“Dhaka’s Silent Coup: Was Sheikh Hasina Betrayed by the CIA—or by Her Own Blood?”

A political storm is raging in Bangladesh after explosive revelations from a new book that claims Sheikh Hasina’s fall was no accident—but the result of a CIA-orchestrated plot carried out through her own circle of power.

According to the authors, the operation was not a typical coup with tanks or gunfire. Instead, it was a “soft overthrow,” designed in Washington and executed in Dhaka — with Army Chief General Wakeruzzaman, Hasina’s own relative, playing the central role.

Washington’s Hand, Dhaka’s Fall

The book alleges that the U.S. planned a “controlled collapse” of Hasina’s rule after she resisted American demands, especially regarding Saint Martin’s Island, a tiny but strategically crucial strip of land in the Bay of Bengal.

“If I give up the island, I may save my power—but I’ll lose my country,” Hasina reportedly told aides weeks before her exit.

Former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan is quoted saying, “We realized too late that General Waker was already under American influence.”

The Island That Changed Everything

At the heart of the conspiracy, the book claims, was the Saint Martin Island deal — a long-standing U.S. interest in expanding its military and intelligence footprint in the Indian Ocean. Hasina’s refusal, according to the authors, sealed her fate.

The CIA, they allege, leveraged internal military factions and opposition groups to fuel nationwide protests, paving the way for a “peaceful-looking coup.”

A Betrayal from Within

After taking charge as army chief in June 2024, General Waker reportedly began aligning with Islamist factions and Jamaat-e-Islami, turning street anger into political pressure.
By August 5, Hasina was out of power — a move that, according to insiders, was “months in the making.”

The Moment of Deception

When violent protests erupted in Dhaka, Hasina instructed her home minister to deploy the police. The general objected, saying, “The people trust the army now, not the police.”
That single decision, insiders say, marked the beginning of her downfall.

Power, Paranoia, and a Broken Trust

Today, Bangladesh’s military faces growing scrutiny over human rights abuses and political interference. With several top officers reportedly under investigation, General Waker’s credibility is crumbling, and questions are mounting about how deep the foreign influence goes.

Political observers in Dhaka say it bluntly:
“This wasn’t just a change in government—it was the rewriting of Bangladesh’s power map.”
