Bangladesh Coup: Did the US Punish Sheikh Hasina? FINEPOINT PLAYLIST https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6HkcDeZsRfOmY_VUEJErxwLM3rYxg_nB&si=8SI82thv8noFGQl7Shubhangi Sharma explains on FinepointBangladesh has experienced a regime change with the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after 15 years in power. The situation escalated following weeks of intense protests demanding her removal, culminating in a deadly confrontation on August 5th, when thousands of protesters approached Dhaka’s Gonobhobon residence. The violent clashes with law enforcement led to a significant death toll, forcing Hasina to choose between a harsher crackdown or resignation. Opting for the latter, she fled the country amidst escalating chaos and violence, leaving behind a nation in turmoil.Hasina's departure has ignited controversy, particularly her accusation that the United States was involved in her downfall. She alleged that surrendering St. Martin’s Island to US control could have preserved her position, a claim her son later dismissed as false. The US has been vocally critical of Hasina's administration, imposing sanctions and calling for democratic reforms, but direct involvement in her ousting remains unconfirmed. The interim government led by Mohammed Yunus, a Nobel laureate with ties to the West, raises questions about future alignments and the broader geopolitical implications for the region.
