Critics accuse his administration of misrule, citing a rise in mob violence, allegations of corruption, and failure to stabilise the country\u2019s political and economic landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These issues have been compounded by the 2025 Awami League ban protests in Bangladesh, a nationwide movement that demanded a ban on the Awami League and formally ended on May 10, 2025, after significant political turmoil. The movement highlighted deep divisions within the country, with opposition groups intensifying their calls for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=3876\">BBC Bangla exposes extravagant foreign tours by Yunus using state funds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=3652\">US Tour: Selfish Yunus puts aides in distress<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=1082\">Sajeeb Wazed, Arafat, Nanak ridicule Yunus for deceptions on UK tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yunus arrived in Rome at 5pm local time to participate in the World Food Forum, where he is scheduled to speak as a guest at the main session and hold meetings with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and heads of international organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was welcomed by Bangladesh\u2019s Ambassador to Italy, ATM Rokebul Haque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4016\">Teachers announce work abstention protesting police brutality<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4010\">Awami League condemns indiscriminate arrests and custodial killings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=3987\">USS Fitzgerald in Bangladesh: Goodwill or geopolitical gambit?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Meloni had previously cancelled a planned visit to Bangladesh earlier this year, a decision some analysts attribute to concerns over the political instability under Yunus\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This marks Yunus\u2019s 14th foreign trip since assuming power in August 2024, following a \u201cmeticulously designed jihadist-army coup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=3670\">BNP leader Mirza Fakhrul under fire for slandering Jamaat, NCP<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=3680\">Sheikh Hasina reflects on her achievements, condemns rising poverty and violence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of these trips has been classified as state visits, and Yunus has struggled to secure meetings with heads of state in most countries, further highlighting his diminishing international influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rome protest, combined with domestic unrest, underscores the challenges Yunus faces as his tenure nears its end, with allegations of minority violence and strained relations with neighbouring countries like India adding to the complexity of the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dozens of Awami League supporters staged a vigorous demonstration outside Rome-Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) on Sunday, protesting the arrival of Muhammad Yunus.
