DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladesh’s next leader Muhammad Yunus arrived home Thursday from an overseas trip and will take office later in the day, as he looks to restore calm and rebuild the country following an uprising that ended the 15-year, increasingly autocratic rule of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Smrity’s husband Ismail Hossain Baten, a businessman in Dhaka, was allegedly abducted by members of the paramilitary force Rapid Action Battalion [RAB] in 2019. Since then, Smrity has run from pillar to post searching for Baten.
Indian intelligence agencies, rarely the epitome of self-assured success, have rarely been caught as flat-footed as they were over the weekend when Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina hurriedly evacuated her palatial residences for a rather modest government guest house on the outskirts of Delhi.
Bangladesh is expected to swear in an interim administration on Thursday, days after its entrenched leader was toppled by protests and forced to flee, leaving the country in violent chaos and profound uncertainty.
Hopes that interim government under Muhammad Yunus can restore stability and address country’s inequalities.
“She said she will never go back to Bangladesh,” Sajeeb Wazed, Hasina’s son and an adviser in her ousted government, said in a phone interview from Washington. “In fact, to be entirely candid, she told me that none of our family will ever go back to Bangladesh.”
Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus departed France Wednesday, heading to Bangladesh to lead the country’s interim government after mass protests ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The Nobel laureate is expected to bring back peace, revive the economy and pave way for free and fair elections.
