Mutiny

Today the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR,) a division of the armed forces, mutinied for better pay and for autonomy - their officers are traditionally from the army. There has been fighting in Dhaka and tension in at least one other BDR camp.
In the late afternoon it looked as if a mutually acceptable solution had been found, but negotiations resumed at 9:30 pm because the BDR would not surrender for fear that the army would not honour the general amnesty declared by the prime minister earlier.
This is not a conflict that effects us a great deal in this part of the country, but it is a cause for prayer that the government will be able to maintain law and order.

I will go to bed and sleep, but before that I would like you to join in prayer for Bangladesh and all the people who feel they don't get the recognition they deserve. Pray for God's provisions for all, for justice for the oppressed and for a willingness to sacrifice not through dying but through living for others.
