Sheikh Hasina alleges US role in ouster, says could've remained in power if she surrendered sovereignty of Saint Martin Island

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, now in India, accused the US of orchestrating her ousting over disputes regarding Saint Martin Island, which she claimed was to assert control over the Bay of Bengal. In a statement, Hasina justified her resignation to avoid further violence and urged Bangladeshi citizens not to fall prey to radical manipulation. She expressed sorrow over the ongoing violence and leadership killings in Bangladesh, reaffirming her commitment to the Awami League and her hope for the country's future. Hasina also denied inciting student protests, claiming her words were misrepresented.

      Unless she employs small people in her guard this image is photoshopped. This page says she is 5 feet 4 inches.

    “… and THAT’S why it’s totally justified for me to have murdered thousands of my own citizens, rather than behave like a democratically elected leader”.

      These guys aren’t in some kind of parade or ceremonial display, nor do they appear to be at a guard post.

      They’re just soldiers standing by. In that situation there’s no need for a uniform display to impress anyone. Keeping soldiers at drill precision 100% all thetime is a good way to fatigue soldiers who don’t need to be perfect quickly.

      Besides which, all of them have a hand near their trigger guards and most have hands resting on the barrel of their weapons so are reasonably prepared if someone does try something.

          I too was infantry. And muscle memory doesn’t necessarily mean always being engaged to the process, it means being able to return to the necessary posture when needed.

          It wasn’t uncommon for us to rest our hands on our rifles too when we didn’t need to be actively engaged in the current situation in any hostile fashion.
