Hasina’s Exit After Deadly Crackdown
Ex-Bangladeshi Premier Sheikh Hasina feared for her life in Bangladesh following a bloody assault by the military on protesters, who included more than 300 students who were killed. The crisis emerged later when people came out to protest for justice and new reforms.
U. S. Lawmakers Push for Sanctions
In the U. S., Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen and five fellow Democratic lawmakers are urging the Treasury to blacklist former Home Affairs Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and influential mastermind and Bangladesh Awami League main government supporters, Obaidul Quader. I can also recall that they wrote a letter to the U. S. authorities demanding that they bring these leaders to book on account of the violence.
Interim Government Gains Support
U. S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has endorsed the latest formation of the interim administration with Dr. Muhammad Yunus. He called on the people to be calm and non-violent during the change-over period. However, the specific protests have not ceased. Rather, they have expanded, and people ask for the removal of other officials who worked under Hasina.
Unrest and Violence Continue
The Kotoal prime minister Hasina fled to New Delhi where she ended her 15-year-long rule in Bangladesh. She has been celebrated and at the same time violently expelled from the screen. Her official residence was breached, busts of her father were defaced and there has been an incidence of lynching of minorities. Thus, Bangladesh is still experiencing high tension while Continuing this period of uncertainty.
