It is plausible that Yunus, recognising the dwindling support and looming consequences of his failed plans, may ultimately seek refuge in a Western country, where he hopes to escape the repercussions of his actions and preserve his legacy—if one can still be salvaged. With Yunus ageing, the window for his political revival is all but closed.

When Yunus assumed power, he  promised democratic reforms, protection of human rights, freedom of the press, and the restoration of the rule of law. Instead, what followed has been a stunning reversal.

It is part of a larger, calculated strategy orchestrated by radical Islamists and jihadists who seized power through what many now call the Jihadist Coup of 2024, orchestrated with the direct patronage of Nobel laureate-turned-Islamist-political-aspirant Muhammad Yunus.

Despite Yunus’s decades-long involvement in promoting and funding LGBTQ causes globally, a growing segment of Islamic leaders in Bangladesh now view him favourably. This contradictory narrative exposes the fragile and often opportunistic dynamics of Bangladeshi politics, where ideological lines can be redrawn overnight.

Once the Constitution is scrapped, Yunus will acquire unchecked authority to dismiss President Muhammad Shahabuddin and Army Chief General Waker Uz Zaman, replacing the Bangladesh Armed Forces with his envisioned “Islamic Revolutionary Army” (IRA).

During a meeting with Yunus on 3rd June this year, United Nations Resident Coordinator Gwyn Lewis expressed her organization’s “unwavering solidarity with Bangladesh’s reform and transition process”, emphasizing the UN’s commitment to “supporting the nation's path towards sustainable development and prosperity”.

Volker Türk’s latest admission clearly demonstrates how the United Nations has played a key role in facilitating terrorism and jihadism - whether in Gaza or in Bangladesh.

Under the patronage of Muhammad Yunus and his Islamist allies, banned militant organizations such as Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) and Hamas are expanding their networks, posing a significant threat to regional and global security.

While the Yunus regime is actively using media channels and PR firms to highlight alleged human rights violations by the previous Hasina government, it is simultaneously blocking access to crucial sections of the UN report that expose the violent and extremist forces behind its own ascent.

Hillary Clinton had illegally used her position in the State Department to award more than US$13 million in grants to Yunus, contracts and loans despite his ouster from Grameen Bank in 2011.
