Bangladesh Lifts Ban on Jamaat-e-Islami

On Wednesday, Bangladesh's new authorities lifted the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami, the country’s largest Islamist party. They reversed the previous ban, which had been imposed on August 1, 2024, during the final days of Sheikh Hasina’s rule. The government announced, “We have canceled the previous order of August 1, 2024, that banned Bangladesh's Jamaat-e-Islami. This decision is effective immediately.” Jamaat-e-Islami had faced several restrictions in recent years, including bans on participating in elections in 2014, 2018, and again in January 2024.

This should lead to some improvement in internet speeds. However, repairing the SMW4 cable will take a few more weeks. This means that while there may be some progress so...

These affordable, pliable arms could soon be integrated...
