Why US Has An Eye On Sentinel Island
North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands, an Indian archipelago in the Bay of Bengal which also includes South Sentinel Island. The island is a protected area of India. The current political crisis in Bangladesh seems to be the latest manifestation of the American obsession with democracy.
Straight out of CIA playbook
According to a article published in Forstpost, Even a person with a cursory understanding of Bangladeshi politics will understand Sheikh Hasina, who resigned on Monday as PM, was the last person standing between democracy (howsoever distorted it may appear) and jihadism, between secularism (howsoever skewed that may be in reality) and hard-core Islamism. If anyone has seen the regime changes in South America (one is currently witnessing the making of one in Venezuela) and also ‘revolutions’ of different hues like the one in Ukraine (Orange Revolution), the Bangladesh ‘coup’ seems to have played straight out of the CIA playbook with tactical support from George Soros-like elements. These foreign players would set the narrative so well that once the coup is done, the people on the ground would celebrate it, calling it a liberation.
Wake-up Call For India
The Bangladesh crisis should be a wake-up call for India. The current dispensation isn’t quite liked in the West, nor is it the preferred side for Beijing and Islamabad.
A 14-member interim government in Bangladesh, under the leadership of Noble Laureate Muhammad Yunus, was sworn in (August 7, 2024), three days after Sheikh Hasina stepped down as PM and left the country after mass protests.
Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of Sheikh Hasina who quit as prime minister and fled Bangladesh, has blamed Pakistan for fueling the unrest in the country. Sajeeb Wazed Joy said there is circumstantial evidence suggesting foreign interference and alleged involvement of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency.
Joy said although Sheikh Hasina, 76, would definitely return to Bangladesh, it has not yet been decided whether she will be back as a “retired or active” politician.
