Bangladesh - When kingdoms fall, and rulers flee, 'THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS'
The palace gates swing wide as kingdoms collapse. Protesters also make a determined effort to enter the palaces as the kings flee. Protesters in Dhaka carried out just that. As a wave of protestors marched towards the PM's mansion, Ganabhaban, they entered after Sheikh Hasina submitted her resignation and departed the country. Commoners have overrun the leader's home in other countries besides bangladesh when the system collapsed. This was also seen in the fall of kingdoms in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Sri Lanka.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, the PM's residence shows a guy laying on a bed. He is seen conversing with individuals while lying back on the bed. "We are in charge of Gonobhobon," he declares. people may be seen robbing the PM's home of television sets, chairs, and tables in another video. people were ravaging freezers and kitchens while they gorged on fish and biryani. Visuals also revealed that a large number of individuals fled carrying live goats, ducks, and uncooked seafood.
Another video that went viral showed a guy at the Ganabhaban campus with a huge facsimile of a fish on display. The enormous fish model could represent the Hilsa, the nation's official fish and a cherished species. Her saree and a Dior luggage were taken by others. Hasina loved wearing sarees and possessed a sizable collection.
The ransacker posing with female pants that had been taken from Ganabhaban was one of the ugliest moments. bangladesh is among the nations that have witnessed such theft in the past five years. This was also observed in other locations where the monarch had been overthrown. It may be the outcome of people's declarations and a display of symbolic captivity following an era of totalitarian governance. Most see it as a free-for-all celebration following the removal of a powerful leader.
SWIMMING IN GOTABAYA RAJAPAKSA'S PALACE IN 2022
In 2022, following President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's departure from sri lanka due to demonstrations, demonstrators broke down the doors of the presidential palace. According to NPR, protestors entered the palace, which had a huge dinner table, a lounge with couches, and a private swimming pool. The BBC said that a guy wearing a presidential flag was seen on a bed at the President's mansion in a video. Viral videos have surdata-faced showing guys leaping on the presidential bed.
Protesters swimming in the pool came next. They went inside the office and the bedroom as well. Additionally, they went through the President's personal possessions. The image of the three lads browsing through their phones is one of the most popular posts on social media in Sri Lanka. It is not unusual for young boys to be browsing through their phones, unless they are at the President's mansion. There were large windows in the room, a hardwood bed surrounded by lovely carpets and carvings, and the lads could be seen browsing through their phones while lying in bed.
