The reset or pause button sounds like the best idea for Bangladesh.
MARYLAND, US: Ambassador William B Milam has written a noteworthy and analytical article on Bangladesh, illustrating the dysfunctional politics intertwined with a surprisingly successful economy.
The reset or pause button sounds like the best idea for Bangladesh, as a one-sided election could lead to further lethal violence that would increasingly destabilise the state. This time around, the military should refrain from the arbitrary arrests of politicians and businessmen for extortion purposes. The military should also ensure a level playing field where a third party can emerge, as the people have been through enough turmoil, with the current parties having wreaked havoc on ordinary citizens.
