[ALOCHONA] National Security : Bangladesh perspective



National Security : Bangladesh perspective
 

BANGLADESH, lying between the Himalayas in the north and the Bay of Bengal in the south, offers the only land route connecting South and Southeast Asia. Any invasion into South Asia from the East must pass through Bangladesh; the Japanese tried to do just that in the World War II. The British colonization of India also started from Bengal when the Bay of Bengal became the point of ingress. Bangladesh's close proximity to both India and China, two rising power in the 21st century, adds to its geographic importance.

India shares more than 3000 km of border with Bangladesh. The border is well demarcated except few stretches totalling about 9 km that remains unresolved due mainly to lack of political will. India envelops Bangladesh on three sides; similarly, Bangladesh almost dissects the north-eastern India from the heartland. Lying only 30 miles north of Bangladesh is the strategically important Nathu La pass that connects India with China through Tibet. Despite rapprochement with India, the Chinese have not recognized the so-called "McMahon Line" or renounced claim on the Indian state of Arunachal. Thus, in the unlikely event of an India-China conflict, the access to or denial of the use of Bangladesh territory to the belligerent forces will be of utmost strategic importance. As India becomes an economic powerhouse its need for shorter, faster, and more diverse means of communication between the northeast and the rest of India becomes more urgent and therefore, the need to transit across Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh-Myanmar land border is demarcated, inflow of minority Arakanese refugees has been a source of tension for many years. The Bay of Bengal spans the vital maritime route between SE Asia and ME. Bangladesh has vital interest in the Bay, but its neighbours - India and Myanmar - dispute its maritime boundary claim. Unless resolved amicably, the maritime boundary issue could be a serious irritant in inter-state relations.

Water and Energy: Bangladesh's primary strategic concerns
While the demand for fresh water continues to rise in Bangladesh, as elsewhere in the world, its supply dwindles. Some of the major rivers are being diverted upstream in India. The Ganges or Tista, once mighty rivers, have reduced to trickles. Lack of information from India regarding proposed Tipaimukh dam over the Barak has been a concern for Bangladesh. The Chinese government's plan to divert the Brahmaputra could be a major issue affecting millions in India and Bangladesh. Unless the riparian countries join together to ensure optimum use of water, there is the likelihood of conflict and tension in the region in future. Our industrial growth continues to suffer due to shortage of electricity. Meanwhile, a regional power grid could be established to import power from countries such as India, Nepal and Bhutan, which have great potential for hydroelectricity. Water and energy could be the two most important areas of regional cooperation or confrontation.

Bangladesh's national security priorities
Based on the discussion so far, it can be concluded that the danger of Bangladesh getting involved in an armed conflict with either India or Myanmar or with a country beyond the border is remote. Bangladesh's grievances with India could be addressed if the Mujib-Indira Pact of 1973 is implemented. Although the Maritime boundary has not yet been demarcated, the negotiation is already on with Myanmar and India, the prognosis so far is that a negotiated settlement will be arrived at with the spirit of compromise and cooperation. It is important for us to remember that rivers are the common heritage of mankind and an equitable share of the resources would benefit us all.
On the non-traditional front, however, there are quite a few challenges. The first is the threat of terrorist activities inside the country and across the border. All the SAARC countries have recognized this and they have signed a number of protocols to that effect. In the past, the Indians alleged that separatists from NE states used Bangladesh territory as sanctuary and even used our territory to smuggle in arms and ammunition. Bangladesh continued to deny their presence here. It is now alleged that some top-ranking security officials of Bangladesh were involved in the process. That is indeed deplorable, if true. These are the issues that we need to take care of for the future. In this respect the suggestion put forward by our PM to create a Counter Terrorism Task Force manned by security personnel from all South Asian countries will be a step in the right direction.

The neighbours have viewed Bangladesh's population as a possible security concern. But the good news here is that as the economy prospered and education spread, the population growth reduced. Since 1971, the population has doubled but per capita income has gone up nearly seven times. Instead of being afraid of hungry mass migrating across the border, our neighbours, India and Myanmar should invest here and enter into greater economic activities to the mutual benefit of all so that the people have no incentive to leave. One of our biggest security insurance would be to turn Bangladesh into a regional hub of transportation, transhipment, and transit that would attract investment and boost national economy. A powerful economy means a robust national security.

Bangladesh military and national security
Bangladesh armed forces are to provide a robust response to traditional security threats whenever and from whatever sources those appear. Building up an army, air or naval force is a long drawn out affair. Just because we do not have a threat in sight does not mean we have no need of an armed force. The purpose of the military is to ensure that the threat is not allowed to develop and nipped in the bud. A standing military provides quick response to crush the threat before it gains an upper hand. Our armed forces must be able to inflict sufficient damage to an aggressor to deter him from launching an attack in the first place, what is called deterrence capability. Given the financial resources that are made available now for the military, we would be able to further develop our forces to meet the challenges that might appear.

In the non-traditional sphere, we already have the threat of religious extremists who want to establish an Islamic state by violent means. We also have the extreme leftists who in the name of establishing a classless society are in fact, looting the countryside. Coupled with these are the separatist elements from across the border trying to use Bangladesh as sanctuary; arms and drug smugglers use Bangladesh as a conduit. The armed forces would be called upon to help the law enforcing agencies whenever required. Military's training and operational doctrine, force structuring and equipment procurement should reflect these urgent security imperatives.

Bangladesh armed forces had done a great job in peacekeeping missions worldwide. Although these do not contribute directly to national security, the goodwill that they earn in the international arena helps us boost our national image. Moreover, exposure to international arena, dangers and hazards of operations under different climatic, cultural and operational conditions enhances military professionalism, thus helping national security posture. Employment of armed forces in nation building works such as construction projects, disaster management, medical emergencies not only enhance the forces' professional capability but also contributes directly towards mitigating comprehensive security besides bettering civil-military relations.

Conclusion
National security is a vital issue for the nation, yet it is not often discussed in public. It is considered to be a classified matter best left to the military; ordinary citizen would not be privy to it. In the developed world research, debates and discussions are carried out in the universities and national security issues are in the open for all to participate. Thanks to organization such as Dhaka University, BIISS, BEI etc., we now have a pool of experts who could make important contribution in the security debate. While the issues are debated in civil society, media and on the floor of the parliament, the military and other security agencies would provide vital inputs so that a correct judgment could be arrived at. As the theoretical structure of the national security undergoes revision, we need to focus on the security challenges of Bangladesh, now and in the future, and prepare ourselves to face those challenges.

[ALOCHONA] Maoist objective is to overthrow Indian state: Home Secretary



Maoist objective is to overthrow Indian state: Home Secretary
 
Union Home Secretary Gopal Krishna Pillai said on Friday that the Maoist objective was to overthrow the Indian state by 2050, possibly with the help of ex-armymen. Speaking at the Institute of Defence Studies and Analysis in New Delhi, he said a detailed analysis of Naxal operations showed that they may be helped by ex-Armymen. Also, documents found showed that the Maoist agenda was to overthrow the Indian state by 2050.

The home secretary said the Maoists were not serious about talks because they weren't under enough pressure to do so. The estimated annual income of Maoists is Rs 1,400 crore.Right now, they were looking to regroup and build their own army towards their plans. And, Mr Pillai said, they were using administrative vacuum and underdevelopment to do this.The home secy has also warned that Maoists may move into Bihar as the state has elections coming up and perhaps want to go soft on Maoists.

Analysis of Naxal attacks has revealed detailed and precise planning. Some aspects that point to possible involvement of ex-army and ex-para military personnel:
  • Lethal use of improvised explosive device (IED)
  • Precise, pin-pointed intelligence-based attacks on vulnerable posts/camps
  • Practice of swift retreat/melting away after attacks with arms looted from security forces
Reacting to the Home Secretary's statement, writer-activist Arundhati Roy said Naxals today are a guerrilla force, not an army. She also said that she does not justify the Maoist violence.

[ALOCHONA] OPEN DEMOCRACY - Bangladesh erupts in ethnic violence



Bangladesh erupts in ethnic violence

Pinaki Roy

5 March 2010

OPEN DEMOCRACY

http://www.opendemocracy.net/openindia/pinaki-roy/bangladesh-erupts-in-ethnic-violence

 

Bangladesh has been rocked by the recent flaring up of decades old ethnic tensions, as Bengali settlers set fire to hundreds of indigenous homes. Pinaki Roy reports from Dhaka on the latest developments and explores the background to the violence

 

About the author

Pinaki Roy is deputy chief reporter for Bangladeshi newspaper The Daily Star in Dhaka

 

Recent violence between the indigenous community and majority Bengali speakers in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) region of Bangladesh left two people dead and many injured.

 

Thousands of indigenous people were left homeless as their shanty houses were burnt to ashes on February 19th and 20th. In the attacks, committed by members of the majority Bengali speaking population in the presence of law enforcers, two people including a woman were killed and more than 50 injured, while 357 houses were set ablaze across 11 villages.

 

The indigenous people from these villages are now hiding in the dense forest or have moved to other villages. They claim the attacks were an attempt to grab their land and properties.

 

Human rights worker Sathi Chakma visited Baghaichhari, where the arson took place, on March 2nd. She said the homeless people were living in fear in Baghaihaat.

 

"Many are coming with relief. But the relief will matter nothing to them if they can't rebuild their houses soon," she said.

 

"The land where there were villages is barren now. The sooner they can build their houses the better, otherwise the Bengali settlers might grab their land." Sathi, who belongs to the indigenous community, said she strongly believed the attack was primarily a land grab.

 

Old fire in the hills

Violence centring on land issues is nothing new in the CHT. It has been going on since 1978, when the government decided to settle Bengali speaking people in the CHT where indigenous communities including Chakma, Marma, Tripura, Bom, Murong, Chak and some other small groups were living traditionally.

 

In 2008, Bengali speakers set fire to the villages of indigenous people in the same area, and grabbed indigenous land where 35 Bengali speaking families later built new houses.

 

 

Since then, the indigenous community have been protesting and demanding the government give their land back.

 

Indigenous local Hridoy Chakma told journalists after the recent attacks that soldiers from nearby camps went to his house and demanded his land to extend their army camps.

 

Ignoring his pleas, the army removed Hridoy from his land and later handed it over to Bengali speakers.

 

The army dominates the hills, especially since the government of densely populated Bangladesh adopted its policy of settling landless Bengali speaking people in the CHT, which comprises a tenth of the country's total land mass.

 

The violence is no different this time round. Tension started in January when the indigenous people of Retkaba village in Baghaihat protested the taking of their land and submitted a memorandum to the government representative in Baghaichhari.

 

They did not get their land back, and relations between Bengali speaking and indigenous people grew bitter.

 

On February 19th, Bengali settlers attacked the Retkaba and Gangaraam Mukh villages in Baghaihat and torched 33 indigenous houses.

 

The next day, the indigenous people protested the arson attacks on their houses. The military arrived and asked them to leave, then charged them with truncheons to disperse them.

 

A protester attacked an army sergeant with his machete, prompting the military to fire on the indigenous people. At least two people were killed on the spot including a woman, and some seven people were injured.

 

An indigenous man who was at the scene and did not want to be named told The Samosa that after firing, the army together with the group of settlers set fire to almost all the adjacent villages in the Gangaram Mukh area.

 

More than 300 thatched and corrugated tin indigenous houses in 11 villages were burnt to ashes in intermittent attacks, allegedly launched by Bengali settlers.

 

On February 23rd the trouble spread to the town of Khagrachhari, where Bengali settlers torched the houses of indigenous people. The government moved to outlaw outside gatherings of more than four people, and a Bengali speaking youth, Anawar Hossain, was found dead at Adarshapara in Khagrachhari after setting fire to indigenous houses.

 

Still tension remained in the area. The indigenous refugees could not go back to their villages even 12 days after the attacks, and have had to live off food rations sent by the government and NGOs.

 

The blame game

The leaders of the Bengali settlers deny they set fire to the houses of indigenous people.

 

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is currently Bangladesh's main opposition party. Abdul Wadud Bhuiyan (left), a Khagrachhari lawmaker for the BNP from 2001 to 2006, is accused of provoking Bengali people to attack the indigenous community. A Bengali settler himself, Bhuiyan responded at a press conference in Dhaka that it was the government's supporters who attacked the indigenous people.

 

Meanwhile Maniruzzaman Manir, the leader of the Parbatya Chattagram Sama Odhikar Andolan (PCSOA), an organisation of Bengalis in the CHT, claimed that the indigenous people were getting support from international communities and fighting the Bengali settlers.

 

He demanded safety and security for Bengali speaking people in the hills.

 

Accord and discord

During its previous term in government, the Awami League signed a peace accord with the Parbatya Chattagram Janashanghati Samity (PCJSS), the regional political party of indigenous people, on December 2nd 1997.

 

The Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord ended a 20 year bush war between the Bangladeshi army and the Shanti Bahini, the guerilla force of the PCJSS, in three hill districts – Rangamati, Khagrachhari and Bandarban – in the CHT.

 

The Shanti Bahini was fighting the Bangladesh army because of the government policy of settling Bengali speaking people in the CHT where the indigenous people traditionally lived.

 

The indigenous people claimed their inherited land was given to newly settled Bengali speaking people, and launched an armed struggle during the early 1980s, demanding full autonomy for the CHT.

 

Expecting a peaceful situation following the Peace Accord, many indigenous people who had fled to refugee camps in India started returning home, only to find their land encroached by Bengali speaking people. Though the Awami League government had signed the peace accord at the end of 1997, they could not implement it due to protests by the opposition BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami.

 

BNP and Jamaat came to power in 2001 and shelved the accord without implementing it. Instead, the BNP-led government encouraged Bengali speaking people to settle in the CHT.

 

After winning the 2008 national election, the present Awami League government assured the indigenous leaders they would implement the accord as soon as possible.

 

But there is still a long way to go to implement the accord due to land disputes. The indigenous people want their land back while the Bengali speaking people say the government gave the land to them. There are thousands of such land disputes in the CHT.

 

Purnomaas Bhikku, a Buddhist monk who was in the area where the recent arson attacks took place, travelled around 400km from Baghaihat to Dhaka to take part in a Buddhist monks' protest on February 28th. He said: "Such violent situations are taking part again and again. Now the hill people need a peaceful situation."

 

Though Purnomaas Bhikkhu recites 'Sabbe Sotta Sukhita Honto' ('All the living entity be happy') everyday while praying, he does not foresee a peaceful situation in the hills.

[ALOCHONA] FW: All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 99.6% that Aren’t




 


Subject: All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 99.6% that Aren't

 
 
All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 99.6% that Aren't
 


 
 

Europol releases an annual study of terrorism; the results do not support claims that "(nearly) all Muslims are terrorists"
Europol releases an annual study of terrorism; the results do not support claims that "(nearly) all Muslims are terrorists"
 


Islamophobes have been popularizing the claim that "not all Muslims are terrorists, but (nearly) all terrorists are Muslims." Despite this idea becoming axiomatic in some circles, it is quite simply not factual. In my previous article entitled "All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 94% that Aren't", I used official FBI records to show that only 6% of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil from 1980 to 2005 were carried out by Islamic extremists. The remaining 94% were from other groups (42% from Latinos, 24% from extreme left wing groups, 7% from extremist Jews, 5% from communists, and 16% from all other groups).

But what about across the pond? The data gathered by Europol strengthens my argument even further. (hat tip: Koppe) Europol publishes an annual report entitled EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report. On their official website, you can access the reports from 2007, 2008, and 2009. (If anyone can find the reports from earlier than that, please let me know so we can include those as well.)

The results are stark, and prove decisively that not all terrorists are Muslims. In fact, a whopping 99.6% of terrorist attacks in Europe were by non-Muslim groups; a good 84.8% of attacks were from separatist groups completely unrelated to Islam. Leftist groups accounted for over sixteen times as much terrorism as radical Islamic groups. Only a measly 0.4% of terrorist attacks from 2007 to 2009 could be attributed to extremist Muslims.

Here are the official tables provided in the reports…

For 2006:

20063b


For 2007:

2007b


For 2008:

20081b
(According to the report, there was 1 "Islamist attack" in the UK in 2008, which was omitted in the table above. It has been included in the bar graph below.)

Just glancing at those tables is enough to know how absurd it is to claim that "all terrorists are Muslims." That statement is nowhere near the truth. If we compile the data, it comes out to this:

barchart-copy


On p.7, the 2009 Europol report concludes:

Islamist terrorism is still perceived as being the biggest threat worldwide, despite the fact that the EU only faced one Islamist terrorist attack in 2008. This bomb attack took place in the UK…Separatist terrorism remains the terrorism area which affects the EU most. This includes Basque separatist terrorism in Spain and France, and Corsican terrorism in France…Past contacts between ETA and the FARC illustrate the fact that also separatist terrorist organizations seek cooperation partners outside the EU on the basis of common interests. In the UK, dissident Irish republican groups, principally the RIRA and the CIRA, and other paramilitary groups may continue to engage in crime and violence.

Perception is not reality. Due to the right wing's influence and propaganda, people mistakenly think that Islamic terrorism is the greatest threat to the Western world. It is even a commonly held belief that Islamic terrorism poses an existential threat-that the very survival of the Western world is at stake. Of course, the reality is that there are other groups that engage in terrorism on a much larger scale, yet these terrorist incidents are minimized. Acts of terrorism committed by Muslims are purposefully sensationalized and focused upon, culminating in the idea that "(nearly) all terrorists are Muslims."

Terrorism from Islamic extremists is certainly a cause for concern, but it need not be an issue that creates mass hysteria. Nor should it be allowed to be such a critical issue that we are willing to sacrifice our ideals or civil rights for fear of it. Neither should we be reduced to a status of absolute sissitude. We have analyzed data from America and Europe (a good portion of the entire Western world), and the threat from Islamic terrorism is much more minimal than commonly assumed; in the U.S., it accounts for 6% of terrorist attacks, and in Europe not even half of a percent.

It is only through sensationalism and fear mongering that the topic of Islamic terrorism is allowed to be used to demonize a religious community that happens to be a minority in the West. When confronted by such lunacy, we ought to respond with the facts and the truth.

In a future article, we shall analyze the data for terrorism on the world stage in order to further strengthen our argument…

[ALOCHONA] Calling BD Govt to implement strick GMP rules to drug manufactures to save lives



Dear my country men and women,
 
I urge current Govt and Pharmaceutical companies in Bangladesh to strength the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in Bangladesh to save lives.  People are suffering in Bangladesh due to the ineffective and low potent drugs where majority drugs are manufactured by the Bangladeshi Pharmaceutical companies.  Most of them lack in GMP and Quality System Management (QSM).  This is a huge issue for Bangladesh to save lives if any concrete steps are not taken immediately.
 
I propose three steps program for the Current Govt in Bangladesh:
 
1) Train the Health Inspectors as per USFDA and put strict law to prevent adulterated drugs in the market.  Since we are digitalizing the whole country with  better communication and using new IT technologies,  we may be missing the basic urgency to save lives in Bangladesh without implementing strict GMP regulations in Bangladesh.  There are lots of NRB and their companies can help Bangladesh to move forward in this sector.
 
2) Provide incentives to the Bangladeshi Pharmaceutical companies to implement strict GMP and QSM to help manufacturing quality drugs.
 
3) Make people and owners accountable who make and sale adulterated drugs in the markets.
 
I hope my proposal would saves lives in Bangladesh in future if current Govt implement the above steps immediately.  We are here to help the current Govt and will answer their call.  We have lots NRB in USA and other countries who can contribute to Bangladesh in this issue and I am sure people with good heart would come forward to help the Bangladesh Govt to saves lives from using adulterate and low potent drugs in Bangladesh.
 
No Bangladeshi Pharmaceuticals Plant has been certified by USFDA due to not meeting the strict GMP regulation and laws.  Some companies are making progress but it is not enough.
 
Regards,
M M Chowdhury, Chemical Engineer
GxP, Validation, Audits & Compliance Expert.
