Sheikh Hasina Wajid, the former prime minister of Bangladesh, issued a statement on Sunday accusing the U.S. government of orchestrating the events that led to her abdication last week, because she refused to give the U.S. control over a strategic island in the Bay of Bengal.as prime minister after 15 years in office and fled the country last Monday as demonstrators stormed her official residence.
In recent times, rebels opposed to the Myanmar junta have sought to use St. Martin Island as a base for their operations, leading to fierce fighting with junta troops in coastal areas close to the island. Bangladesh has been patrolling the waters between the island and the mainland to ensure the Burmese rebels do not attempt to occupy it – and to make sure Myanmar’s naval forces deployed against the rebels stay out of Bangladeshi waters.
People participate in a protest march against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her government to demand justice for the victims killed in the recent countrywide deadly clashes, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on August 3, 2024. In her statement on Sunday, Hasina essentially accused the U.S. of fomenting a revolution against her to install someone more amenable to Washington’s ambitions in her place. She said the ultimate goal of the U.S. was to create a new “Christian state” with territory poached from both Bangladesh and Myanmar.
