Sheikh Hasina<\/a>, Bangladesh\u2019s five-time Prime Minister, whose Awami League government was toppled in a violent uprising.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSheikh Hasina, now in India, alleges that her refusal to grant the US a military base on St Martin\u2019s Island\u2014a strategic point in the Bay of Bengal to counter China\u2014sparked a concerted effort to oust her through a conspiracy by the rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This claim resonates with Jeffrey Sachs, a Columbia University professor, who champions the need for global accountability. Prof Sachs argues that the US, through covert operations, orchestrated Sheikh Hasina\u2019s removal through a deep-rooted conspiracy, mirroring its alleged role in the ouster of Pakistan\u2019s Imran Khan in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He calls for a UN investigation, framing these actions as a bold, if controversial, assertion of US geopolitical strategy in South Asia. His optimism lies in the potential for international scrutiny to foster transparency and prevent future destabilisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike Benz, a former US State Department official, adds vibrant detail to this narrative through his appearance on Tucker Carlson\u2019s influential podcast. Benz\u2019s revelations, amplified by Elon Musk\u2019s repost on X, captivated global audiences, making Bangladesh a trending topic in US politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He claims USAID, alongside the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the International Republican Institute (IRI), funnelled $21 million into Bangladesh\u2019s Nagorik Program, ostensibly for voter engagement but allegedly to destabilise Sheikh Hasina\u2019s government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benz describes a creative strategy: funding rappers, transgender dance festivals, and student groups to ignite protests. This cultural approach, he suggests, transformed local grievances\u2014sparked by a quota reinstatement ruling\u2014into a broader anti-government movement. Benz\u2019s enthusiasm for exposing these tactics reflects a commitment to unveiling hidden influences, empowering nations to reclaim their sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donald Trump\u2019s bold leadership further elevates this narrative. In February 2025, Trump signed an executive order suspending USAID operations, citing their misalignment with US interests and role in regime changes worldwide. His administration, guided by Musk\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), investigated USAID\u2019s $29 million allocation in Bangladesh, which allegedly funded sniper rifles for jihadist groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump\u2019s decisive action, coupled with his denial of a US \u201cdeep state\u201d role during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, underscores his commitment to transparency. By deferring to Modi on Bangladesh\u2019s future, Trump signals a collaborative approach, fostering regional stability while acknowledging India\u2019s stake in its neighbour\u2019s trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elon Musk\u2019s role as a catalyst cannot be overstated. His repost of Benz\u2019s claims on X sparked a global conversation, highlighting the power of technology to amplify truth. Musk\u2019s DOGE initiative, scrutinising USAID\u2019s operations, reflects a forward-thinking vision for accountable governance. By challenging entrenched bureaucracies, Musk inspires a new era of openness, where citizens worldwide can engage with the forces shaping their nations. His involvement in Bangladesh\u2019s story transforms it from a local coup to a global case study in transparency and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Awami League\u2019s narrative adds a poignant layer, framing the August 1 uprising as a \u201cstudent-jihadist-army coup\u201d orchestrated through \u201cmeticulously designed anarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They allege that student protests, initially over quotas, were hijacked by jihadist groups and army elements, backed by USAID and UN bodies. An OHCHR report, cited by critics, details mob lynchings, police killings, and jihadist involvement, suggesting a coordinated effort to unseat Sheikh Hasina while alleging police excesses to quell the riots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Awami League claims billionaire George Soros fueled this anarchy through his Open Society Foundations and other channels linked to Hillary Clinton. His son, Alex Soros, met with Yunus in January 2025 to discuss economic reforms and combat \u201cmisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This meeting, viewed as a challenge to Trump\u2019s policies, underscores the League\u2019s belief in a global network shaping Bangladesh\u2019s fate. Yet, their resilience shines through, as they rally supporters in Washington, DC, to protest Yunus\u2019s government, demanding justice for minorities and accountability for the coup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This narrative, far from a conspiracy, is a testament to the courage of those exposing global dynamics. Sachs\u2019 call for UN scrutiny, Benz\u2019s vivid expos\u00e9, Trump\u2019s bold reforms, Musk\u2019s technological amplification, and the Awami League\u2019s steadfast advocacy weave a tapestry of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They envision a Bangladesh where sovereignty is reclaimed and external influences are balanced with local aspirations. The student-jihadist-army coup, while disruptive, catalysed a global dialogue, empowering Bangladeshis to shape their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Bangladesh goes through a mob culture sponsored by the Yunus-led and radical Jamaat-controlled government, the allegations of USAID\u2019s role, jihadist attacks during July-August, targeted attacks on religious minorities, admission of killings and arson, the army\u2019s duplicity, the government’s fake claims of death toll, provocations against India and excessive intimacy with Pakistan highlight the need for an unbiased investigation and proper trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
