Bangladesh is heading down a dangerously misguided path. Our foreign policy lacks foresight—it is driven by short-term thinking, a hunger to cling to power, and a ruthless gamble with the nation’s future. If regional powers like India and China do not recognize a disputed territory as a sovereign state, that dream cannot survive a single day. Yet, we are aligning ourselves with separatist factions from such unrecognized territories—inviting disaster upon ourselves.
China, India, and Thailand all share borders with Myanmar. None of them support these separatists—because their governments are politically strong, accountable to their people, and understand how dangerous it is to interfere in another country’s internal matters. But our weak administration, which relies on foreign backers to stay in power, is now siding with rebels from a neighboring state! This isn’t just diplomatic suicide—it’s pushing the entire nation toward unpredictable war, insecurity, and economic ruin.
Why gamble with the future of 200 million people? Who benefits if Cox’s Bazar’s tourism industry collapses? With millions of livelihoods and billions in public and private investments at stake—if blood is shed and chaos erupts, who will take responsibility?
If the government does not immediately abandon this self-destructive course, history will not forgive them. The people will rise—and traitors will face consequences. This country is not anyone’s private property. Power is not permanent. Act with accountability to the nation—or prepare for the end.
