A good summary of the situation. Yunus's job almost impossible but the same will apply to the elected government.

He could take the pressure off by setting up a council to run government agencies which includes politicians with experience from all parties, including AL. Just pick the ones who did the work rather than robbed the country.

Ties in with US navy thinking for Bay of Bengal. Geopolitics mentioned and is important for Bangladesh independence of action and democracy.

It was only promoted due to Ukraine.

Can you post that again Henry; Yunus needs it hammering home; academics tend to exploit what they majored in and exploit the rest of us as a consequence once in a position of authority. His messianic demeanour was useful for getting the youth behind him and his false facts.

A religion of control, I can see why the Chinese like Jamaat for stability and this chap presides in the Phulbari area. Islam and communism have parallels I think. They would be tough on terms re OPM I think but a pragmatic approach is possible if they like the idea of a functioning relationship with China- the embedded power via smart grid and belt and road infrastructure.

Bangladesh is short of coal not water, though if India fail to release Teesta flow I suppose that might affect Phulbari project if built?

It really is a no brainer but it seems to be the wrong side of the artistic Yunus brain. I am tempted to call him a half-wit.

A close review of the power plants' installed capacity shows that the 43 per cent of the total power generation capacity depend on natural gas as primary fuel. Petrobangla sources suggest that the total daily demand for natural gas (including the converted gas from imported LNG) in the country is approximately 330 MMCFD to 350 MMCFD. Fifty per cent of the demand for gas supply in the country comes from the power generation plants. But Petrobangla can supply approximately 250 MMCFD. As a result, the gas-based power generation units has to sit idle for fuel shortages. Published reports suggest that Petrobangla owes approximately US$ 607 million to Chevron (company under PSC contracts with Petrobangla) and the LNG suppliers in Qatar, Oman and other Spot LNG suppliers as on September 10, 2024.

LNGs emissions reality.

AL should be dissed more than that but then they were interviewing the plausible Joy who admits he has received technology adviser money from his mother. The Yunus government as I have suggested requires an all-party council to take the country's business forward while he gets on with reforms which actually should take quite a while.

Phulbari should be the first thing to get passed and the populace can see then see government agencies functioning again, currently the government website is down.

Actually some good angles to consider on YKIR links provided. Russia especially will go cooler on nuclear subsidy I would have thought.

Glad he put the record straight there Digit!

He said the mass uprising led by students and the public in July and August has emerged as a message of another independence and victory for the nation. “If we hastily label this as the success of a specific group, we risk falling into the trap of distorting history once again."

They are catching up with me.

Digit....The BNP are not adding to the interim government debate but bnp obviously does concede it is settling in to an agenda they and I disagree with because of political influence outside its function ie getting the loans on promise to be green without understanding Phulbari is the greenest thing it could do. That is not in Yunus's remit and the loans should not be conditional as OPM becomes difficult to promote.

Yunus is creating a vassal state of the West instead of India when he should be promoting democracy through own decisions not dictats of bankers.

Yunus's talk majored on reordering state institutions to serve the country's budding entrpreneurs and BNP are right behind those sentiments. Tarique Rahman, acting chair of bnp is not the architect of the overthrow and they will have to be careful how they behave especially as the changes will be after consultations with politicians.

This was an odious article https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/our-movement-will-continue-until-voting-rights-are-fully-ensured-tarique-946976 . Yunus said at the UN that a single leader could not be found.

To be fair to him, most of his UN address is outlining the cleaning up of the state apparatus ready for elections and the widescoping ambition for redirection will require time.

The government quota for jobs morphed into overthrow simply because the students were killed and there was no leader of it as the slaughter caused the mass uprising of protest. A good thing AL were chucked out as nothing was left to loot.

Yunus tries to be biblical about resources without actually having a creed to preach but his own. The BNP will have to adhere to new principles in the written constitution being formulated.
