An investigative report published by CSB News USA claims that the United States spent more than $325 million to bring political change in Bangladesh, leading to the fall of the government led by Sheikh Hasina in August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report, titled \u201cThe Paper Trail: How Washington Spent Over $325 Million Dismantling Bangladesh\u2019s Elected Government,\u201d was published on April 10. It is based on the analysis of US grant databases, congressional testimonies, and declassified documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the report, financial flows into Bangladesh increased significantly in the months before August 5, 2024. A large portion of the funds was distributed through NGOs, civil society groups, and digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report says the money was used for digital campaigns and organizational capacity building, which may have helped create anti-government sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report challenges the widely accepted idea that the 2024 uprising was a spontaneous, youth-led democratic movement. Instead, it describes it as a \u201cplanned and financially supported project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report has created widespread discussion in international circles. While the event was previously described as a \u201cGen Z revolution,\u201d the new claims raise questions about possible external involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, neither the government of the United States nor Bangladesh\u2019s interim administration, led by Muhammad Yunus, has made any official statement yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Political analysts say that if the claims are proven true, it could start a new debate about US foreign policy in South Asia, as well as issues of sovereignty and foreign interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On August 5, 2024, during mass protests, Sheikh Hasina resigned and later took refuge in India. After that, an interim government was formed under the leadership of Muhammad Yunus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This report, published about one and a half years after the events, has added a new and controversial dimension to the recent political history of Bangladesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
