On August 8, an interim government was formed under the leadership of Dr Muhammad Yunus to resolve the nationwide crisis that has been created in the country and abroad for the past one and a half months after thousands of students were killed.
However, its main driver is the young society of the country. Counter-revolutionary attempts are being made time and again to thwart their achievement. Fugitive leaders are repeatedly inciting by spreading rumors in neighboring countries. Although it was announced to open the educational institutions after a month and a half, it was not clarified what will be the policy of appointment to the top positions of the university. Already, United Nations and many other countries including China, India, United States, England, Sri Lanka have given their greetings in support of the interim government.
A large part of the country's population is young people under the age of 35 and they should be given opportunities for economic and social development. Their critical thinking, questioning of corruption and fresh perspectives are crucial to meeting the challenges of establishing the rule of law and sustainable development. The familiarity of the younger generation with digital platforms is instrumental in leading them in a technology-driven world.
Creativity and innovation are the hallmarks of youth leadership. In Bangladesh, where traditional approaches are stifling and slow to development, new ideas by the younger generation provide dynamism. Be it in technology, business or social development, young leaders always embrace smart solutions.
Countries around the world that have young leaders perform more competitively, because they can adapt quickly to change and are friendly towards global cooperation. In international relations, young diplomats or leaders can better connect with youth worldwide by promoting international cooperation and understanding. In Bangladesh's case, the young leadership can quickly strengthen ties with other countries and in global forums.
The biggest challenge now is to take quick measures to repair the economic, social and emotional wounds and losses caused by the last movement. Overcoming them is difficult but not impossible. Anyone can create unrest and chaos at a rapid pace with the use of a single word or sentence but it is not an easy task to restore peace to all by declaring a single sentence. For this, the work environment must be created with the necessary time and everyone must be patient.
