Things are a little dynamic in Bangladesh at the moment.
No silly im not talking about the onset of the monsoon or the Turkish washing up powder pictured on the left. It's the *other* type of weather im talking about.
The interim government of Bangladesh is trying to put a stop to the two recent dynasties, the Ahlal Mujib and the Ahlal Zia bringing more ruin upon the people of Bangladesh who keep voting for them. I don't have full information but this seems like a good move. I consider myself politically orphaned when it comes to Bangladesh, the people need better thinking and leadership. We need for new actors to be nurtured, stabilised and ride out with confidence.
We need to understand who we are and what we are doing with ourselves. A collective cosmological and trouble shooting exercise
Forever appealling to the 'Spirit of Liberation' is getting nowhere, and the two trees in the political field, the Ahlal Mujib and the Ahlal Zia were hogging all the sunlight and sucking out all the water. Now they might be over with 'TIMBAAAAAAAAR'.
Amusingly, the queen of Ahlal Mujib is in London at the moment trying to get to Bangladesh. The only problem for her is that the government is not going to let her in as she is a threat to the peace, even though she has murder charges to answer to. She could be seen as a preacher of hate in her home country, where she regularly led her followers to bring the country's economic and transport to a stand still and disrupted Parliamentary proceedings, boycotted them and spread Talibanisation theories about Bangladesh. It would be wise for observers not to forget the events of October 28th 2006 either, when she ordered her fedayeen onto the streets with sticks and oars. Several people were killed. I received eyewitness accounts of them beating 'enemies' to death in gangs then jumping over their bodies. There is some revolting footage here. Secular, moderate, non communal and democratic enough for western utility? Of Course!!!
The Ahlal Mujib were overjoyed to see the 1st Caretaker Government destroyed and the elections delayed. they and the press that shared their agenda, the Daily Star et al helped to create these unprecedented and 'legally creative' conditions. Now they are not so steady. Again and again they get themselves and the rest of us into trouble with their drunken fancies and actions.
The Ahlal Mujib will be supported by their freinds in the UK, the US and of course in India. Lord Avebury is a notorious Awami League mouth piece, human rightist and righteously indignant in a predictable white aristo sort of fashion. I'm suprised that Jeremy Corbyn MP (Labour Anti-War) is taking a shine to her cause. It is an open secret in Bangladesh that there are tens of thousands of of its citizens on the payrolls of unfreindly agencies of a next door neighbour. Its one of those sad facts of life.
I hear that yesterday Hasina told a big meeting of her fans in London that she was going to Heathrow airport today to try to board a BA flight to Dhaka, even though the Bangladesh Government has instructed BA and the Brit security agencies not to let her on the plane. Air India is always an option for her, i hear its cheaper.
I hope that Hasina's presence in the UK doesn't mess up things in the UK and in Bangladesh. There are some people quite high up in Labour and other parties with an axe to grind.
The thing i feel with the younger generation is that a more advanced engagement with the Ahlal Mujib can happen in the UK, and the deshis here are (a) a lot less brainwashed with *Bangladesh Atudies*, (b) don't really care about gettign promoted in the Bangladeshi business or government, (c) have food in their bellies, (d) care about their religious idenity beyond ritual and personal morality and (e) have the space and the literacy.
Someone should go over to her sister Rehana's house and do a citizen's arrest. Only problem being they would probably get lynched. I'd wish Shk Hasina Wajed a pleasant retirement but i don't think we have heard the last from her.
