Mahfuz Alam urged to prepare for civil war

The Facebook post by Mahfuj Alam, an advisor to the current interim government, is a dangerous signal that predicts an ominous future for the country. The language he uses is not just political but points to deep hatred, revenge, and a dark future filled with violence for the nation. His words are not merely about politics; they serve as a call to prepare for an aggressive confrontation and war, adding fuel to the existing tensions and divisions among the people of the country.

In the first part of his post, Mahfuj Alam says, “Those who have pledged allegiance to the old order will unite again.” Here, he refers to a perpetual conflict between the “old order” and the “new order,” which is not just a political struggle between parties or groups but an ideological battle. In this language, he challenges a particular section of the population, urging them to recognize their responsibility and duty. This specific group he refers to is undoubtedly the pro-liberation forces, against whom he has declared a fight to create a new system.

Additionally, Alam’s statement addressing students and youth is particularly significant. He says, “Every generation gets such an opportunity,” implying that the current generation stands at a crucial moment of decision. He refers to the 1990s as an example, where the previous generation’s deception and confusion caused the youth of that time to lose much. According to Alam, the current generation has a special opportunity that, if missed, will lead to a terrible fate. This warning is often echoed by others, suggesting that they believe they have committed a grave crime and that the punishment is inevitable. Previously, Hasnat had also warned, “If we fail, we won’t even face the gallows—we will be brutally killed.” Mahfuj Alam echoes a similar sentiment, warning the youth, “If we allow the old order to return, the students and youth will not survive.”

The most alarming part of his message is the death toll he mentions—”50,000 injured fighters on the ground, and over 2,000 martyrs.” He refers to this as an ongoing process, ensuring that the number will increase. These figures are not mere statistics; they indicate a grim reality in which many lives have already been lost on both sides. Alam clearly states, “This war will happen, in some form or another.” He is not just predicting a future conflict; he is declaring that war is imminent and inevitable. He states outright that the struggle will not just be political, but will result in a massive, bloody conflict that will endanger the nation’s very existence. His post subtly suggests that the war will escalate, and the number of casualties will only grow.

Another frightening aspect is his call: “Do not be afraid to die. Gather and come together more closely.” Here, he is urging the movement to continue despite the looming danger, as if to say that the coming conflict is unavoidable. He honors the memory of the martyrs and calls on the living to unite and participate in the struggle.

Mahfuj Alam’s post is not merely a political speech; it is a clear call to war, one that stirs up the possibility of civil war in the country. He is encouraging the youth to follow a dangerous and exciting path, which will only exacerbate the already fragile situation in the country. His words are not just about politics; they are a grave warning for the nation’s future—if war breaks out, it will bring horrific consequences.
