Dhaka, Bangladesh – A recent exposé has surfaced, detailing an alleged endgame orchestrated by the United States to topple the Awami League government. The report suggests a calculated and covert operation involving high-profile meetings, massive financial investments, and strategic student movements to destabilize the ruling party. Below is a breakdown of the purported timeline of events.
May 30: Donald Lu, a senior U.S. diplomat, visited Bangladesh. During his trip, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reportedly refused to allow the establishment of a U.S. naval base on Saint Martin’s Island, which is believed to have triggered the subsequent geopolitical maneuvering.
June 23: Asif Nazrul, a prominent critic of the government, allegedly met with officials at the U.S. State Department to draft a roadmap for the government’s collapse.
June 30: A secret meeting took place involving BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and 30 other opposition political entities. The primary agenda of this meeting was to execute a coordinated plan to overthrow the government.
July 1: Dr. Muhammad Yunus is purportedly involved in facilitating a financial influx of BDT 380 billion ($3.5 billion) from the U.S. to fund various destabilization efforts. These funds were allegedly distributed as follows:
BDT 40 billion allocated to influence military officials.
BDT 50 billion designated for student-led movements.
BDT 1 billion for civil society groups.
BDT 1 billion for digital content creators.
BDT 5 billion for the entertainment industry.
BDT 5 billion for the music industry.
BDT 1 billion directed to Prothom Alo, a leading Bangladeshi newspaper.
BDT 1 billion for other media houses.
July 2: Student movements, particularly the ongoing quota reform protests, were identified as the primary method to catalyze nationwide unrest.
July 7: The student quota reform movement took to the streets, escalating tensions within the capital and beyond.
July 15: Coordinated militant attacks were carried out at five different locations, leading to a mass prison break. U.S. intelligence agencies and Pakistan’s ISI were allegedly involved in supplying 7.62 caliber sniper rifles to militant groups, including Shibir cadres, to increase chaos.
July 15-18: Over 100 students, including Mir Mughdho, were reportedly killed by sniper fire, setting the stage for a mass uprising orchestrated by foreign-backed local operatives.
July 18: The government imposed the first round of curfews in an effort to prevent an imminent collapse.
August 1: Authorities requested the military to declare a state of emergency under Section 144, but the military refused to comply.
August 3: The military made a public announcement stating they would not open fire on protesters to suppress the movement.
August 4: With what was perceived as tacit approval from the military, protest leaders advanced their planned “March to Dhaka” by one day.
August 5: The government collapsed.
August 6: In a secret meeting led by an individual identified as Walker Yunus, a plan was allegedly drawn up to erase all symbols of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the Liberation War. Reports suggest that Jamaat-e-Islami took control of the country’s governance, initiating widespread destruction and looting.
Recent Developments
February 5, 2025: Protesters demolished the historic residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, known as Dhanmondi 32, in Dhaka. This act followed an online press conference by Sheikh Hasina from her exile in India, during which she addressed topics that protesters viewed as against national interests. The demolition has intensified debates over the nation’s historical narrative and the legacy of the Sheikh family.
February 8, 2025: The interim government launched “Operation Devil Hunt” in response to a violent attack on students and civilians in Gazipur. This nationwide operation aims to apprehend individuals associated with the former ruling party and its affiliates.
February 12, 2025: A United Nations Human Rights fact-finding report documented systematic human rights violations during the July-August 2024 protests. The report highlighted extrajudicial killings, mass arrests, and torture committed by security forces and Awami League supporters against protesters.
February 24, 2025: Investigations into alleged corruption and money laundering involving Tulip Siddiq, a UK Member of Parliament and niece of Sheikh Hasina, have expanded to include 12 countries. Bangladeshi authorities are seeking international assistance to gather information related to the misuse of overseas properties.
Current Situation and Call for Action
The revelation of these events has sent shockwaves across the nation, with calls for the people of Bangladesh to unite against what has been described as a foreign-backed coup. Nationalist voices urge citizens to reclaim their sovereignty, emphasizing that the spirit of 1971 must be revived to counter this perceived neocolonial intervention.
As the situation unfolds, Bangladesh stands at a critical juncture, grappling with the implications of these allegations and the broader consequences for its political and social stability.
