Bangladesh's St. Martin Island: What a potential US airbase could mean for region New DelhiWritten By: Mukul SharmaUpdated: Aug 11, 2024 A three square kilometre stretch of land, St Martin's Island in the northeastern part of the Bay of Bengal, has emerged as the point of focus in the ongoing Bangladesh crisis that led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government earlier this week. The ousted former Bangladeshi prime minister claimed that she could have remained in power had she given away St Martin's to the United States Last year, while addressing a press conference in Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina said, "I don’t want to return to power by leasing out St Martin’s Island." For several years, the rumours of Washington wanting to control the island have been doing the rounds in and beyond Dhaka's corridors of power. Notably, it is claimed that the US intends to build an air base on the small island, located just eight kilometres from Myanmar. wionews.com
