Bring them home

It is very unfortunate to find so many Bangladeshis stranded in Tunisia and Libya after having endured great sufferings while fleeing from a war-torn nation. While they suffer, the Bangladesh government makes no sincere and hurried efforts to get these citizens back home which is a matter of great disgrace. Even IOM is saying that the Govt. of Bangladesh is half-hearted in its efforts to take back the citizens. I urge upon all to raise their voice in support of these stranded fellow citizens and if need be, launch private efforts to raise money to get these people back home. Too bad, the nation can spend billions to showcase ICC - it can not spare dimes when it comes to looking after its stranded citizens.
