What starts as a public health crisis often turns out to be far more than that, the cost of ignored warnings, institutional failure, and the absence of accountability.

Once regarded as a global success story in measles control, Bangladesh has now plunged into one of its most severe outbreaks in recent memory. Behind this crisis lies a controversial policy shift, the collapse of a long-standing partnership with UNICEF, nationwide vaccine shortages, and the dangerous decline of immunisation coverage.

In this paper, we examine how a preventable disease evolved into a national epidemic and why restoring trust, transparency, and international cooperation has become more urgent than ever.

Join the conversation with Notre Dame International Peace and Harmony Club.

One geopolitical decision in February 2026 set off a chain of events that ended up inside every household in Bangladesh. Fuel queues stretched hundreds of meters across Dhaka. Power cuts ran six to eight hours a day. Farmers could not afford to run their irrigation pumps.

The 2026 fuel crisis did not spare anyone. It drove Brent crude from under $70 to a peak of $128 per barrel within weeks. It pushed Bangladesh's chronic energy vulnerabilities into full public view, from illegal fuel hoarding to industrial slowdowns in Gazipur and Narayanganj to the very real risk of international buyers shifting their garment orders to Vietnam or China.

The story of the 2026 fuel crisis is not just about oil. It is about how connected and how exposed the world really is. Let us take a full-fledged drive into the crisis.

We have often seen the world of geopolitics being unpredictable and complex to interpret. Part of the reason remains our continuous treatment of geopolitics separate to a game being played by a myriad of players.

Game Theory states that the outcomes of any system can be predicted accurately given that all players follow a rational line of logic. Game theory assumes rational actors, with each move calculated, each incentive weighed, and each defection a deliberate choice. In the age of Industry 4.0, we cannot call the modern states, the players of today's geopolitics, to be anything but calculative to the very end. In May 2024, three things were true and almost nobody was saying them out loud. Game theory doesn't predict the future. It maps the incentives of the present, if you follow those honestly, the future has a way of becoming considerably less surprising.

Welcome to the first edition of The Popcorn Perspective, the fun insights into global politics and international relations where we will delve deep into extraordinarily large events with unbelievably interesting backgrounds, all with a flavor of simple infotainment. In the pioneering release of this edition, we look at one of the most consequential conflicts of our time through the cold lenses of structure: who the players are, what they actually want, and why the outcome nobody designed is precisely the one everyone helped build.

Because here is the thing about games. By the time you realize the rules weren't written for you, you are already several moves in.

The Game Nobody Wanted to Play. Now on our page.

You might be wondering what a Model United Nations event actually is and how an individual can really dive into the realm of Model United Nations, i.e. MUN.

“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” - Buddha.

On this auspicious occasion of Buddha Purnima, the Notre Dame International Peace and Harmony Club sends warm wishes to all members of our community and beyond. May the teachings of Lord Buddha guide us with compassion, wisdom and inner peace. In a world often filled with tension and division, his message reminds us that true peace starts in the heart and grows through empathy, patience and selfless kindness.

His spiritual legacy takes us back more than 2,500 years ago, when he shifted from Siddharta Gautama to Buddha, settling on the 'Middle Way' from extreme luxury to extreme asceticism. He rejected his life of the throne and settled on achieving enlightenment and becoming the 'Awakened One'. Buddha also guided the people with his message, "hatred ceases not by hatred but by love."

The Notre Dame International Peace and Harmony Club renews its mission to promote peace, tolerance and global harmony among youth. We invite everyone to join this ongoing journey of goodwill.

Wishing you all a peaceful, reflective and blessful Buddha Purnima.

"Today, in the May Day, find a worker and shake his hand with gratitude! Without workers, no civilisation could be built!" — Mehmet Murat ildan

On this International Workers’ Day, the Notre Dame International Peace and Harmony Club pays profound respect to the labor and resilience of workers across the globe, the silent architects of progress and the enduring force behind every thriving society. May 1st stands as a timeless symbol of struggle, sacrifice, and the unwavering pursuit of justice, echoing the voices of those who rose against exploitation to secure dignity in labor.

As members of a conscious and evolving generation, we carry the responsibility to honor their legacy - to uphold fairness, to recognize effort and to stand firm where rights are challenged. Behind every achievement, every comfort and every advancement, there is labor that deserves respect and recognition.

Let us come together to remember, reflect and honor their story.

A 21-mile narrow, vital waterway connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, named the Strait of Hormuz, has been the talk of the news for what it has been an eventful series of scenarios.

It is a crucial global energy chokepoint, with roughly 20% of the world's total oil and LNG passing through it. This location now not only holds strategic importance as a maritime channel for global oil exports but also geographical and political importance worldwide.

However, the details of this location do not confine itself to the present conflicts only but rather extends to a depth of history and knowledge. Without further ado, let us explore the details of the Strait of Hormuz, going strait to the point.

চির নতুন, চির কল্যাণ, চির সুন্দরকে সাথে নিয়ে আবার এসেছে বৈশাখ।নবীনা বৈশাখ নিপুণ হাতে যেমনটি করে সাজিয়ে তুলে আমাদের জন্মভূমিকে, তেমনি করে নানা রঙে রাঙিয়ে তোলে আমাদের জীবন-মনকে। আনন্দময় হয়ে ওঠে আমাদের এই ধরা। পরম করুনাময়ের কাছে আমাদের এ আশা, বৈশাখ যেন তার তপন তাপে বিশ্ব থেকে সকল জরা-জীর্ণ, দুঃখ-গ্লানি ঘুচিয়ে নিয়ে আসে নতুন এক সজীবতা। শুচি হোক আমাদের প্রাণপ্রিয় বসুন্ধরা। বিশ্ব কবির কথায় তাই ১৪৩৩'এর বৈশাখকে সাদর আমন্ত্রণ জানিয়ে বলি -

“এসো হে বৈশাখ, এসো, এসো।

তাপস নিশ্বাস বায়ে, মুমূর্ষুরে দাও উড়ায়ে,

বৎসরের আবর্জনা দূর হয়ে যাক।

মুছে যাক গ্লানি, ঘুচে যাক জরা,

অগ্নি স্নানে শুচি হোক ধরা।”

নটর ডেম আন্তর্জাতিক শান্তি ও সম্প্রীতি সংঘের পক্ষ থেকে আপনাকে এবং আপনার পরিবারের সকলকে জানাই পহেলা বৈশাখের শুভেচ্ছা।

শুভ নববর্ষ ।।
