We've just had an invasion. Due to rioting which took place in the capital, and in some of the northern districts, the army have been deployed within the Export Processing Zone here in Chittagong. Pictured below are a squad deployed just outside my painting studio in front of the bus which they have commandeered. Its very unusual for the army to be called out. The cops carry weapons and have at their disposal semi-military police units as well the Ansars who are 'for hire' government security troops (If you want a bloke with a 303 outside your building you can pay the government 30 pounds per month and have one).

When they turned up I was photographing the some Roman troops from a large order which we have just finished. I legged it outside with my camera to catch the shy troops for the record. They tried to wave me away with my camera but I pretended I thought it was a friendly greeting and waved back.
