    The last US nail in Sheikh Hasina's coffin

    This time around everyone external abandoned her. However the only way she is going to go is nothing short of kicking and screaming !

    Boeing or Airbus: Biman for comparative study before new purchase

    I second that. There is enough traffic in Bangladesh to support 50 airliners, but in reality that's not what we see. They should hire a competent CEO possibly from abroad as the local folks just can't rise to the challenges of this position. Air India hired CEO from NZ to run the company last...

    Bangladesh needs free, fair polls for GSP plus facility: EU

    The visa is targeting BAL and other Govt people. The idea is to make them understand sticking with the present course have consequences. We all know there is no honor among thieves, they are the first ones to jump off the ship. As far as PM is concerned, IMHO she is not going anywhere.

    Bangladesh needs free, fair polls for GSP plus facility: EU

    This is a double whammy. This leaves Japan and Canada out of the ban and gsp issues. Canadian sanction or visa ban will play a positive influence on free and fair election as a big chunk of the money is parked in Canada.

    Don't know about additional US sanctions, says Bangladesh Foreign Minister Momen in response to report

    US sends warning to Bangladesh on free election

    A clear case of escalation. Can't wait to hear what Alga Momen has to say about this ! BTW Blinken's tweet is very vague so this can apply to anyone who is benefitting from BAL being in power !

    Well if you think that days of being in power is coming to an end then you would make all the deals to get the money in the front end. All the private power stations were given guaranteed rates even if the plant remains idle. The deals are binding as they are sovereign debts ! So folks in...
