Whither Bangladesh?

Having fled the country, what next? The current military interim government overseen by army chief, General Waker-uz-Zaman, issued a statement yesterday stating that "Bangadesh Army will always stand by the people in the interest of the public and in any need of the state".

The general had stepped into the role of Chief of Army Staff in Jun 2024, for a three year term, following a long military career that began in 1985.

Interestingly, his father-in-law is Sheikh Hasina's uncle General Mustafizur Rahman, who also served as the COAS of the Bangladesh Army from Dec 1997 to Dec 2000.

Bangladesh is no stranger to military rule. Since independence in 1971, the country has been through 29 military coups.

My take

The COAS related to Sheikh Hasina.....more intrigue?


Tailpiece.  

All things planned for the day went off fine.
