Fall Of A Monster: Dictator Hasina

 

 On July 36th, 2024, Bangladesh is facing a new dawn. After a sleepless night, at one point, the morning sun rose. Today's sun seems to be spreading a deeper crimson glow than on other days. With unwavering faith in the Creator, breaking the curfew and after a final embrace from their parents, millions of young people are already taking position at the entry points of Dhaka. In their eyes and faces, there is only the vow to avenge the killing of their brothers, the pledge to free Bangladesh from vultures. It’s not just the youth who are strengthened by this vow; people of all ages, from children to the elderly, have joined this cause. On their heads, they bear the flag of the nation—the very flag for which thousands of mothers have returned their children to the Creator. As it is 7:30 in the morning, law enforcement launches a sudden attack on the Shahid Minar. Simultaneously, attacks are being carried out in Shahbag, Uttara, and Mirpur. Fresh blood spills onto the ground; the blood of so many martyrs falls like rain, as if returning to this earth once more. A pin-drop silence descends across Dhaka, even though the entry points of the city are heated with millions of people desperate for revenge for the killings. As soon as it is 9 AM, the internet service is shut down; everyone is preparing to face another massacre. Throughout various parts of the city, the invading forces are reveling in a bloody game of Holi. A declaration has come from ISPR urging everyone to remain calm; the army chief will hold a press conference. Some people hold hope that the army will join the ranks of the people, while others feel a sense of apprehension. Suddenly, a swarm of people breaks through the law enforcement barricades, facing bullets with their chests, and takes over the alleyways of Dhaka. Their destination is Ganabhaban.

By this time, news spreads that the mass murderer, the tyrant Hasina, is fleeing the country. The seat of tyranny, Ganabhaban, is now the people's house. Some people fall into prostration, expressing gratitude to the Creator, while everyone else is eager to erase the marks of tyranny. The long 16 years of pain, the shackles of oppression, are overflowing with laughter. Over there, a mother who has lost her child joins the young people, singing in unison, 'Hasina has fled("হাসিনা পালাইছে").

The story of Hasina turning into the tyrant Hasina begins in 2008, when she became the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Though that election had faced strong objections from politicians. Upon coming to power, Hasina’s first blow was in 2009, when 57 senior officers of the patriotic Bangladesh Army were killed. As a result, the backbone of the Bangladeshi state was broken, and Bangladesh became a servant to Hasina and the neighboring country, as seen through border killings, smuggling, and actions against the interests of the nation.

Following this, Hasina chose the path of inhumane oppression against opposition party members, leading to thousands of people becoming victims of extrajudicial killings and disappearances, which was made evident by sanctions from the United Nations. Then, on May 5th, 2013, the murderer Hasina carried out one of the most heinous massacres in history against thousands of Muslim religious leaders and their followers. To justify this massacre, she fabricated a false narrative of terrorism.

After that, she stripped people of their voting rights and came to power illegally for three consecutive terms. One by one, she established her control over all the institutions of the country. One of the most notable among these was the judiciary, which she brought under her control. She unjustly labeled opposition leaders as war criminals and executed them. She had a stranglehold on the media, and through corruption, she transformed Bangladesh into an undemocratic state on the world stage, turning it into a valley of death.

In July 2024, through her final massacre of students protesting for quota reforms, Hasina drove the last nail into her coffin. She shuts down the country's internet service, isolating Bangladesh from the rest of the world, and kills thousands of teenagers, young people, and the elderly, leaving mothers childless and brothers without sisters. Subsequently, on August 5th, the march to Dhaka leads to the fall of the tyrant Hasina, marking Bangladesh's second independence. Now is the time to build a new Bangladesh; the blood of the martyrs must not be allowed to go in vain. In unison, we want to say: while we are not all the same, together we are one. When the call has come, we step onto the path. Hearing the call, let the voices rise today in harmony. Raise one flag!
