US reiterates its concerns over Haas’s security​

The US has reiterated security concerns for its ambassador to Bangladesh, Peter Haas, with the Bangladesh mission in Washington DC.

"We have raised this matter at the highest levels of the Bangladeshi government, as well as with the Bangladesh embassy in Washington, DC," said a US embassy spokesperson in Dhaka yesterday.

On December 15, Muhammad Imran, Bangladesh's ambassador to the US, was called to the State Department by Donald Lu, the US assistant secretary of state for the bureau of south and central Asian affairs.

The previous day, Haas had called in at the Shaheenbagh home of missing BNP leader Sajedul Islam Sumon to meet with the families of victims of enforced disappearance.


Such families have a platform called Mayer Daak, where Sumon's mother is a key organiser.

As the prescheduled meeting was going on, members of Mayer Kanna took positions in front of the house and demanded justice for their relatives who were victims of court martial during the regime of late president Ziaur Rahman, founder of BNP, in 1977.

The meeting was interrupted by protestors, who attempted to enter the building where Haas was located. Due to security concerns, Haas ended the meeting earlier than scheduled. As he was exiting the venue, the other protestors surrounded the ambassador's vehicle.

He is a career Foreign Service guy. I don't understand why he wants to get down and dirty with local political hatreds. Enforced disappearances are part of local political culture and should not be the concern of U.S. Foreign policy. He should remember what happened to Daniel Pearl when he started asking too many questions.

I am sure he had words with the US State Dept before the meeting.
I don't think AL has the b*lls to harm US Ambassador.

That is true - however as the ruling party, Awami League have to watch and rein in the unruly elements of some of these over-enthusiastic Awami factions who'd like to disrupt the activities of the US ambassador. I am sure the RAW morons were also involved.

This will be a bad precedent for Hasina and she knows the resulting set of repercussions. If Indians were involved, they will pay as well.

Maybe Hasina knows another set of sanctions are coming, and she is getting desperate before the inevitable....

Do not please assume Indian involvement on such short notice. It was all BAL, Jubo League, and Chatro League.

Dr. Reza Kibria was saying more sanctions are set to kick in if Hasina either repeats something or crosses certain line.
It is the poor people who are paying the price now.

But our brave(!) BAL lackeys don't care.

They mistakenly don't think that this is the USA who helped BAL to grab power through 1/11! And now they want to oust them!

Like muddy headed BAL lackey @UKBengali , still believe that the empress has the power to use USA , China , Russia and India fighting each others , as if she is Helen of Greek mythology and heroes will be fighting over her!

These guys have no clue what US sanctions can do. The first set of sanctions stopped all the killing, newspapers are printing more real news, and opposition can actually conduct political activities.
As you can see USA sanctioned just about everybody in Russia.
Russia produces 10 million barrels of oil a day, Bangladesh does not. Russia is generally an industrialized country, Bangladesh is not.

The first set of sanctions stopped all the killings, you see more real news on media, and real opposition can conduct political activities.
Unlike Republicans Democrats make big deals about human rights.
You do remember world Bank made accusation against her son Joy ? The next set of sanctions could be directed at him or other close associates.

These folks are either ignorant of current condition , or they understand it , but just simply driving the ghost away by singing in midnight when they are walking alone on a rural street without any electricity!

But in reality they are too much afraid! Just they are showing to ghost that , hey ghost we are brave and don't care about you!

Pipilikar pakha othe moribar tore. BAL leaders know very well their autocratic days are over. But, they want their supporters to remain strong.

So, BAL organizes to show false strength of their party.

That's how they make connections and rapport with locals.

You have to know and understand why the govt of America imposed sanctions on certain BD elements.

One of the causes is the enforced disappearances of certain political opposition guys. And the Ambassador met one family which has been victimized by Hasina Bibi.
