周二,孟加拉国政府一名高级官员表示,与现已解散的人民联盟实现和解“并非坏事”,但他同时强调,任何此类和解进程都必须以该政党承认自身责任为前提。此番言论标志着,在该国政治与经济局势动荡之际,孟加拉国民族主义党领导的政府高层首次释放出和解信号。
A senior Bangladesh government official on Tuesday said reconciliation with the now-disbanded Awami League was "not a bad idea", but added that any such process would have to begin with the party acknowledging its responsibility. The remarks marked the first conciliatory note from a leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) government at a time of unease in the country’s political and economic spheres.
总理府新闻顾问扎赫德·乌尔·拉赫曼在新闻发布会上作出上述表态。他表示,若能通过与人民联盟高层展开对话来奠定基础,和解事宜便值得考虑。不过他指出,目前实现和解的基本条件尚不具备,因为该党领导人并未对其所作所为表现出丝毫“悔意”。
Zahed Ur Rahman, the prime minister’s information adviser, made the comments at a press conference and said reconciliation could be considered if the groundwork was created through talks with the Awami League’s top leadership. He said the basic conditions for such a move were still missing because the party leadership had shown no "remorse for its actions"."Taking an initiative for reconciliation with the active activists and supporters of Awami League is not a bad idea. Rather, it would be good if such an initiative was taken," Zahed told reporters.
“主动与人民联盟的活跃成员及支持者寻求和解并非坏事,事实上,若能采取此类举措反而更好,”扎赫德对记者说道,“倘若有中间人士希望促成和解并认为此举有益,我也认同这是个好主意。”不过他并未说明“中间人士”具体指代何人。
"If someone in the middle wants reconciliation and thinks it is a good initiative, then I also think it is a good idea," he said. He said mediators should approach the Awami League first.
扎赫德强调,调解方应首先与人民联盟接洽。“他们必须主动联系人民联盟,通过与该党高层协商来奠定和解的基础。只有满足这一前提,相关事宜才能进入讨论环节,”他说道。
"They should reach out to Awami League. The basic ground for initiating reconciliation needs to be established through discussions with the party's top leadership.
他指出,当前的主要障碍在于人民联盟领导人毫无悔改之意。他提及2024年大规模抗议活动期间,时任政府采取了暴力镇压手段,最终这些抗议活动导致谢赫·哈西娜领导的人民联盟政府倒台,哈西娜本人也逃往印度。此后,由穆罕默德·尤努斯领导的临时政府接管政权,将在未来18个月内执掌国家事务。临时政府及现届政府均多次要求将哈西娜“引渡回国”。
If that is ensured, the matter can be discussed," Zahed said. He did not clarify whom he meant by "someone in the middle".Zahed said the current obstacle was the absence of any sign of repentance from the Awami League leadership, referring to the ousted government’s violent crackdown during the 2024 mass protests. Those protests toppled Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League government, after which she fled to India. An interim government led by Muhammad Yunus then took charge to govern the country for the next 18 months.
8月份,哈西娜曾表示她会自愿回国接受法律程序审理,此后在与国际媒体及印度媒体的交流中她也多次重申这一立场。自2024年政治局势发生转变以来,孟加拉国民族党多位高层领导人称人民联盟“已无政治影响力”,认为该党根本没有重返政坛的可能;与此同时,人民联盟的许多高级领导人要么流亡在孟加拉国境外,要么身陷囹圄。
The interim administration and the current government have repeatedly demanded Hasina’s "extradition". In August, Hasina said she would return voluntarily to face the legal process, and she repeated that position in several later interactions with international and Indian media.
在6月23日的新闻发布会上,扎赫德曾表示,唯有民众的记忆被抹去,人民联盟才有可能重返政坛——“那时我们都得患上痴呆症,把一切都忘掉才行”。塔里克·拉赫曼总理也多次强调,人民联盟实际上已无缘参与孟加拉国未来的民主进程。而孟加拉国民族党代理秘书长鲁胡尔·卡比尔·里兹维则反复声称,人民联盟“早已被扔进了历史的垃圾堆”。
Since the 2024 political transition, several senior BNP leaders have described the Awami League as "politically irrelevant" and said it had no chance of returning to the political arena, while many of its senior leaders were either on the run in Bangladesh and abroad or in jail. At a June 23 press conference, Zahed had said the Awami League could return only if people’s memory was erased and "we would have to develop dementia and forget everything".Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has also said on several occasions that the Awami League had effectively ruled itself out of Bangladesh’s future democratic landscape. BNP acting secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, meanwhile, has repeatedly said the party had "dumped itself into the trash bin of history".
不过,扎赫德周二的言论释放出一个信号:只要人民联盟领导层首先承担相应责任并满足谈判的基本条件,双方就有可能展开和解对话。
Tuesday’s remarks from Zahed, however, signalled that reconciliation could be discussed if the Awami League leadership first accepted responsibility and the basic conditions for talks were created.
