Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has alleged that the United States was behind her ouster from power after she refused to cede sovereignty of St. Martin Island, a disputed territory in the Bay of Bengal. The island's geopolitical significance is immense, with control over the region potentially giving Washington influence over the surrounding waters. Hasina resigned as PM amid protests and allegations of human rights abuses. The US State Department had previously questioned the legitimacy of Bangladesh's elections, citing concerns over freedom and fairness.
