2. Bangladesh is currently facing heightened political uncertainty as Professor Muhammad Yunus, the chief of the country’s interim government, is reportedly considering resignation due to his inability to function effectively amid deepening political divisions.
3. Bangladesh’s Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman has reportedly delivered a direct warning to interim chief Muhammad Yunus: hold national elections by December. At a closed-door military durbar this week, the Army chief also shut down the Yunus government’s proposed “humanitarian” corridor to Myanmar’s Rakhine State, calling it a “bloody corridor” and a threat to national sovereignty.
