As Donald Trump prepares to take the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025, his administration is expected to adopt a stringent stance against the Islamist regime led by Muhammad Yunus. Yunus, a known critic of Trump and top-funder of Clinton Foundation, presides over the revolutionary regime in Bangladesh where domestic law and order continue to deteriorate. Rising inflation, which has crossed a 12 percent threshold, and the soaring prices of essentials are exacerbating public suffering. In this context, the Soros-funded International Crisis Group (ICG) recently issued a report warning, “If disorder reaches a crisis point, the army could step in, albeit reluctantly, likely heralding a prolonged period of military rule”.

Meanwhile, Islamist and jihadist groups such as Hefazat-e-Islam (HeI), Hizb Ut Tahrir (HuT), and Ansar Al Islam (the local franchise of Al Qaeda) and others have been increasingly vocal, openly advocating violence against Hindus. Simultaneously, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has been fueling anti-Hindu and anti-India sentiments through social media. These narratives, echoed by Yunus’s interim administration and its loyalist “student protesters,” paint India as the “top enemy of Bangladesh”.

In a move that underscores this hostility, Dhaka recently appointed BNP member Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey as its ambassador to the United States. Ansarey, known for his animosity toward India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Hindu-nationalist forces, maintains close ties with Rahul Gandhi and other leaders of the Indian National Congress (INC). This appointment signals the Yunus administration’s intention to perpetuate anti-India and anti-Hindu rhetoric in Washington. However, Ansarey’s confirmation is unlikely under the Trump administration due to his strong connections with Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Soros and the Democratic Party.

In its report, ICG advises the Yunus administration to avoid overstaying its tenure and to build consensus among political parties. It also suggests external actors provide support and urges India to repair its image among the Bangladeshi population. The report warns that if the interim government fails to enact meaningful reforms, the military might assume power, leading to early elections with little progress. To maintain public support, the ICG recommends that the interim administration focus on addressing petty corruption, improving electricity supply, and reducing high prices.

However, these recommendations appear to serve an ulterior motive -granting the Yunus regime more time to consolidate power under the guise of reform. The report further calls on foreign governments and multilateral institutions to provide technical and financial assistance, including for security, judicial, electoral, and economic reforms. But with Trump’s inauguration imminent, Yunus and his allies, who are deeply connected to figures like Obama, the Clintons, and George Soros, may find themselves facing unprecedented challenges.

The ICG describes the Yunus-led regime as “inclusive”, but the reality is starkly different. Most members of the interim administration hail from NGOs, and many appointments have been criticized as whimsical, even by Yunus’s supporters. The regime’s focus has largely been on vilifying Sheikh Hasina and her late father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, portraying them as “fascists” or worse. Meanwhile, Yunus has granted indemnity to individuals involved in the murders of over 3,000 police officers, Awami League leaders, and Hindu and religious minority citizens, dismissing reports of such atrocities as “disinformation” spread by Indian media.

In its three months of governance, the Yunus administration has failed to curb mob violence, attacks on the judiciary, and public unrest targeting institutions like schools and the media. The ICG’s suggestions to achieve “quick wins” appear to be an attempt to buy Yunus more time to secure his hold on power.

Finally, the underlying bias of the ICG report becomes evident upon examining its funding sources. Established with seed money from George Soros, the ICG continues to receive millions from Soros and his affiliated organizations. This raises questions about the credibility of its assessments.

The report appears to be a calculated effort to sway global leaders, including President-elect Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, into supporting Yunus. However, those aware of the ICG’s affiliations are likely to dismiss the report as propaganda. Bangladesh cannot afford to be misled by such partisan narratives.

The ICG report, shaped by its alignment with George Soros’s interests, underscores the precarious state of Bangladesh’s political landscape under Muhammad Yunus’s interim regime. With rising internal unrest, unchecked sectarian violence, and a faltering economy, the administration appears more focused on settling political scores than addressing the nation’s pressing challenges. As Donald Trump’s incoming administration signals a likely shift in US foreign policy, Yunus and his allies may soon face intensified international scrutiny. For Bangladesh to overcome this critical juncture, the focus must shift toward fostering stability, safeguarding minority rights, and ensuring governance that prioritizes the welfare of its people over divisive and partisan agendas.
