# How the US and UN Are Spoiling Bangladesh for Their Own Interests
The Regime Change in Bangladesh – What Really Happened?
In August 2024, Bangladesh witnessed a major political shift when its longest-serving Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, was forced to resign amid mass protests. However, recent revelations suggest that this was not just a local political crisis but a carefully planned intervention by the United Nations (UN) and the United States (US) to serve their own interests in Bangladesh.
Who Was Involved in This Political Shift?
- Sheikh Hasina’s Government – The elected leadership that was ousted.
- United Nations (UN) – Pressured the Bangladesh Army by threatening to remove it from UN peacekeeping missions if it took action against the protests.
- United States (US) – Allegedly funded opposition movements and student protests to weaken Hasina’s government.
- Muhammad Yunus – Nobel laureate, who took over as the Chief Advisor of an interim government after Hasina was forced to step down.
Why Did This Happen? The Hidden Agenda
- US Strategic Interests: The US was reportedly frustrated with Hasina for refusing to allow a US military base on a southern island of Bangladesh. Controlling military presence in Bangladesh would have given the US an advantage in the Indo-Pacific region, especially against China.
- UN’s Political Role: The UN has long been critical of Hasina’s government over human rights issues, but it used its influence on the Bangladesh Army to make sure they did not act against the student protests.
- The Economic and Political Takeover: By removing Hasina, a new pro-Western interim government under Muhammad Yunus was installed. Yunus, seen as a favorite of Western nations, has a history of close ties with US political and financial elites.
How the UN Manipulated Bangladesh’s Army
Bangladesh is one of the largest contributors to UN peacekeeping missions, which is a major source of income and prestige for the Bangladesh Army. The UN reportedly threatened to ban Bangladesh from future missions if the army acted against the protests. This move effectively neutralized the army’s power and left Hasina with no choice but to resign.
The Role of Student Protests: A US-Funded Operation?
The student protests that led to Hasina’s resignation were initially seen as a grassroots movement against discrimination. However, it has now been revealed that the US funneled millions of dollars through private organizations to support these protests and destabilize the government.
What Happened After the Coup?
- Muhammad Yunus took power and quickly aligned himself with Western governments.
- Awami League leaders and activists were targeted, leading to political violence and instability.
- Religious radical groups gained influence, reportedly encouraged by the new regime to counter Hasina’s secular policies.
Bangladesh’s Future: A Puppet State for Western Powers?
With Hasina gone, Bangladesh risks becoming a pawn in global power struggles between the US, China, and other players. The US and UN’s involvement in Bangladesh’s political affairs has weakened its democracy, making the country vulnerable to further external manipulation.
Final Thoughts
The removal of Sheikh Hasina was not just an internal political event but a well-planned operation by global powers for their own interests. The US and UN used political pressure, financial backing, and threats to reshape Bangladesh’s leadership, ensuring a government that aligns with their strategic goals. As Bangladesh enters a new phase, the question remains: Will the country be able to reclaim its sovereignty, or will it continue to be controlled by foreign interests?
