Dr Yunus introduces Mahfuz Alam as mastermind of student movement

At the Clinton Global Initiative during the 79th UN General Assembly, Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus, chief adviser of Bangladesh’s interim government, introduced Mahfuz Alam as the key strategist behind the recent student-led movement to oust the Awami League regime. Speaking alongside former US President Bill Clinton, Yunus praised the students' bravery against government violence and credited Mahfuz for his leadership, calling him the "brain of the revolution." Despite Yunus’ accolades, Mahfuz emphasized the movement's collective nature. Yunus also highlighted the disciplined, leaderless structure of the uprising, which made it resilient, and expressed hopes that Mahfuz's courage would inspire young people globally.
