Bangladesh is going through a deep political crisis these days. Mohammad Yunus, who is the head of the interim government of the country, is now considering resigning from his post. During a meeting of the Advisory Council in Dhaka, he clearly said that it is becoming impossible for him to work in the current political situation. This is not just a personal decision but reflects the failure of the entire political system, where it is becoming difficult to build even a minimum consensus among political parties. Yunus' statement that he is feeling like a hostage reflects the instability of the country.
Humanitarian corridor on the Myanmar border and the displeasure of the army
Another important turning point came when it was revealed that the Yunus government had planned to establish a humanitarian corridor on the Bangladesh-Myanmar border in collaboration with the US. This deal was carried out secretly, which angered army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman. He also warned the government by giving an ultimatum to hold elections by December. It is clear from this that there is a huge conflict between the civil and military system of the country, which is a dangerous sign for the future.
Opposition and student organizations protest—political pressure is increasing
Yunus is surrounded not only by political parties but also by student organizations and the general public. The opposition parties have intensified street protests demanding elections by the end of this year. The demand to remove leaders like Mahfuz Asif and Khalilur rahman from the government has further fueled this protest. This shows that the public and political organizations are now completely dissatisfied with the current government.
Yunus government was formed after the coup of Sheikh Hasina
This interim government of Bangladesh was formed last year after Sheikh Hasina suddenly fled to india and the coup. Since then, Yunus was given the responsibility of keeping the country stable until a permanent government is formed, but it seems that this experiment is now heading towards failure.
