The 2015 Bangladeshi political crisis is an ongoing state of political turmoil between the two main political parties of Bangladesh,the Awami League (AL) led by prime minister Sheikh Hasina who is currently in power,and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in opposition,led by three time former prime minister Khaleda Zia. Following the controversial 2014 Bangladeshi general election,the BNP raised several demands for a second election under a neutral caretaker government. By 5 January 2015,the first anniversary of the election,their demands were not met and the BNP initiated countrywide protests and traffic blockades. After many violent and fatal attacks on the public by alleged BNP protesters,the AL branded the BNP as terrorists and Khaleda Zia was forcefully confined to her office. The BNP then called the international community for support,but other nations were reluctant to intervene as the BNP's reputation was damaged by the violence and the international community reiterated that the disputes should be handled peacefully.
