Waker-Uz-Zaman, the Army Chief of #Bangladesh, had presented a proposal to former Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal– the formation of a new interim government. In fact, he even rushed to the president to ask him to declare a state of emergency in the nation. He left no stone unturned, knocking on the door of Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed, and orchestrating a demonstration for the reinstatement of a fresh interim government. However, in every instance, the Army Chief was turned down. He then took his request to #ProfessorYunus, demanding he prosecute the generals involved in enforced disappearances and murders. But, the Chief Advisor firmly refused, stating that trials for serious crimes like these cannot be carried out anywhere besides the International Crimes Tribunal. After all, enforced disappearances are not illegal under military law. Indeed, Waker-Uz-Zaman went about carrying out this plan with great enthusiasm – believing he would receive backing from the West. However, it was not long before it struck him that his assumption had been wrong. The army is not one with rogue generals. We recognize the military representatives as young officers and soldiers who fearlessly supported our people, particularly during the July Revolution. As for those who conspire to bring Hasina back into power, protect India’s interests or evade responsibility for enforced disappearances and murders – their place surely is in the trashcan of history. The future of Bangladesh belongs not to them; it lies in the hands of the youths, the upright citizens of the nation and the fiercely independent people.
