Bangladesh PM, Sheikh Hasina, caved to the wave of protests and snuck out of the country to India on Monday, effectively resigning from her post. In case you missed it, hundreds sadly lost their lives in clashes against police to protest a bill where 30% of jobs would be saved for citizens/their families who fought against Pakistan ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
WHAT is going on in the UK, guys?! Turns out the far right has stoked the worst racist attacks on British Muslims, started by Tommy Robinson’s social media rant about the secretiveness of the Southport stabbings. He clearly pointed a finger at “radicals” and “immigrants,” which resulted in violent mobs setting Muslim-owned business on fire AND a man chasing a Muslim couple in their car with a chainsaw (!!) 😱😱
Video footage has been leaked of the Israeli soldiers using shields to obscure themselves from security cameras as they sodomized a Palestinian hostage with a metal rod. P.s. 2 of these soldiers also failed a polygraph test when questioned about said rape/abuse of the detainee. If you don’t trust the victim account, trust the machine?? #liarliar 😓🙊

If you’re working for the government in Dubai, you may be working too hard… or at least that’s what the government is saying… A reduction of working hours and suspension of Friday operations is in the cards as Dubai looks to participate in the “Our Flexible Summer” initiative 🏖️
It’s not just you in the mornings… but also Egypt’s inflation which has been slowing down for the 5th month straight! That being said, levels are ridiculously high at around 25% and one Akhbaar reader asked us to highlight the cost of transportation and basic goods becoming unbearable 📉

Could be you on a Friday afternoon soon
