In an unprecedented move, Yemen’s Prime Minister has resigned, publicly accepting responsibility for the country’s prolonged failure. Such a rare gesture from a war-torn nation’s top leadership highlights how internal strife and misgovernance can push a country toward collapse.
🔥 Yemen: Four Decades of Civil War
Yemen has become a symbol of prolonged civil war, sectarian conflict, and geopolitical tension. For over 40 years, the nation has been engulfed in internal battles — from Houthi insurgencies to the rise of Al-Qaeda, and the shadowy involvement of regional powers like Saudi Arabia and Iran. Fueled by the Sunni-Shia divide, Yemen has descended into one of the poorest countries in the world.
Strategically located along the Red Sea, Yemen was once home to rich ancient civilizations. Despite possessing vast reserves of oil, gas, natural resources, and tourism potential, nearly 75% of Yemen’s population today struggles to secure their next meal.
🏙️ How Yemen’s Neighbors Moved Ahead
While neighboring countries like Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have focused on education, technology, tourism, and economic development, Yemen remained trapped in a cycle of power struggles and civil conflict. The result: a devastated nation falling further behind.
⚠️ A Wake-Up Call for Bangladesh
Although Bangladesh does not currently face armed militias or extremist factions like Yemen, growing political polarization, partisanship, and a relentless pursuit of power are becoming increasingly concerning. Political involvement is overshadowing academic activities in universities. Both students and teachers are becoming entangled in violent political clashes.
University students are abandoning classrooms for the streets, spending years protesting and demanding reforms. Yet, there is little reflection on whether these reforms can be meaningful without a strong foundation in education.
🌏 Bangladesh’s Untapped Potential
Bangladesh is blessed with immense opportunities — from agriculture, industry, and tourism to a vibrant and youthful population. Its geographical and strategic position adds to its potential on the global stage. But if political rivalry, corruption, and revenge-driven politics are not curtailed, the nation could face a fate worse than Yemen’s.
📢 Conclusion
The resignation of Yemen’s Prime Minister should serve as a wake-up call. It’s not too late. Let us rise above partisan interests and focus on education, technology, and sustainable development. Together, we can build a peaceful and prosperous Bangladesh for the next generation.
