Tête à tête

In an interview with FRANCE 24, Tasnim Jara, a senior figure in Bangladesh's new National Citizen Party, said that the July 2024 uprising that brought down then-leader Sheikh Hasina offers a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to reshape the country's politics. A medical doctor by training and a social media figure, Jara explained that she entered politics to fight "nepotism, polarisation and corruption". While backing the current reform process led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, she said the former ruling party – the Awami League – must face trial before being allowed to run in future elections.
