Bangladesh in Crisis: After Yunus, Will Bangladesh See Military Rule or Sheikh Hasina’s Return?”

In a dramatic turn of events, Bangladesh’s interim government leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus is reportedly making urgent arrangements to flee the country after the Bangladesh Army withdrew its support over explosive allegations of his involvement in an assassination plot against Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman.

Highly placed military sources reveal that a private jet has been secured to transport Yunus out of Dhaka tonight, with Paris being the likely destination—a country where he allegedly holds citizenship. The interim administration, already fragile, now stands on the verge of total collapse.

The Allegations: A Chilling Conspiracy Unfolds

1. The Assassination Plot Against the Army Chief

According to journalist Navnita Choudhury in a May 21, 2025 podcast, Yunus’s associates had recruited a foreign assassin to eliminate General Waker-Uz-Zaman. The Army Chief himself reportedly disclosed the plot during a high-level military meeting, sending shockwaves through the armed forces.

• Foreign Sharpshooter Hired: The assassin was allegedly brought in from abroad.
• Military’s Swift Reaction: The Army immediately cut ties with Yunus, viewing the plot as treason.

2. Geopolitical Tensions: U.S. Influence & Military Bases

Sources suggest Yunus was acting as a proxy for American interests, negotiating deals that would allow:

• U.S. Military Bases in Bangladesh (air and naval).
• A strategic corridor (potentially linked to the Rakhine region).

The Bangladesh Army strongly opposed these moves, arguing that only an elected government—not an interim administration—had the authority to make such decisions.

3. Confrontation with the Army

• Diplomatic Pressure: U.S. diplomats reportedly met the Army Chief to push for the deals, but he refused.
• Yunus’s Crackdown: In response, Yunus banned the Awami League (Sheikh Hasina’s party) from elections, further escalating tensions.

Political Fallout: Protests, Resignation, and Possible Military Intervention

1. Public Uprising Against Yunus

• Students and activists have taken to the streets, demanding his resignation.
• Sheikh Hasina’s supporters are mobilizing, sensing an opportunity for her return.

2. Military’s Next Move

With Yunus losing military backing, two scenarios emerge:

• A military-backed transition to elections.
• Direct military intervention to stabilize the country.

3. Yunus’s Escape Plan

• A chartered flight is reportedly on standby in Dhaka.
• The military may block his exit, given the severity of the allegations.

The Bigger Picture: A Failed Experiment in Governance

Yunus, once hailed as a champion of democracy, now stands accused of:
✔ Conspiring to assassinate the Army Chief
✔ Acting as a foreign agent (U.S./Western interests)
✔ Undermining Bangladesh’s sovereignty

His interim government, seen by many as illegitimate, has faced accusations of:

• Election manipulation (banning major parties).
• Pushing pro-Western policies against national interests.

What Happens Next?

1. Yunus’s Fate: Will he flee, or will the military detain him?
2. Return of Sheikh Hasina? With Yunus’s downfall, her political resurgence seems likely.
3. U.S.-Bangladesh Relations: Will Washington distance itself from Yunus?
4. Military’s Role: Will it oversee a transition or take direct control?

A Nation at a Crossroads

Bangladesh is witnessing one of its most volatile political crises in years. The allegations against Yunus—if proven—could mark the end of his political career and reshape the country’s future.

As protests rage and the military weighs its options, the world watches to see whether democracy or martial rule will prevail.
