There has been no official declaration of war in Bangladesh. Yet, with rising tension at the borders, confusion in diplomacy, silence in politics, and uncertainty among the people — the nation finds itself in a state of undeclared war.
But this isn’t a war of bullets.
This is a war of illegitimate power, shadow governance, and international intrigue.
This is a silent proxy war, and its chief architect is the autocratic Muhammad Yunus, along with the occupying coordination group under his control.
The Rise of Yunus: A Product of Conspiracy, Not Democracy
On the controversial date of August 5, 2024, Muhammad Yunus — a Nobel Laureate economist — was installed into power by bypassing the people’s vote and constitutional norms.
Though he is internationally known as the face of “humane economics,” in Bangladesh, he has become an unelected autocrat.
He has formed a government with:
• No popular representation
• No democratic legitimacy
Yet this unelected regime holds complete control over the administration, diplomatic apparatus, and strategic levers of the state.
A “Humanitarian Corridor” or a Military Proxy?
The term “Rohingya Humanitarian Corridor” may sound noble, but in reality, it’s dangerously deceptive.
By exploiting the ongoing Rohingya crisis and instability in Rakhine, Yunus’s regime has launched a covert, strategic plan:
• Growing non-civilian influence inside Rohingya camps
• Secret training and logistical support to certain armed elements
• Preparations for strategic interference in neighboring countries
All of this is being orchestrated by a shadow coordination committee — made up of individuals who operate from inside the government but remain outside any accountability structure.
A Tool of Foreign Powers
This proxy war is not just an internal affair. It is being manipulated by foreign strategic agendas:
• Expatriate political groups based in London
• International donor lobbies
• Foreign think tanks and security organizations
Bangladesh today appears to be no longer in control of its own destiny — it is being puppeteered by foreign interests.
Sheikh Hasina’s Leadership: When Bangladesh Was Safe
So the real question is — where was Bangladesh before all this?
Bangladesh was safe in the hands of Sheikh Hasina.
It was stable under the democratic leadership of the Awami League.
Under Sheikh Hasina’s leadership:
• Projects like the Padma Bridge, Metro Rail, and Rooppur Nuclear Plant became reality
• Bangladesh maintained diplomatic balance on the world stage
• There was coordination between military and civil governance
• The Rohingya crisis was contained and pursued toward a peaceful resolution
Under her, the country was united, stable, and future-ready.
What’s Happening Now?
Today, in her place, sits a government that:
• Was not elected by the people
• Is controlled by invisible forces
• Is building infrastructure for conflict in the name of peace
This government has cloaked itself in the language of democracy while taking every decision outside the will of the people.
Whose War Is This? Whose Peace Is This?
The nation must now ask itself the tough questions:
• Did we want this war?
• Did we elect this government?
• Is the Rohingya crisis being solved — or is it deepening?
• In whose interest was Sheikh Hasina removed?
The answer is clear:
Bangladesh has been left leaderless, and a small group of opportunists has seized control.
Their leader is the autocrat Yunus, surrounded by an occupying coordination group.
They are using the state as a lab for a silent proxy war, where we will all bear the consequences, but have no say in the decisions.
Final Message
If Bangladesh is to be saved —
It must be returned to the safe hands where democracy, stability, dignity, and hope for the future once thrived.
That leadership belongs to Sheikh Hasina.
That strength lies in the Awami League.
That path is through democracy and the will of the people.
