With the victory of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League a foregone conclusion, the big question is how India, China, Europe and the United States will be configured in relation to Bangladesh, writes Kamal Ahmed.
Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus convicted in Bangladesh labour law case
Yunus and three colleagues from Grameen Telecom, one of the firms he founded, are accused of violating labour laws when they failed to create a workers’ welfare fund in the company.
Amidst the G20's grandeur, a scene unfolds,
Sheikh Hasina's choice, a story yet untold,
While leaders tread the carpet, green and grand,

A leader's move, some may deem without peer,
An act unaware, or an ill-fated chance,
In the world's gaze, her decision's consequence.
