Bangladesh Violence: Sheikh Hasina's 15-year rule in Bangladesh has ended. After July, which was surrounded by violence and protests, the situation in the country is now becoming normal, but some challenges still exist. The road ahead is not easy for the new interim government formed in the country, even though the command of the country is in the hands of 84-year-old Nobel Prize winner Mohammad Yunus, he does not have the experience of running a government.

A close aide of Mohammad Yunus told the media that the situation in the country is improving, but everything is not fine yet. The close aide assured that free and fair elections will be held after deep reforms. On the other hand, Mohammad Yunus is looking towards foreign countries for help and economic cooperation.

Bangladesh has become the Japan of the post-World War II era!

Shafiqul Alam, media advisor to Bangladesh's Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus, said that Mohammad Yunus met British High Commissioner Sarah Cook and Japanese Ambassador Iwama Kaminori on Wednesday for international cooperation and economic help. In this meeting, Yunus has sought help from Britain and Japan for the reconstruction of Bangladesh and the government.

The Japanese envoy described the current situation in Bangladesh as similar to Japan after the Second World War, where Japan started from scratch after everything was destroyed. While the British High Commissioner proposed technical help for electoral reforms.

Making law and order a priority

Alam, a close aide of Mohammad Yunus, said that his government faces many challenges, but our first priority is to fix the law and order. He said that the interim government of Dhaka has transferred the chiefs of all 50 police stations under the Metropolitan Police.

Emphasis on helping Rohingya refugees

Both the Japanese ambassador and the interim government have said that they will continue to help the Rohingya refugees. In his very first speech, Yunus had appealed to the international community to work for the help of the Rohingya community and their safe return to the country. Alam said that Yunus expressed the need for a new policy to improve the conditions of these refugees. The Japanese Ambassador announced the construction of a library for Rohingya children in Bangladesh.
