Hasina blamed the United States for her resignation: she refused to give the island to a military base

The United States is involved in the resignation of Sheikh Hasina, because she refused to give them the island of St. Martin for the construction of a military base. This was stated by the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, according to the Economic Times.

The publication refers to Hasina's letter to supporters at his disposal.

"I resigned so as not to see the procession of corpses. They wanted to come to power over the corpses of students, but I did not allow it, I resigned as prime minister. I could have stayed in power if I had renounced the sovereignty of the island of Saint Martin and allowed America to control the Bay of Bengal," Sheikh Hasina said, quoted by Kommersant.

As previously reported, the United States has asked Bangladesh to lease an island located in the Bay of Bengal for the construction of an air force and naval base.

As EADaily reported, against the background of anti-government protests that swept Bangladesh, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and flew out of the country. This was reported by Reuters on August 5.

According to the Prothom Alo Daily newspaper, Hasina and her sister flew to India by military helicopter, the News18 TV channel claims that Hasina is heading to Finland.
