Yunus: The International Power Behind Bangladesh’s 2026 Election
By: Tuhin Sarwar। Dhaka । February 18, 2026 । Eight months after Bangladesh’s caretaker government assumed power following the collapse of the previous administration in August 2024, the nation experienced one of its most closely watched democratic transitions in recent memory. On 12 February 2026, the country concluded a general election that delivered a two-thirds parliamentary majority to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), enabling Tarique Rahman to take office as Prime Minister. Yet an analysis by India Today reflected across global media outlets frames the story differently: the true strategic victor of Bangladesh’s 18‑month political transition was Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel laureate economist whose international stature and tactical maneuvering shaped the nation’s political landscape in ways no conventional politician has before.

Serhii Gromov, Ukraine’s Peace Museum in Kyiv: UN Peacekeeping History, and the Žepa Legacy Amid War
By Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Milana Olefirenko Bennett (Translator English-Ukrainian) Ukraine’s Peace Museum in Kyiv, founded by former UN peacekeeper Serhii Gromov, documents the country’s contributions to international peacekeeping missions since the early 1990s. Through personal archives, mission artifacts, flags, and correspondence, the museum highlights deployments in the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Angola, and beyond. A central narrative focuses on the 1995 Žepa operation, which Ukrainian accounts credit with saving thousands of civilians. Operating during Russia’s ongoing invasion, the museum presents a paradox: a peace institution functioning in wartime. Its mission is both archival and aspirational, asserting Ukraine’s identity as a peace-contributing nation while enduring active conflict.
