The Arakan Army is deemed an ‘unreliable partner’ for Bangladesh due to its connections with the Wa State Army, according to a warning from a Bangladeshi think tank.

The Bangladeshi Institute of Peace and Security Studies (BIPPS) has warned that the Yunus-led interim authority’s clandestine arrangements with the Arakan Army pose serious security and diplomatic risks. Characterizing the Arakan Army as an “unreliable partner” due to its ties with Chinese-backed militias, the policy brief raises concerns over unauthorized incursions, the legitimacy of the proposed humanitarian corridor, and the lack of parliamentary oversight in Bangladesh’s foreign policy decisions. The report also highlights potential threats of narcotics and arms smuggling, regional instability, and adverse geopolitical responses from major stakeholders such as China, India, and Russia.

Bangladesh is reeling from a major economic setback after straining its critical ties with India, resulting in the closure of over 160 factories and the loss of more than 40,000 jobs. Muhammad Yunus’s controversial decisions and the suspension of India’s transshipment support have left Bangladesh’s garment industry, which powers 85% of its exports, in crisis. Export costs have skyrocketed, further compounded by Bangladesh’s limited port capacity and restrictions on Indian cotton imports, pushing the country’s global competitiveness into sharp decline.
