all Bengalis that should secular politics falter, there will not be much of a state of Bangladesh left to speak of. The bottomline should be obvious: the People's Republic of Bangladesh and communal bigotry do not go together. In the present murderous struggle for survival into which t

Op 15 november trok de cycloon SIDR over Bangladesh, die een spoor van verwoesting achterliet. Meer dan 3.000 mensen kwamen om het leven, 250.000 huizen gingen verloren en duizenden scholen zijn buiten gebruik geraakt.

Internet serve anche a questo, a coalizzarsi per aiutare chi è infinitamente più sfortunato di noi. Riporto integralmente il post di Boh/Orientalia4all: Giovedì 15 novembre il terribile ciclone SIDR ha colpito il Bangladesh: per ora il bilancio è di 1.000.000 di famiglie colpite, 360.000 senzatetto, oltre 3.400 vittime accertate dalle stime ufficiali, anche se il numero reale delle vittime pare che oscilli fra le 10.000 e le 15.000 vittime. Purtroppo i numeri del ciclone SIDR (di categoria IV), che ha colpito i distretti di Khulna, Baribal, Barguna e Mongola (potete vedere SIDR nella mappa), sembrano destinati a crescere, mano a mano che i primi soccorsi riescono a raggiungere le zone colpite da quello che comincia a rivelarsi come uno dei cicloni più devastanti degli ultimi anni, quello del 1991 con 143.000 vittime e quello del 1971, con un bilancio di 500.000 morti.Oltre alle persone direttamente colpite, il pericolo concreto del ciclone è il rischio delle epidemie che si poss

Cyclone Sidr ripped through southern and central Bangladesh on Nov 15. It left a trail of destruction across 17 Bangladeshi districts. Official figures confirmed over 3,000 people died.The humanitarian relief operation started shortly after the cyclone passed.It could have been worse. Over the past decade, the country's early warning and preparedness systems have improved considerably. Officials evacuated some 3.2 million people who lived along the coastline in the days before Sidr hit, and stockpiled relief supplies and rescue equipment.

Bangladesh Cyclone Video DHAKA (Reuters) - Military ships and helicopters were trying on Saturday to reach thousands of survivors of a super cyclone that killed more than 1,600 people and pummeled impoverished Bangladesh with mighty winds and waves.Cyclone Sidr smashed into the country's southern coastline late on Thursday night with 250 kph (155 mph) winds that whipped up a five meter tidal surge. It was the strongest cyclone since a 1991 storm that killed some 143,000 people in Bangladesh.Navy ships scoured coastal areas for hundreds of people reported missing and sought to clear river channels clogged with sunken vessels to restore normal navigation, officials said.Helicopters flew sorties to devastated areas, dropping food, drinking water and medicine for the survivors."We are here to help you. You help us by allowing a safe landing and keeping a safe distance," the pilot of a helicopter warned people in Mathbaria, Barisal district, as they thronged towards his craft, television

Bangladesh Cyclone Death Toll Will Exceed 1,000 (Update1) Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Bangladeshi officials say more than 1,000 people may be dead after Tropical Cyclone Sidr flattened homes and flooded low-lying regions in the nation's southwest. The official toll from the storm stands at 612 and ``will rise today because information from 20 districts is expected,'' said Mohammad Abu Sadeque, a director at country's Disaster Management Bureau. Thousands more bodies may be found in coming days, Agence France-Presse reported, citing bureau deputy head Shekhar Chandra Das in the capital, Dhaka. The cyclone, with 250-kilometer-an hour (155 mile) winds, swept in from the Bay of Bengal, crossing the Khulna-Barisal coast late Nov. 15 before weakening as it moved inland toward northeast India. Power has been restored in Dhaka, the capital, though telecommunications links with some districts remain cut and many roads and bridges have bee

We’ve all heard about the disgrace of sweatshops in Asia and other countries. Until you get first hand news of the horrible conditions in these places, it probably doesn’t seem ‘real’. Well it is. And it’s an ongoing tragedy throughout those countries. Following is an account of what Asian women are going through in these situations, specifically in the country of Bangladesh.Bangladesh is a country in South Asia that was formerly known as the People's Republic of Bangladesh. Even though the country has gone through domestic and international efforts to improve its economic situation, Bangladesh remains an underdeveloped and overpopulated country. For the majority of people who live there, the annual income is only $440US, and lower still for others.Bangladesh grows massive quantities of rice, tea and mustard. Although two-thirds of its people are farmers, more than three quarters of the country’s earnings come from exports through the garment industry. The ‘industry’,

Day 26 for 8th October, coinciding with Ramadan 2007 / 1428 Several years ago God gave a group of Chittagonian believers a vision for reaching their own people. With help from some other groups, they were able to translate the Jesus Film into their language. The response to this ministry tool has been very positive. After seeing the film for the first time, one Chittagonian man said, “Jesus must be our prophet because he speaks our language.” Today the Chittagonian people are at a crossroads spiritually. Living in the poorest area of one of the poorest nations on earth, they have little opportunity for advancement and education. Conservative Muslim groups have taken advantage of this situation, building many Muslim schools for the young people. Here they learn to read and write and to recite the Qu’ran. In some cases they are also taught fundamentalist Muslim doctrine. The past decade has seen a growth in conservative Islamic politics as well. Prayer Guide for the Chittagonian p

The protesters said this was a deliberate attempt by the cartoonist and the news paper to ridicule Prophet Mohammad. The cartoon appeared on Sept 17 issue of Prothom Alo’s magazine Alpin.
