The claim made by Jeffrey Sachs regarding U.S. regime-change operations in Pakistan and Bangladesh suggests that there is strong evidence of U.S. involvement in the ousting of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and possibly similar actions in Bangladesh. According to Sachs, these actions warrant investigation by the United Nations due to their potential threat to international peace and regional stability. The evidence cited includes a diplomatic cypher from Pakistan's Ambassador to the U.S., which allegedly documents a warning from a U.S. official about the consequences of Khan's neutral stance on Russia and Ukraine. This was followed by political maneuvers leading to Khan's removal. In Bangladesh, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reportedly accused the U.S. of orchestrating her ouster due to her refusal to grant military facilities to the U.S., aligning with its Indo-Pacific strategy. These claims are based on second-hand reports and statements by Hasina, and the situation is complicated by geopolitical tensions involving China and Russia. While these allegations are serious, they remain unproven and are characterized by some as conspiracy theories. The U.S. government has denied involvement in such operations, and the complexity of international relations makes it difficult to substantiate these claims without further investigation. The call for UN involvement highlights the need for an impartial examination of the evidence to determine the validity of these accusations.
