Rise of fascist Islam under military dictatorship in Bangladesh
It is now crytal clear that Bangladesh is finally under the grip of
fascist fundamentalist forces backed by the Jamaat-e-Islami elements within the army and their like-minded followers inside the World Bank, IMF, ADB and other donor agencies who have slowly creeped into power through the courtesy of Khaleda Zia's BNP. Fakruddin has many of his family members within the so called neutral caretaker government including the industries and foreign advisors (one of three brother-in-laws of Fakruddin who have sided with the UN fed fascist army. Even the outgoing ambassador to US is also a close relative of Fakruddin. Two of the advisors to Khaleda and Hasina who are their advisors, Faroukh Choudhury and Enam Choudhury are also his brother-in-laws, have betrayed both the ladies and have publicly opted in favor of Fakruddin. Fakruddin himself was governor of Bangladesh Bank (appointed by Khaleda) when Bangladesh champion in corruption repeatedly. He too should be tried for corruption. Enam was made chairman of privatisation board by BNP.Fakruddin is even contemplating bringing in one of his friends Mansur fro IMF to head BB and ultimately rip off Bangladesh's economy. Fakruddin himself was a close friend of the assassin Major Dalim in Nairobi, Kenya while he was serving there as a rep of WB and Dalim was appointed anbasador to Kenya by the like-minded fascists in the 80's and 90's. This Fakruddin government has the full backing of Bush-Cheney clique who would like to ignite flashpoints all around Sino-Indian borders to destabilize the emerging superpowers. Fakruddin will not only sow the seeds of Islam based fundamentalist politics in Bangladesh but also fan the flames of communal disharmony among India and Bangladesh. Fakruddin himself was a member of Pakistan's student front NSF in East Pakistan that opposed Bangladesh's secular politics. The Bush-Cheney rightist clique is the perfect match for Fakruddin and his Islamic fascist generals to turn Bangladesh into another Afghanistan. They have tried it many times before and are now out in the open to get Hasina's life.
