- Emergency: Bangladesh is unstable after ex-PM Sheikh Hasina was ousted in 2024. Muhammad Yunus leads an interim government, but law and order are crumbling, and minorities are under attack.
- Army Chief vs. Yunus: General Waker-Uz-Zaman, the Army Chief, criticized Yunus for weak control. In March 2025, he stopped a coup by pro-Pakistan generals, showing he was against Yunus’s shaky leadership.
- India vs. Pakistan: India helped Zaman stop the coup, blocking Pakistan’s plan to take influence via its ISI. This embarrassed Pakistan and boosted India’s grip on Bangladesh.
- Trump Supports India: U.S. President Trump, back in office, cut aid to Yunus and backed India to keep Bangladesh stable and counter Pakistan and Islamists.
In short: Yunus is losing control, the army’s pushing back, India’s winning over Pakistan, and Trump’s got India’s back.
