Sheikh Hasina blames US for ouster as PM, cites her refusal to surrender St. Martin Island as cause

Former Bangladesh prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, has alleged that the United States engineered her ouster from power and the country after she refused to cede sovereignty of St. Martin Island, which would have given Washington control over the Bay of Bengal.

Located in the northeastern part of the Bay of Bengal, St. Martin Island is just three square kilometres in area, but its geopolitical significance is immense.

"I resigned so that I did not have to see the procession of dead bodies. They wanted to come to power over the dead bodies of students, but I did not allow it. I resigned from premiership," Hasina was quoted as saying by an Economic Times report.

"I could have remained in power if I had surrendered the sovereignty of Saint Martin Island and allowed America to hold sway over the Bay of Bengal. I beseech to the people of my land, please do not be manipulated by radicals," she added.

"Maybe, if I had stayed in the country, more lives would have been lost. I have removed myself. You were my strength, you did not want me, so I have left."

As for the student anti-quota protests, Hasina clarified her 'Razakar' remarks. The term is used to refer to a paramilitary force recruited by the Pakistani army during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.

“I have never called you as Razakars. My words were twisted to incite unrest. I urge you to watch the full video of that day. Conspirators exploited your innocence to destabilise our nation.”

Hasina-US relations
This is the first time since Hasina fled to New Delhi after resigning as the PM that she has spoken about the events that forced her to take such a drastic decision.

Washington and Dhaka had been at loggerheads for some time when Hasina was in power. The friction was evident when Hasina won a fourth straight term in January but the US State Department did not accept the results saying the polls were not free and fair.

Earlier on Sunday (Aug 11), reports emerged that several senators in the US Congress were urging the White House to impose sanctions against officials who served under Hasina over humanitarian abuse allegations.  

"The Bangladeshi leaders who orchestrated this brutal crackdown must be held accountable, which is why we're calling upon the administration to sanction General Secretary Quader and Home Affairs Minister Khan, as we continue working to support a peaceful and democratic Bangladesh," said Van Hollen, a Democratic member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Five other congressional Democrats also supported the demand and sent the letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, urging sanctions on those officials.

參與推翻孟加拉總理哈希納？ 美國白宮否認介入孟加拉 哈希納 時間：2024-08-13 08:52新聞引據：採訪、路透社撰稿編輯：鄭景懋

美國白宮12日表示，美國沒有參與推翻孟加拉總理哈希納(Sheikh Hasina)一事，並稱指控美國干預的說法「完全是錯誤的」。哈希納在辭職下台後逃離了孟加拉。

白宮發言人尚皮耶(Karine Jean-Pierre)在記者會上被問到有關美國介入的報導，她表示：「我們完全沒有涉入。任何有關美國政府介入這些事件的報導和謠言都是完全錯誤的。」

印度「經濟時報」(Economic Times) 11日引述哈希納的說法，指控美國參與了推翻她的行動，因為美國想要控制孟加拉灣的聖馬丁島(Saint Martin island)。報導指出，哈希納透過她的親密夥伴向該報表達了這一訊息。

哈希納的兒子喬伊(Sajeeb Wazed Joy) 12日在X上表示，哈希納從未發表這類聲明。

白宮補充說：「我們認為孟加拉人應該決定孟加拉政府的未來，這就是我們的立場。」

由諾貝爾和平獎得主尤努斯(Muhammad Yunus)領導的孟加拉臨時政府，8日宣示就職，其目的是為這個國家舉行大選。

上個月，在學生抗議為某些群體保留大量政府職位的配額制度，並且升級為罷黜哈希納的運動後，孟加拉陷入了示威和暴力。

哈希納在今年1月的大選中贏得連續第4屆任期，但反對派抵制這場選舉，美國國務院稱這場選舉不自由且不公平。

哈希納離開孟加拉後前往印度新德里，結束了她15年的統治。

========================================
不符合美國利益，就是被顛覆掉，如今孟加拉又是一例。

未來中美交賊，美國出賣台灣，會不會也是同孟加拉的模式？看來目前搞甚麼預防第五縱隊的認知作戰，看似對426，其實是針對美國？

如今美國不斷放出不利台灣消息：國家保護意志薄弱、兵源不足、訓練不足、武器妥善欠佳....，是不是都在對日後背棄發展作藉口準備？南越、阿富汗不就是最好的例子？

唉！再隨政客起舞嗎？狗吠火車，了然！

悲哀！台灣郎也悲哀！
