Bangladesh chief adviser Muhammad Yunus has recommended appointment of a 'reputed law & investigative firm' to assist in review of at least 7 power contracts signed during Hasina regime.
Moody's, which downgraded country's rating from B1 to B2, also notes that ‘nascent reemergence of community-based tensions’, risk of further deterioration in law & order may dampen growth.
Yunus allegedly made a big donation to the Clinton Foundation ahead of Hillary Clinton’s bid for US presidency. On his part, Trump had reportedly said: “Where’s the micro-finance guy from Dhaka?’
In interview with Al Jazeera, Yunus, who assumed power after Sheikh Hasina’s ouster this August, also terms reports of attacks on minorities ‘baseless propaganda originating from India’.
Muhammad Yunus doesn’t have a magic bullet, but rising unemployment, spiralling prices, and a lack of an electoral roadmap are eroding the legitimacy of Bangladesh’s interim government.
167 journalists, a number of whom covered Sheikh Hasina's PMO & Awami League, have had accreditations revoked in series of notifications, denying them access to govt offices & secretariat.
Move, comes after interim govt cancelled 8 national holidays instituted by Sheikh Hasina, including ones on the birth and death anniversaries of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Awami League leader has accused Muhammad Yunus & 61 others of serious crimes under Article 15 of Rome Statute—the ICC’s founding treaty—which pertains to crimes against humanity.
Bangladeshi experts and editorials contend that while impact on country may not be immediate or radical, it could bring changes in political dynamics, trade, and ties with India, China.
The Yunus administration has set up a Constitutional Reform Commission to draft a document that will "reflect the aspirations" of the ordinary Bangladeshis.
The graduation is meant to bolster the legacy and legitimacy of Sheikh Hasina's Awami League, even as the real-world preparedness lagged behind the glossy narrative.
Possible improvements in US-India trade ties and a lower tariff rate could ease pressure, but if that doesn’t eventuate, RBI may be forced to support the rupee further.
In largest overhaul of military command in 5 decades, Field Marshal Asim Munir set to assume post of Chief of Defence Forces tomorrow, as Army claims primacy in Pakistan armed forces.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
