(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Tens of thousands of troops are being deployed¹ across Bangladesh to try to prevent potential political violence ahead of next month's elections.

数以万计的军队被部署于孟加拉国，以阻止下个月大选前可能出现的潜在政治暴力。

This comes as main opposition² leader Khaleda Zia has urged her supporters to stage nationwide protests.

She says she will boycott³ the 5 January general elections unless Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina quits and a neutral caretaker government is installed.

Ms Hasina's government has rejected the opposition's demand.

Caretaker governments previously⁴ oversaw⁵ elections, but Ms Hasina scrapped⁶ the arrangement in 2011.

Bitter rivals

Troops are being deployed in at least 59 of Bangladesh's 64 districts, election commission spokesman SM Asaduzzaman told the Agence France-Presse news agency.

"They'll be used as a striking force if there is any violence and they will patrol important areas, streets and highways," he added.

A smaller number of soldiers has already been on the streets for several days.

Ms Zia, who leads the opposition Bangladeshi Nationalist Party (BNP), earlier called for a mass march on the capital Dhaka.

She said she hoped the mass rally would force the government to resign.

Last month, Ms Hasina, who heads the Awami League, put together a multi-party coalition⁷ and offered Ms Zia any post she wanted. Ms Zia refused the offer.

The BNP fears the Awami League will rig the elections if it remains⁸ in power instead of the caretaker government（过渡时期的政府）.

The two women are old and bitter political rivals who have governed Bangladesh in turn for many years.
